I've been at such a low point for the past few months and the weight is starting to creep back up. Thanks for the honest and comforting comments that reinforce that this is not a one-time thing. It is the LCHF combined with exercise combined with this forum's amazing support that helped me lose 30 pounds last year...and will help me lose 30 more.
@gerrielips I'm happy that my words brought you some comfort... I tend to share with too much honesty sometimes, so it is good to know it helps some folks. LOL1 -

Once I have reached a certain level of knowledge I lose some interest. That's where I am now. There aren't many LCHF or keto books that I haven't read at this point. I feel like I mastered this way of eating. There is no challenge now so it is less interesting.
You sound like me, with literally everything. I would call it ADD, if not for the fact that the interests usually last for at least months, if not years in some cases.
@Gallowmere1984 - Hyperfocusivity is a HUGE component of ADD or ADHD for many folks, me included... Look it up. That covers you COMPLETELY.
I'll definitely give it a look, but I'm not overly concerned with it either way. It's not having a negative impact on my job or life, so there's no way anyone (especially not a doctor) will ever convince me that it needs cured.

That's me, too. I have problems with it years back, but my thyroid was all kinds of messed up back then, way more than now, so it played into it a lot, too.0

What percentages of carbs, fats and proteins are we supposed to eat?0

Because its summer and festivals, pool parties, etc are going on I am distracted from my previous stimulation/entertainment of eating. Horray!
Also, I've lost 24 pounds since last year and can see that my tummy and the areas between my breasts and belly is flatter and bigger. Also my hips are less fat. I am going to HAVE TO TAKE MY CLOTHES IN!4 -

I currently run 5/65/30 c/f/p. It's up to each person though.0 -
Have learned very much from this thread because am so new to this WOE, but what I like best is how EZ it is to grab a burger and a salad, or steak and Brussels sprouts ....garden salad with grilled chicken.
How nice does this feel, never being hungry? How great is this losing weight without effort?
So have been wondering if this will last , it is probably newbie Euphoria.... Having said that, I keep my fats WAY UP and that's using only Kerry Gold, Olive oil and Heavy Cream. The Himalayan pink salt , pickles , broth keep salt levels up. .... Hard Boiled egg yolks , so good.
Am four pounds from goal in just 6 months, doing easily as well as one friend on Jenny Craig and Jenny Craig is costly but she can't manage any other plan.
Have been asked how I'm losing weight and my answer is, " no whites" .....everyone shakes their head " yes" they know it's the carbs that are problematic even if they can't yet back away.
I do not spend time reworking the old foods, instead I'm free to do other things, a type of liberation and I was a PF Chang's fried rice junkie.

This week, I let a lot of the stuff I had been eating spoil from that very thing... boredom! I still don't want to find replacements for the bad, old foods, for fear that I will start to abuse those too, like I did with white carbs and sweets. Still working it, though! Good luck all!!3

Would love a recipe!0
