Really want a Woosh!
So after a great 25 lb loss I am stuck, I am keeping to a strict LCHF diet, my ketostix show purple, and each morning no progress, I am bouncing around 197 - 198. I have read that the fat cells could be filling up with water and if you stick with the LCHF long enough the fat cells will empty the water and thus the Woosh.…

How to adjust an LCHF once goal is met?
Ok, I may be jumping the gun but I am over half way to my ideal weight, but was wondering how you may have adjusted from losing weight to going into maintain mode.

Not liking this LCHF Diet, no sir...

Butter & Other Fats
I am relatively new to the LCHF diet, I totally understand that we have to increase our fat intake to compensate for the low carbs in our diets and many many video, posts, talk about how you have to increase and add natural butter for a source of the fat. Maybe a real stupid question but can I replace the butter source and…

To Fast or Not to Fast (& when) that is my question...
My body is probably saying "what the..." I read something new (most from you guys on this community) and I am incorporating. LCHF, great recipie ideas, macro nutrient %'s etc.... Now I read about fasting. Do you fast and what are your results? I am thinking about the 16:8 fast. My twist (I read most fasters skip breakfast)…

Just began a LC2HF Diet and it's working!
Never heard of LC2HF? Ok, I made it up. I was on a Low Cal diet and it worked ok, but once I started a Low Carb Low Calorie High Fat diet, man did I start to see results. I am in a Biggest Loser contest at work and I want to crush it. So for the next three weeks I will keep the calories set at 1,250 with a 60% fat, 10%…
