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.
Ketogenic diets are in the range of 70- 80% fat. That is what I am doing.0 -
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?1 -

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.
I think people should tweak it for what works for them. I sm glad you found what works for you. It may need to be tweaked as you get further down the road. I eat unlimited calories but 80-90 % fat. I have been loosing weight at a pretty good clip.
The other side of that is my body is now fat adapted so I am not hungry most of the time so I eat less and do intermittent fast. I am fasting every Tuesday and Thursday now for 24 hrs. It seems to work well for me.1 -

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.2 -
I'm doing LC/HF as well! I've been doing this way of eating since april 1, 2016 and I'm down 21lbs so far.3

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!1 -
I'm still the damned same weight! And feel bloated all the time. I drink regular 8 glasses of water. I've gone higher carb on Friday for my Saturday run and I have to go back because I am craving carbs! Possibly shark week upon me I don't know. Think I need start detox tea water again to help!0

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've been researching HF/HC/MP lifestyle for about two years, I finally started it in the Spring. I found this web site about 25 days ago, and it's been a great help. Some of the challenges I found is just getting enough fat in your diet. Anybody struggling hang in there and don't be afraid to ask questions. I would love to hear how other people are increasing the amount of fat in their diet, without going over their calorie count. Also anybody keeping their carb count below 20 if so how? I found it to be impossible but under 50 is very doable.0

I have been pretty consistently keeping carbs under 20g. The one was that I incorporate a bit more fat in my diet is in the morning I either have half an avocado with my breakfast or drink a cup of bullet proof coffee. Feel free to add me!
