Hello everyone, I wonder if you can give me some advice. Since September last year I have been using the LCHF way of eating.
I haven't found it too difficult to reduce my carbs down to approx 20g per day but I don't think I am feeling as well as I should. Could it be that I am not eating sufficient fat - roughly what percentage of a meal should be fat.
Yesterday my husband and I had roast beef salad sandwich for lunch, my husband had his on 2 slices of Burgen large sliced bread and I had mine on iceberg lettuce leaves. It occurred to me that my husband had had about 22g carb, am I supposed to have equivalent in fat and if so, how?
My second question is - Would it be healthy for my husband (who has no metabolic problems at all) to follow the LCHF way of eating?
Thank you.
