There are a number of really good movies about LCHF eating on You Tube and other sources. Maybe schedule some tube time with them and have them hear it from an outside source.

First, I will admit that I am late to this party and only skimmed my way through to this point. Second I had never heard of moderating protein until I found Diet Doctor. After several good runs at LCHF that eventually stalled and resulted in derailment (which I now attribute in part to gluconeogenesis) I discovered that in…

I had to put my Google fu to work. Very interesting. I had never heard of it.

Good job. Getting started is always the hardest part.

Diet soda definitely sets off my insulin response and triggers cravings, as does any fruit other than blackberries and lemons. Every time I have been successful on LCHF I have always had to completely let go of soda and imitation desert replacements.

I started by finding a couple of hobbies that I enjoy doing. When I feel that stress rather than heading to the kitchen I go participate in my hobbies. That has helped quite a bit as it keeps me busy and changes my focus. Another thing I have begun to do, especially when I am stressed, is exercise. I do not believe…

I am and I have 5 kids. However we have replaced some of the sugar with other things. A coloring book, a small toy, a stuffed animal, costume jewelry, matchbox cars, etc. We still give them some sweets but far less than we did 5 years ago. What sweets we do give them they guard like their lives depend on it. With that many…

The prior poster trying to debunk the article has made me emotional and now I want to go eat something. Thanks a lot. I'm kidding. I am a stress eater and it did not stop until I found other ways to manage stress. Ways that did involve a drive through window or a large container of sugar-based foods. Deep ketosis played a…

I am another pickle juice drinker. My family thinks I'm crazy but it has helped immensely. I also make natural tea (cold) and then add fresh lemon juice and sodium directly to it. The lemon seems to counteract the taste of the salt. Otherwise I will make a cup of chicken or bone broth and add some salted butter to it.

Thanks for the welcome! I am already rocking this weight loss thing. Started out a week ago at 480 lbs and was 457 lbs this morning. I spent my first two days fasting (48 hours straight) and then just ate one low carb high fat meal a day for 4 days in a row. I am going to continue that trend weekly for the time being.

What? This must be the first time ever that someone lost weight and gained it back. :) On the other hand I could be poster boy for that very cycle. If you need a virtual smack in the back, I got a pretty strong hand. Friend request sent!

I have been down this weight loss path a number of times, and more recently decided that the journey was not mine alone to take. That the greatest path to power and success was with me all along but I decided to carry the burden myself anyway. I have spent a lot of time in prayer and scripture, and what I discovered is…

I had those same symptoms on a prior attempted at LCHF. The brain fog was real. I found that drinking a cup of chicken broth with a tbsp of salted butter and taking a magnesium supplement daily cleared it all up. I now also drink pickle juice on a regular basis (which contains sodium, magnesium, and potassium).
