Low carbing one minute - eating hunks of bread the next. Then I realised there are plenty of slim people in the world who don't eat certain things for their health eg coeliacs. So I forgot all about weight loss and concentrated on getting my BG levels lower with LCHF. Switch to a smaller plate and make vegetable mash of various kinds to go with your meals. Lots of butter. Cream and cheese. If you are hungry have a low carb snack - nuts, cheese cube. Have berries and double cream for dessert. Make everything you eat be low carb but if you fancy eating something have it so long as it is low carb. Don't worry about calories. Stick to this for 2 weeks and I guarantee you will suddenly feel you need much less food to satisfy your hunger. That it when the weight loss starts. Enjoy it as a side effect of your lower BG levels which are a result of eating for your health not your weight. You will be amazed at how easy it is to stick to once you get going with it. You just need to make the mental readjustment.</blockquote>
