There are a couple of blog posts that I have read recently that might be an interesting read for some of you who haven't seen the weight loss they expected on LCHF.

They are written by a nutritionist in New Zealand (I'm a New Zealander) called Mikki Williden. She's well very well regarded, she eats LCHF herself.

Part one is here - https://mikkiwilliden.wordpress.com/2017/02/08/lchf-why-isnt-it-working-for-me-part-1/

Part two is here - https://mikkiwilliden.wordpress.com/2017/02/19/lchf-why-isnt-it-working-for-me-part-2/
 

Really interesting thanks for posting
 
thank you @fionaclare these are interesting and lucid articles.

She seems to have a very common sense approach and I particularly like the way part 1 is kept fairly simple and part 2 contains the more in depth specific stuff.
 
I suspected it was the nuts and cheese for me. I know I should not snack on them, as I find them so moreish!

Yes, she is very good and has a great scientific research based background and lives what she preaches too.

Seeing a nutritional therapist was one of the best things I did. With her we have worked on the micro aspects of my diet (getting enough of the right type of fat for me and upping my mineral intake). Has made a big difference to my energy levels.
 
I too suspected nuts and cheese.
Since reducing nuts I started losing. Too much cheese and other fatty protein slows down my digestion.
No nuts or only 5 nuts (handful) isn't enough fiber for me. So looking into swollen tummy currently.
Might resort to a fiber additive to food.

Feeling more confident these days as to HOW to lose weight.
