Low carb high fat dieter here

Low carb here too x

Hey Everyone!!!

I just started a very low carb "life-style" last Monday May 2nd 2016.

Carbs 10% Protein 25% Fat 65%

My NET carbs have to stay under 30 grams (for now)

Would love to meet people on the same ship. Would love to share diaries or recipes!!

This is a huge change for me....I am about 65 pounds too awesome. I would say I use to eat a good 80% carbs in the past.
I have recently gone for biomarker testing, live blood and thermography?! tests. I have too much insulin in my blood. I show insulin resistance, leaky gut, dangerously high estrogen, upset thyroid and a few other things.

Please look me up and add me as a friend
There is strength in numbers!

I am doing LCHF. I have lost 146 pounds in total so far. 40 doing low fat and 106 doing LCHF.

I thought its suppose to be low carb high protein diet?

Technically I'd say a more appropriate name is Low Carb, Moderate Protein, Moderate Fat. The "High Fat" in weight loss SHOULD refer to the body fat you're burning for energy rather than dietary fat if you're doing it correctly. Higher dietary fat is more the territory of maintenance LCHF imo.

Also doing LCHF! Started about two weeks ago and definitely seeing better results than I've ever seen with other types of diets! I would love to meet anyone else doing the same

Too much protein will turn into glucose, lower carbs will not satisfy you therefore, raising good fat will satiate and will not raise your inslin levels therfore the fuel your body will reach for is fat you store on your body. This will help you lose weight.

I've lost 49lbs since February 1st so I don't think weight loss is an issue for me but thanks . My macros are set up at 75% fat, 20% fat, 5% carbs as well (to fit my OKL chart specs reasonably well) but I would never eat the entire fat macro (which I think a lot of non-LCHF people think we do, thus why I said this WOE could use a renaming) because that makes no sense in weight loss when you need to be burning the fat off your body.

Furthermore you have to eat a pretty significant amount of protein to have issues with glucogenesis as I understand it (If I recall the last article I read on the subject it was something wild like 300g+!). Eating a moderate amount of protein would be highly unlikely to "turn steak into cake" and I've yet to be in any LCHF group that would disagree with that outside of MFP.

Same diet here. Lost 21 lbs and I'd like to lose another 20. I'm a veteran at this diet as I've done it off an on for years now. Never stuck to it long enough to reach my goal though. This time I'm not quitting. I've been in Ketosis since March.
Feel free to add me anyone. Good luck to you all!
