Hi, All,
I've been on LCHF for about a year. My bg is stable. I weighed 158lb (5'5.5" tall, 70 y.o. female) when I started. Now I weigh 130 or a shade less. Dr. asked me to lose 8-10 lbs and when I had lost more than that, he told me to stop losing weight. But, as you all know, I'm ketonising (sp). I'm not fasting. I'm not hungry. I'm not keeping track of # of carbs, but as a guess, having something like 65g a day. No pasta or sugar. Have added in 1 or 2 small slices of 8 grain, 3 seed bread and frozen yogurt pop (15gm carb) daily in last few months. Eat meat, cheese, veg, eggs, some berries, small glass of wine, fish and that grainy bread and yogurt pop, heavy cream in coffee.
I keep losing weight. I'm not exactly skeletal, but thin. I'm seeing dr. tomorrow. He doesn't really understand LCHF.
Q. if he tells me to STOP losing weight, how best to maintain w/o losing more? Add carbs? Or?
Thanks in advance for input!
