[QUOTE="CherryAA, post: 1374520, member: 327005"] I started off thinking the whole LCHF thing was mad - that lasted a weekend before having read enough research and thinking back over my last few years, I realised that things really couldn't get any worse if I went for broke and simply embraced the whole thing including the saturated fats. 4 stone lighter later, I went on a date this week, with a guy 20 years younger than me who refused to believe I was not in my early 40's ( actually 59!) I have now converted 4 of my non-diabetic neighbours onto an LCHF diet and one insulin dependent diabetic. My 4 neighbours and 2 younger men are now doing it because " **** you look good girl " - Why is your skin and hair so healthy and why do you look so much younger than 6 months ago? The conversation starts out in shock, progresses to - "you have got to be kidding" when in a coffee shop I stuck a knob of butter in my coffee and asked the waiter for cream instead of milk and has progressed to the point where the lard shelf and supplies of butter and cream in my local supermarket are starting to run out ! and my diabetic friend has come off the insulin. Meanwhile my own brother, who is less swayed by my new sexy appearance, has pretty much ignored a lot of what I said ! Tonight I have dinner invite from a chappie who has now embraced LCHF and is cooking a meal for me from the Tom Kerridge book. Finally my dinner parties have a new found popularity as people get to eat stuff that is so wicked that they can't believe it. All in all this diabetes diagnosis has considerably enhanced my social life - all hail to LCHF ! [/QUOTE]
