Eat fat to burn fat

[Mongolia]

I have just come across this article which I thought may be helpful to everyone who finds it tricky to understand how eating LCHF helps weight loss, especially the concept of eating high / full fat foods: http://www.livestrong.com/article/557726-eat-fat-to-burn-fat/

Excellent link thank you. This is what I have seen happen with my own metabolism. I ate more calories by adding fat and lost weight. I still have a way to go in repairing the damage I have done to my body counting calories and cutting down on fats, after all it took me 25+ years of silly diets to make more morbidly obese so I can't expect things to change overnight, but I am getting there now.

Also, 15 years ago I struggled to walk very far because my knees were painful on impact. Recently I walked 12 miles. This is a huge bonus and proves to me that fat is not the enemy.

Yes LCHF is working for me too. It just takes a while to get your head around the fact that eating fat doesn't make you fat, it is the carbs that have probably been causing the obesity problems. I used to live on bread and cheese - delighted to still be able to eat cheese :0)
