I am having some problems with the high fat part of the low carb diet. Some of the meals end up making me feel sick as I have never been able to eat lots of fat. If I reduce the fat I expect I will lose weight that I don't want to lose. Does anyone have this problem?
I am still losing weight but don't feel hungry - just the opposite as I feel quite full most of the time. so I will have to try adding more to what I eat as I don't want friends to make comments about beging thin!I eat low-carb, high-fat (or 'healthy fat'), and because I can't control my portion sizes, I struggle to keep my weight down these days.
Not ideal for me, but hopefully applicable in your case. I eat mainly eggs, almonds, meat and fish, green vegetables and cheese.
Low-carb/Keto, is a good way to lose weight, but if you just adjust the portion sizes, or take in more fat, it should also be a good way to gain weight while keeping your sugars down.
Had similar problem with fat causing indigestion and nausea to start with. I found it best to measure portions of high fat foods and gradually increase them, as tolerance improved, but until recently had not realised the importance of protein. As Tophat1900 said if you are naturally slim your body does not utilise fat well, or store it, so I would recommnd increasing your protein intake. Along with the healthy fats. Since doing this the weight loss is less and some weeks am now gaining a small amount. Still looking for the correct balance but now feeling that on 100ish carbs a day and higher protein am getting there.I am having some problems with the high fat part of the low carb diet.

Had that stuffed to the gills feeling all the time on high fat, Since moving to a bit less fat, more protein am a lot more comfortable and I get hungry. Weight is now fluctuating, bit up, bit down. So much better than the constant loss experienced on high fat.I am still losing weight but don't feel hungry - just the opposite as I feel quite full most of the time. so I will have to try adding more to what I eat as I don't want friends to make comments about beging thin!
Eggs... expensive?What you say makes a lot of sense to me - Will be making an effort to increase protein. Eggs and avocado for breakfast again
Just wish it wasn't so expensive.
Avocado E1.20 each. Toast .9 loaf does a whole week.Eggs... expensive?
It's not the eggs, no problem with them, it's avocado that are expensive, and I need them for calories early in the day.@SlimLizzy - 30 eggs, at £3.25? https://groceries.asda.com/product/standard/chefs-value-30-medium-eggs/910001537321
