Looking for others on the Low Carb High Fat Diet. I have been on this new way of eating for 5 weeks and would like to talk with others on this diet.

    I wanted to know if the weight loss of 1 to 2 pounds a week is the norm. I also find that because of little to no fruit that constipation can be a problem and needed some advise on that since I have not lost any weight for over a week now.

    I have found it hard to get enough calories in with doing LOW CARB diet, but I have found that taking protein shakes or smoothies that are low in carbs/fats helps a lot in getting those extra calories in.

    I have given up sugar and all breads, rice and pasta. I started tracking to see why I am not losing weight recently. I lost 4 pounds in 5 weeks.

    Does anyone do bulletproof coffee? I am at 1200 calories or less...sometimes just not hungry.

    I have my nutrition set up at 75% Fat, 20% Protein, 5% carbs...is that what you guys are using as a guide?

    Linda50ish,
    I am doing the same ratio but not losing much. I thought since I have 80 pounds to lose that I would lose weight faster in the beginning on the LCHF diet.

    Here's a link to a really nice easy to follow website with basic info, shopping list and recipes and alternatives.. etc http://www.dietdoctor.com/low-carb

    I've been doing really well at this for a bit now - although i'd say a bit of meal prep and planning seriously helps when you're getting started.. after a while it seems quite effortless. :)

    I've got my ratio's at that too... I did start at 30% protein and 65% fat but something I read made me change it.. I have to say I find these new ratios easier to follow as I never managed to get enough protein but always overdid the fat! lol
