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!23 -
Welcome
. I've been LCHF since February 1 (20g of carbs per day or less, almost always less) and am down 49lbs so far. If you haven't added yourself to the Low Carb Daily group you should definitely do so! 12 -
I am doing LCHF. I have lost 146 pounds in total so far. 40 doing low fat and 106 doing LCHF.25

I thought its suppose to be low carb high protein diet?2

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.5 -
I've been very successful on this plan for 2 months now...I log my food daily if you'd like to add me.11
-
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 5

I have things set at 75% fat, 20% protein and 5% carbs. Too much protein and the body can turn it into glucose.
My calories are set at 1300, but I allow up to 1500.
Feel free to friend me.7 -
If you haven't yet check out the low carb group here:
http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/394-low-carber-daily-forum-the-lcd-group
Lots of good information and helpful people in there.3 -
Looking for other low carb eaters for support. I've been back at it for two months and down 20 pounds. I have 45 pounds to go.6

LCHF here too but lm not strict on the macros. I fast as well as this gets you into burning fat for fuel too. 6 weeks in and 13lb down so far.3

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.4 -

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.6 -
Sorry, don't have a pic up yet, but I am also doing LCHF. I have been doing it - not so faithfully - for about 3 weeks and have lost 8 pounds. I think my heavy alcohol intake was causing a reduction of ketosis, so I have slacked off and am being strict about staying under 30 gm CHO daily to see if that speeds up things.3

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!6 -
I have noticed that LCHF will not work to lose wt if we dont count calories. I learned the hard way. Followed it for four weeks straight out of Dr. Hymans book at the end of four weeks I gained 1.6 pounds boy was that a surprise to me. This past Monday I started it again but this time I am eating the allotted amount of calories figured by MFP.6

I just started Low Carb, High fat today! I'm doing up to 1,200 calories a day for the first three days and then bumping that up to 1,500 calories afterwards. I do up to 25g of carbs a day and everything else protein and fat. 2

Low carb here too1
-
i am going to start this soon, but am VERY nervous!!! I am not a big meat eater or vegi eater either!!!1
-
I'm on the LCHF diet too! Did it before a couple years ago and fell off after just a couple weeks but this time I'm Not Stopping! Started the last Thursday in March of this year and still going strong! Any low carbers are welcome to add me!4
-
Been on LCHF for almost 3 weeks now. I have already lost 13 lbs! Yay! The first 5 days I followed the Adkins fat fast to get into ketosis faster. And after the 2nd day, I lost all cravings for carbs but I did feel a little nauseated from eating so much fat. Now I have added moderate protein so I don't have that problem. I still watch my caloric intake as I believe a calorie is a calorie. I have a goal of losing another 50 lbs.6

I agree. Keeping tracks helps with accountability for healing food addicts like myself.8 -
