[QUOTE="Tori71, post: 1950014, member: 486157"] Hi [USER=256148]@miahara[/USER] I am in the same position as you with weight loss, my problem being how to sustain not lose. On diagnosis I was 8 stone 3ibs which is well within the healthy parameters. When I began eating low carb the weight began to fall off me at a worrying rate and within about a month to six weeks I was 7 stone 6ibs. I just needed to eat a lot, and I mean a lot of natural fat! At first I was worried that I would push my cholesterol up (already a bit high). But as you can see from the results below it is now very low despite the increase in fat. Everyday I make sure I have the following - very thick grass fed butter on low carb toast, very thick double cream on low carb berries with chocolate 'granola' which contains pumpkin and sunflower seeds and almonds-all high in fat I try and eat olives with lunch and or full fat pate, sometimes avocados. I'm also a big fan of eggs, cheese, cream cheese and high percentage chocolate. Once I'd switched the weight loss stopped and now hovers around 7stone 10lbs. It takes a lot of planning to make sure I have all there things in, and if I drop a few pounds if I don't keep the high fat bit up for a couple of days. My main mistake was not to realise that if the calories from cutting carbs are reduced you have to replace them with something!:banghead: Feel a lot better on this type of diet.
