Yeah, I eat this way. Pro's for me are; More energy, less bloating, no IBS symptoms, I'm leaner while adding muscle, no pressure eating too much fat, cheese, I'm not sluggish or lethargic. Cons; beer. I love beer, but now it kills me. No pizza unless you make the base from coconut or almond flour. Some may get "keto flu" I…

Can't someone make a post on here without some smart comment? What are you supposed to do in this situation? Slap the colleagues with a hunk of rotting fish until they relent with their teasing? You can't physically do anything so ignore the comments. They'll soon get bored. You've just to stick to your guns and focus on…

Try ruled.me there are some good recipes.

It appears saying that you don't eat carbs makes people minds do a backflip. They also make snide and unhelpful comments. "Oh, I couldn't give up carbs." "It's not normal!" Etc... These comments are par for the course, and should be dismissed.

Well done. Keep it up. I'm not sure I mentioned if I eat at a deficit or not. I eat till I'm full.

There is no connection in my post to any particular source of any of the reactions I've been accustomed to when discussing lchf. ;-) I'd also not call it bad mouthing, even if it did. It's an observation of reaction, I've not called anyone out. I'm of the belief that if someone has found something that works, they should…

I've read back. Ok pro's I can see my abs I'm not bloated I'm not grumpy from hunger I don't need to eat so often I'm alert More energetic Probably won't get type ii, Have a stroke, CVD or other metabolic issues. Cons, Cutting out stuff I like - beer, pizza Finding sugar and carbs in everything sold at the supermarket My…

Sorry, I've not read through the thread. I found that there are some slightly educated people on the main forums who think they know best. The trouble is they have come at research from the wrong point of view, in a view to disregard it in light of what they know. This is not how science works, these same people would tell…

MFP marks it in red because they're in a position to tell us that fat is going to do us harm. Some will, but natural dietary fat won't.

I drink red wine or whiskey these days, proper whiskey, made in Scotland and none of that blended muck! AND NO ICE, just a wee nip of water.

Don't I know it!! See the thread that's turned in to War and Peace after someone asked for foods that burned belly fat. My downfall is nuts and beer. Proper beer, real ale. I had to cut out alcohol for a while to revive my liver. When I came back to it I drank nothing through the week but would have a good session with the…

I made some pecan butter tonight, what a pain that is! Tastes great. 8oz of pecan 1 desert spoon of coconut oil Half a teaspoon of vanilla essence Salt to taste Teaspoon of cinnamon power Heat the pecans for 4-8 mins Whack em it all in a blender until you're happy with the texture.

I was being sarcastic.

Btw, well done everyone eating carbs and loosing weight. No need to be so highly strung about how people choose to loose weight. I eat carbs, I feel crap. I limit intake of carbs to fresh veg and very, very little fruit and all is well with the world. BTW, have a look at this...…

Sarcasm.

What is it with some people? No, of course I've never logged my calories, and I don't understand the article I've posted...

You know what? The info and the science is out there. Go read it. It's not hard to find. Google tips Prof Tim Noakes Butter makes your pants fall off Aseem Malhotra Dietdoctor Keto resource Ruled.me

You'd think so wouldn't you? But no, I wasn't, I am not, just eating for maintenance. In fact, I probably consume more calories now tha I did a year ago, I was 86kg. I walked a heck of a lot, playing football, swimming. I'm much less active now. Have a read of this article.…

Yesterday we bbq'd. Thundering amounts of meat. Some salad and meat!!

Erm, I don't eat at a deficit. I lost weight, well used some of the fat store I have. I cut carbs - bread, pasta and root veg. Increased fat intake to 70%. Moderate protein at 20% and low carbs 10%.

Ok.

I am mocked by my wife, she says I'm a carbophobe. She even put a potato in my bag when I went to stay a night at my parents. I was in another city going on a birthday do. Problem was I was so ill from gastroenteritis I didn't see the thing until I got home. She struggles with weight, and doesn't eat as much pasta, but…

I prefer farm made to lab made.

Essentially you're agreeing with what I said. You don't need sugar, your liver will make up the short fall. So nobody needs to eat sugar, or carbs. They are not an essential macro. I suggest you google Prof Tim Noakes. As for the fat - "it does not trigger the hormonal dance that creates fat storage the way that sugar and…

Here is a quick thought. Look at the ingredients of 'low fat' cheese and look at the ingredients of proper cheese. I think there are about 50 more ingredients in low fat. That can't be right.

In the first instance, you are. Your body does not need sugar. You can live quite happily without any carbs at all, or sugar. There was a guy, he weighed a tremendous amount, about 320lb. Under control he was starved for 13 months, given water and nothing else. He used his fat reserve to survive and lost about half his…

Er, why? About 30% of my diet is cheese and I lost 10lbs in 5 weeks without trying.

Someone said the body needs sugar, and stated it as a fact - that's wrong, and potentially dangerous. What are the causes of obesity diseases? A high resistance to insulin. You continue to abuse sugar and you will succumb to diabetes and other metabolic issues. I have a mate, he's a relatively slim lad. At 22 he was…

I had it for a while, then came out in the worst infection of athletes foot. Blisters on the bottom of my foot that were too damn painful to scratch. The doc prescribed some cream and it was gone after a week and a half. I'd been struggling for nearly a year with reoccurrence.
