[QUOTE="KK123, post: 1945894, member: 451727"] Hi Lisa, I read an article the other day on the 'optimum' amount of carbs to eat on a lchf diet so that your body grabs the fat to use as energy instead of its first preference, carbs. It was between 20 and 50 tops. It said that if you ate more than that, then your body would simply use the carbs first and if given enough of those it didn't bother with the fat. Could that be why you are not losing weight on it?, it sounds as if even if, say a 100 carbs is classed as 'low' generally, for lchf (and weight loss) you have to go lower! Otherwise if the balance between carbs and fat is out (and you are eating a lot of fat as you can on this approach) you're likely to get fatter. Now I am no scientist but it sounded credible to me. x [/QUOTE]
