OK here's a recap of why the thread was set up.
"Please can members who do or have tried the LC/HF diet recently or in the past .
Who may have struggled to lose weight easily whilst using the LC/HF diet in their eating routine/regime .
Please post up your stories on how or why you found this a struggle .
We would be interested to hear of this if you have found it a struggle or difficult ."
@PippTo avoid getting into a loop, I will leave the thread, now.
Well for me this has gone from a great thread to something a little disappointing. Shame really. Good luck to all those who post their stories here.
That is not going to happen.
What I see on forum is that anyone who does have a different diet, or opinion tends to be ridiculed. I find that very distasteful, and disrespectful. Whenever I have attempted to explain what I have done, or the difficulty I have with a diet I am told it is wrong. Even though 10 years after diagnosis, I have managed 3 and a half years with non-diabetic BG, and no longer have diabetes medication. I do not dismiss or disrespect other peoples' diets just because they do not suit me.
Add to this that our posts are discussed on facebook, and another, smaller, newer low carb forum, which spends a lot of time ridiculing members and moderators of DCUK, and I have completely lost interest, and trust in posting regularly.

You're not so daft or thick, you were right the first time. When did somebody decide the letters in an acronym didn't have to represent the words? If anybody wants to refer to "Full Fat", they better start calling it LCFF because there's a lot of websites out there that refer to "Low Carbohydrate High Fat". You're be telling me that LoL doesn't mean "Lots of Love" next. LOLI am so daft that I thought the HF part of LCHF meant high fat, didn't realise it just meant 'full fat' [I do think that should be explained to new members who may be thick like me!]
@Pipp , please don't go, your posts are valuable.
Also, as the original question was about LCHF, I have written about my experience with just Low carb, so apologies for that, I think if I'd replaced those carb calories with HF calories as in high fat, I would not have had the same success with weight loss.
