Hello! My husband is type 11 and has lost 3 stone following the low carb/high fat diet. He doesn't want to lose any more weight but seems still to be losing. I don't think we should reintroduce carbs and have tried increasing portion size. However he says he is eating as much as he feels that he needs. He is snacking on high fat foods such as nuts, high cocoa content chocolate - anyone have any suggestions how to stop weight loss? He is 6 ft 2" and now weighs 12 stone 4 lbs. Thank you!
Hi and welcome to the forum,
As you don't want to increase carbs (and it is best you don't), then your only other options are to increase fats or protein or both.
This happened to me after I lost all my excess weight. I increased both fats and protein from foods such as eggs, cream, cheese, mayonnaise. It took a while, and a lot of weighing and recording, but in the end I found the right balance and stabilised my weight. I have remained stable since 2014. I started by having an extra egg each day, and then some extra cheese, then cream in my coffee, and put more mayo on my salads. I also had a glass of red wine in the evenings.
If you don't increase carbs, this is all you can do. In fact, I actually lowered my carbs to please my blood sugars.
Well done to your husband for losing his weight.
