I am still learning how to work my food choices to most benefit my blood sugar, but I don't have to think about it nearly as much as I used to. Like you, I struggled with increasing my fats at the beginning too, but now it is just part of my meal routine. Be patient with yourself and remember that this is a journey.I have also found that when something isn't working for me anymore like it used to, it is time to re-evaluate and start from the basics. The LCHF has been a gradual journey for me. First, I started restricting carbs, but as I restricted them more, I started adding more fat. I don't eat 80%, but I do shoot for 70-75%. If what you are doing isn't working, stop, go back to the beginning and try again.Some people say that they do not have to watch calories or log their food and it works for them. I am not that person and I have to do both. Lots of great advice here, though. The overall theme is to work the plan to fit YOUR needs...it looks different for everyone.Good luck!!! <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
