[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 1162802, member: 41816"] There is absolutely no reason for a LCHF to be high in protein - so don't worry about it! In fact if you keep it lower, you are more likely to lose weight. The whole idea that LCHF is high protein is one of those internet myths that just won't seem to die! lol. And it gets passed around and around with no truth in it, and people use it to try and criticise low carb. Basically, you eat as much protein as you need (and that can be low or high, depending on age, activity levels, whether you are a gym bunny, or a sedentary person, etc). Then you eat lots of fresh, healthy unprocessed veg, and a little fruit (avoid the really sweet ones, and choose berries for preference, since they are lower in fructose, and fructose is bad for laying down visceral fat and can encourage T2 diabetes). Then you eat enough fat that you don't get hungry. - and it really is as simple as that. Have a look at these threads, and you will see what people are eating.

Then at lunch I will have mozzarella with a huge green salad, and for supper it will be a home made chicken curry with onion, tomato, aubergine, green beans and a lot of garlic. I use the Pataks curry pastes, since they are low carbish, in the amounts I use. I will spend a total of about 15 mins in the kitchen. lol. and my protein will probably be on the low side of normal. Edited: forgot to say :) when I first started LCHF I lost about 20 pounds, slowly and effortlessly. But you will see stories of people on here who lose more, faster, so it really is down to the individual's body and how they tailor their diet to suit themselves. [/QUOTE]
