[QUOTE="OzBlossom, post: 2324042, member: 402514"] I'm still learning a lot, but have to say that my current ultra low cal low carb has been the first time that I can definitely see that I'm losing body fat and sustaining the downward trend on the scales plus of course - HUGE benefits in blood sugar control. And I'm not ravenously hungry and wanting to rip off one of my own arms and eat it - bonus!(Well, I should say that was the case ONCE I made it past the first 4 days, lol.) Right now I've got my focus on using this phase to reach the goal of stripping fat from internal organs with a drop of about 15kg, apparently an important functional marker. I expect that after that I'll be aiming for the LCHF style with intermittent fasting for long term health, optimal blood sugar control and normalisation of weight. I will still have a lot of weight to lose, but feel like I can do this with a switch to more of a 5:2 or 4:3 approach. It's enlightening to have found an approach that works for me - as opposed to faithfully following something like weight watchers and seeing the scales barely budge, week in, week out - so frustrating and disheartening! Very interesting and educational as well to see the variation in approaches people on this forum use to manage their health. [/QUOTE]
