[QUOTE="plonkish_, post: 854761, member: 160655"] The LCHF diet does involve dieters having a lot of faith in what people are saying it can do. The diet goes against just about everything we've been told to do. For people with high cholesterol or problems with their kidney function, it's even harder. I'm doing it and it's working for me (lost weight and BG down), at first I didn't feel completely comfortable having extra salt or having full fat cream in my coffee. But, I got leg cramps at night when I first started LCHF and having extra salt stopped it straight away! And I'm getting used to (and enjoying) the extra dairy fat. I don't even miss carbs much because I've started to find substitutes and my body is used to it now. I look forward to research being published and this diet becoming accepted by people in general so that I can't stop justifying what I eat to people who don't understand. I've lost count of the number of times someone has commented when I have mayonnaise on my salad, snack on nuts or have cream in coffee 'I thought you were on a diet. ..' I don't actually see it as a diet now. [/QUOTE]
