    lchf definitely helps you lose weight. I've been doing it for 6 months. Its a lifestyle change not some quick diet plan. I don't think it helps with muscles, Watch "Butter made my Pants fall off" Bob Briggs. and Why I got fat, fathead. This explains alot. It's not for everyone. But explains why carbs are so bad for us.

    It helps some stay in a state of negative energy balance. Negative energy balance helps you lose weight. LCHF was the tool (one of many) used...

    It's a tool to help control calories, nothing more...

    Documentaries are not good sources of information and generally are very biased and agenda based.


    Baring medical conditions, carbs aren't bad for us. Its the over consumption of calories and lack of exercise that is bad for us. Or even the type of carbs, just like the type of fat that has the biggest impact.

    There isn't a "one-size-fits-all" diet that works for everyone. There are numerous factors, including health, genetics, gender, age, environment, activity level , cultural influences, etc. that affect results. As long as you're getting sufficient nutrients, tweak the ratios and do what's best for you.
