[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 1227496, member: 41816"] Hi and welcome. People often lose weight on low carb diets even if they add in fat. It seems to be a combination of things: - the increased fat stops people being hungry so they actually end up eating less - even though they are no longer hungry - if the body fuels itself on fat instead of sugar then it is used to burning fat - this makes it easier to use up fat reserves - when we are diabetic we are glucose intolerant. for many of us, this means we crave carbs. once we stop eating them, the cravings go away, so we no longer want to eat all the junk and rubbish that made us gain the weight in the first place - LCHF encourages insulin levels to reduce, simultaneously reducing insulin resistance - making it easier to lose weight - people often have more energy and fewer aches and pains when on low carb high fat, which means they are more active and have greater stamina. -by eating low carb higher fat, we actually eat better food, with better nutrients, more veg, etc. the effect of this is that the body is able to start repairing itself from all the damage we have done to it, eating the rubbish carby diet. If you need convincing, you can rummage around the forum and see all the fabulous success stories. Or you could try it yourself ;) although it needs insulin or med adjustment, because people often need to lower their meds and adjust their insulin. [/QUOTE]
