Message: <blockquote data-quote="Stallen" data-source="post: 1076168" data-attributes="member: 223641">I lost around 20kg in the 3 months that I've been on the LCHF diet my BMI is under 23, I eat every 2-3 hrs throughout the day. It seems the more good fats I consume, the more satisfied and less hungry than if I were consuming empty carbs which I was doing.I keep my portion sizes fairly small as with any diet if you over do the calorific numbers you'll gain weight, more important would be to switch over from carbs to fat for fuel, which should lower your BG and help with irritation.I only started looking at the calories once my BG were coming down, I increased my exercise mainly walking to help offset the impact of the higher fats, I really didn't  need to be as strict as I have been, but it's not been at all difficult, the smaller high fat portions compared to a larger carb portion are more filling and the energy gained from fats, are released over a longer period of time, which  helps the the body stay fuelled and focused for longer than the starchy carbs would do. That's been  my take on it so far.</blockquote>
