Anyone doing the Low carb/ High fat & protien "diet"?

Everyone has their own method and as long as you are in a calorie deficit you will lose weight, some people just use a different route to achieve that deficit.

Personally I don't like a low carb approach. Some people will say that is the only way they can lose weight. Whatever way you chose to do it just remember it has to be something that you can sustain forever. If someone is going very low carbs to lose weight what is going to happen when they reach their goal and begin to revert back to old eating habits and start eating more carbs? When you start to add those carbs back in you are also adding more calories, it can be done, but you have to be aware of it.

Bottom line is a calorie deficit is the only absolute requirement for weight loss, how one chooses to achieve that deficit will be their choice.

I eat about 25% carbs. 40% protein and 35% fat in a day.I love having butter and olive oil and my treat includes clotted cream with strawberries. I don't use pork rinds as that is unhealthy and I follow a variation of the Harcombe Diet. It's worked for me really well. As for fruit, I do eat it but limit it as I've reduced as much sugar as possible. Fruit juice for example is worse for this that fruits. I love most berries but am cautious with high sugar fruits like bananas unless I need a energy boost
This is combination with regular exercise and careful eating has helped me lose about 11 KG in 3 months and also feel much better physically

Hopefully this helps clear some worries?

Good morning I never really post on her but i am curious about something.... Im in a facebook group and their purpose is helping people maintain a low carb high fat/ protein WOE. The things that they post on there seems very unhealthy. They use pork grinds in everything, load up on heavy cream, they love butter and a host of other things. As long as they dont eat anything over 20g of carbs a day (for some people a lower amount). Is this healthy? Is this a successful way to drop pounds. Wouldn't adding all of that fat to ones diet increase other problems ( heart problems etc)? And they dont eat fruit.... I was always tought that fruit was good? Im not trying to look down on anyones WOE i am just a little confused and wanted to know if this method is effective. Thanks in advance.

good morning hun. my husband eats this way and has lost about 20 lbs. he is very healthy (he sees his dr for regular check-ups) and looks amazing (works-out 5 times per week) it works for him. I have been very hesitant about starting it, but he finally convinced me to try, so I started it this weekend. I slept GREAT last night for the first time in a very long time!!! my aim is about <10g/carbs per day but that is only to start. I think people go up to 24+ even 50+g/day when they reach their goal weight.

my husband does eat fruit, just very very little. he likes grapes! also, berries. but he will stay under his carb goal for the day, so that means eating very few. he loves fried pork rinds (we had some last night as a snack!) we cook in butter and coconut oil and pour olive oil on our salads (yes, we can have greens!) he puts heavy cream in his coffee. his cholesterol is just fine, his blood pressure is completely normal. he does not consider this a diet, but like you said a WOE or lifestyle change.

everyone is different and it may not work for some, but I am trying it. hope to see the results my husband has.

he lost 17lbs in just a couple of weeks, then the other 3 lbs over the last couple of weeks, BUT we went to las vegas on vacation, so he didn't lose while we were there _ BUT didn't gain either! LOL
so I would say over the course of just over a month he has lost the 20 lbs. (7 weeks'ish??) I think he started early august.
