[QUOTE="AliB, post: 1268736, member: 16907"] What I have learned after many years of low carb/Keto/zero carb eating is that although the current low carb mantra is "if you aren't eating carbs, you have to be eating loads of fat", it isn't true. If you are already slim, fit, lean and healthy when embarking on LCHF, then yes, it should work. If however, you have any excess weight to lose, you need to lower the fat - quite radically in some cases. That leaves just protein and some greens. But it does work. In order to force my body to burn its own fat I have to radically lower the amount of fat I eat. I tried LCHF. No hardship. I love fat. But I GAINED well over 30lbs and my insulin resistance worsened. My body loves to store it, but doesn't burn it very well. I daresay that if Jamie Owen had not only followed the diet for more than 3 weeks AND lowered his fat intake until he had lost the weight, the outcome would have been far more successful.......
