[QUOTE="Ian DP, post: 922004, member: 91575"] The biggest problem I have is maintaining weight. My diet is 80% fat, 15% protein and 5% carbs. I have always been around 13 stone, but when I first started to low carb I dropped to below 12 stone (I am 6'-2" tall). By consciously eating more / extra fat I have managed to put on weight, and am now 12.5 stone, and have been for over a year now (my cholesterol HDL - the good one - is very good). If you want to put on weight buy pots of double cream and add it to everything you can (scrambled eggs, coffee, cream sauces (eg cauliflower cheese - grated cheese and cream). I get through about 150ml a day. Try a bullet proof coffee. In an empty mug add 30g butter plus 30g coconut oil, then 3/4 fill with filtered or cafeteria coffee (you can add a spoonful of instant coffee instead and add water) then pour in some double cream and whisk with a battery whisker (this is important, if you don't have a battery whisk, buy one (£1.00 in IKEA!!!). If you find the coffee is a bit on the cold side, put the mug with butter and coconut oil in a bowl of boiling water first, to melt it. Add lots of Helmans Real Mayonaise to your salads, and I mean lots. I buy them in bulk when on half price offers. An avocado with a salad is good. I find rib eye steaks are the fattest (and tastiest) steaks, so I eat a lot of these, plus lamb chops. [/QUOTE]
