[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 659602, member: 41816"] I don't know how low your version of low carb is, but... Ive been getting progressively lower for about 9 months now. Started at 60-80g, then reduced to 40-60g, then less than 40, and now 20ish. Felt better with every step. Now I've been low carbing for a looooong time now, starting maybe 30 years ago, but the high fat part is new for me. This year new. And by golly does it work for MY body. My weight has been stable, or rising by a few pounds a year for the past few years. Mainly because I've only been reducing the carbs to a level that doesn't cause problems. Since dropping the carbs further, and raising the fat, I have been losing weight. but not only that - the last three weeks I have eaten more fat than ever before. cream, cheese, oil, skin, on meat, you name it. And my weight loss has accelerated. I'm a kinda low carb vet. But this? This is incredible. I can't believe what is happening. So, the reason for that preamble, was [B][I]please, don't be afraid of the fat[/I][/B]. (although, only do more fat if you are v low carbing. fat and carbs REALLY don't make a good combo. that's when the weight gain and the triclycerides, and the cholesterol go wangy) All my opinion and experience, but not for everyone, I do realise. :) [/QUOTE]
