The LCHF diet has many health benefits but is also known for enabling/causing weight loss. What is likely to happen to an already thin person who doesn't want/need to lose weight if they go low carb? Is it possible to say? (My technical knowledge is somewhat lacking here.) Many thanks in advance...
Many people find when trimming back the carbs that they lose some weight, but where that's not desirable, it only lasts until the individual can find their mantenance point. Many end up reducing carbs, without adding in some additional fat. Often that results in a caloric imbalance.
I would say give it a whirl, but weight yourself maybe more frequently than you might usually, and see how you go. If you start dropping weight, my sweet spot was discovered by firstly just eating a bit more of everything I was eating, then adding a bit more protein, then upping the fats.
It took me a short while to achieve the sweet spot, but then I was happy enough trimming up to begin with.
I now hold a steady weight, skirting around the 48kg mark. I'm very slight. When I needed to add some weight after surgery a couple of years ago, it took a while to get in on, bearing in mind I didn't want to move away from my reduced carb, with balancing fats way of eating.
