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.

Stay strong low carb High fat for 2 months I have done well. have you checked out the low carb forum on MFP?

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.

Have you read Gary Taubes book good calories bad calories, it challenges that thought that a calorie is a calorie.

Dr. James Carlson wrote a book called Genocide subtitled how you doctors ignorance will kill you. He argues that calories has no scientific relationship to the way the body uses nutrients. His thinks the body doesn't know what a calorie is, he ask what organ in the body processes a calorie? The answer is none they process fat,protien, and carbs.

Just food for thought. They could be wrong but I wanted to share these thoughts from these authors.

Good morning everyone! I have been doing LCHF (ish) for the last 3 1/2 months. By saying "ish", I mean that if I choose to make choices that involve whole grains, I may do so. I'm following the basic principles but am allowing myself some flexibility to live a little. While 80% of the time I will eat LCHF, I will also choose to have a cob of corn or allow myself a small sliver of birthday cake at someone's party. I really want to be realistic about this lifestyle change as I know it's exactly that and not a fad. I want to ensure success and that means not beating myself up on the times I can't follow things to the letter.

I started out very insulin resistant, but in the last 3 months have changed that to only slightly resistant. I'm looking forward to my next blood test in 3 more months. I have lost 34.5 lbs since I started in March and still have a very long way to go. My doctor told me it took me a lifetime to get where I am, so not to expect this journey to happen too quickly. I also have PCOS and that provides some other food and weight loss challenges. I could really use some supportive friends and people to share this journey with.

I look forward to seeing all the fresh ideas and inspiration I'm sure will come of this group. Please feel free to add me as a friend!

I've been doing the low carb high fat diet since March 1 (my birthday). I've lost 30 pounds! Only 70 more to go

I am so glad to have found this group. I've been doing LCHF for 5 weeks. Gained 2 lbs but feel better. I have 50 lbs to lose. I realized I'm eating to many calories, so this week I'm tracking better and fasting 14 hours each night. Looking to engage more this group as I need to connect with people who understand this lifestyle.

I recently started low carb as well, looking to meet people who are also following the low carb woe. To help stay motivated, share recipes ect.

I'm glad I found this thread. I'm not sure about how to post extra. But I'm about 4 months in on LCHF and have lost 30 lbs. IM LOOKING FOR FRIENDS DOING LCHF ALSO. Please send me a request if you also need a few more friends.
