[QUOTE="There is no Spoon, post: 1876426, member: 468755"] Hi Mikey, there is one simple idea behind the high amount of fat in [B]LCHF [/B]its you can eat as much fat as you want and it does not raise your blood sugar levels. Your body cannot convert [B]fats[/B] directly [B]into[/B] muscle-ready glycogen. :bookworm: Which means that you body has to bread down its own fat stores to produce a quick source of energy glycogen. Crazy as it sounds eating Fats makes you loose weight. :joyful: Like every thing in life it is more complicated than that, however in its simplest form cut down on sugar and carbohydrates and the body needs to find an alternative fuel source. Body Fat. [B][U]How this work in real world terms [/U][/B] [LIST] [*]You go low carb and you will start to feel tired/run down so we eat healthy fats as a substitute to sugar and the body will use this for fuel. It takes longer to digest the Fats and as such you feel fuller for longer less hungry. [*]While this is happening any need for a quick release of energy like exercise will opt to break down body fat which can quickly be turned into muscle-ready glycogen. [/LIST] As counter intuitive as it sounds this is why we go for high fat it helps loose weight and lowers blood sugar levels. [I]Because this is So Counter Intuitive [/I] people have taken to re branding [B]LCHF[/B] to mean [B]Low Carb Healthy Fat.[/B] Here is a list of some healthy fats.
