Anyone lost a lot of weight managed not to have loose skin?
Since early March I've been determined to lose weight for health (and vanity - have to be honest). Happy with weight loss of over a stone since then (joined LCHF in June). I've lost 4 inches from my waist (was an 'apple') but I can already see fairly loose skin and I still have 3 stone to go and don't

Statin intolerance
Trying hard to take statins after heart bypass. Have managed to get my cholesterol level down to normal without statins and result came back from lab “no further action” but rang my doctor anyway to discuss the fact I should be on them as a precautionary measure . He put me on Ezetimibe 10 mg but no

Hello from newbie
Hi all, fellow RLS sufferer here, for about the last 7-8 years. Been to a couple of GPs who were pretty unsympathetic TBH so I gave up on them and, after much experimentation, I now ‘manage’ the 3-6 bouts a night with magnesium and potassium tablets (as each bout comes on). Doesn’t matter what strength

Diet type map
I used to have a link to a sort of mind map diagram of all the variations of diets with a couple of lines summing up the unique features. For example it would start with Low carb and split into LCHF, Paleo, Keto, Cavemans, Atkins, etc. I can't find it any more, does anyone have a link?

Calories & Exercise?
Hello, I'm very new to LCHF and still doing my research but just wanted to know a bit more from people who have been doing it for a while as I'm looking to lose quite a bit of weight. Does anyone count calories at all? And how regular do people exercise doing LCHF? Also what are peoples experience with

Further update on leg satsuma
Ok? So I went to A&E due to the pain and swelling on my knee. Guess what?? The consultant refused to see me even when I explained that I had difficulty sleeping and the pain level made me feel nauseous at times and referred me back to my GP as they already knew about the problem and should refer me

(Probably) My last entry in the mayo off: Low Carb BLT
No mention of bread in BLT name.... ...nor mayo, but I am not leaving that off. Fresh lettuce leaves (baby gem in this case), cook bacon and then tomatoes in bacon fat. Assemble as shown with mayonnaise, roll up and eat..eat over a plate, it drips. But also it's delicious. After this entry, I am

Keto/low carb?
Hi there! I’m brand new to PMR and prednisone and really want to keep my weight and blood sugars in check. I’ve gleaned from the forums that most people do this with a low carb type diet. To that end, I have joined dietdoctor.com as someone had suggested. They have what looks to be an easy 2 week keto

The LCHF future
What with the world collapsing around our ears, maybe now is a good time to contemplate our post-apocalyptic future. It's become politically fashionable to talk about veganism as the new Heathy Diet; God forbid this should ever happen, because it'll precipitate another apocalypse (involving ecology,

Why do you love this community?
Hi there, I’ve been around this group for nearly 2 months. Have noticed at times it can be a bit confusing with contradictory advice and the “tension” between LCHF, calorie counters, and all the evangelists of different weight loss methods. My question is simply, what do you love about this community

Do you supposed to feel anything for CKD? And what are the symptoms?
Hello everyone I found out I have CKD in the last October with 1.48 creatinine, I met a very unhelpful doctor who just told me to have a low protein diet, and I didn't know what it was so I had to go online googled, then I found out CKD patients shouldn't eat high potassium, high phosphorus, high sodium

Low carb works -slowly but it’s a new way to eat -not a diet it’s a way of life
Hello I’m 9 years post transplant and have gained about 40 pounds after the rejection and second transplant. I’ve lost about twenty after understanding what function the kidney plays un bloating and weight gain. Read up on it to get a new prospective, if your kidney is only sub-working I’m still at stage

LCHF - is it my imagination or .....
Are ‘they’ are now gunning for poor Dr Unwin? I would have thought that anything that Improves the health of the nation by helping you to lose weight, reduce blood sugar and save the NHS a fortune should be praised to the heavens but nope- looks like Dr Unwin is going to become a victim of his own

Low carb cooking
SheffieldJane mentioned a low carb cookbook a few days ago and several people asked for more info. I can’t see a response so wondering if it got lost in the middle of everything else. Since starting on the pred I haven’t eaten any biscuit or cake although I do still eat other carbs (mainly whole grain

Strange Development
Good morning all, it's a lovely day on Englands south coast and the sun is shining. Getting to my question, I need advice please. Newly diagnosed in early May with PMR. Put on Pred 15mg all symptoms and pain disappeared the following day. Felt great and after 3 weeks tapered to 12.5mg. No issues. Further

Film - Fat Fiction - free on Amazon Prime
I couldn't find this posted on here before using the forum search facility. It's a great film that came out this year, all about low carb, reversing diabetes, and the origins of the lies we've been told about fat over the decades. It's full of doctors, professors, researchers, scientists and even nutritionists

Counting and Measuring
The dieticians love telling us to count this, measure that, eat certain portions of A, B and C, and drink X liters of water a day. The underlying assumption is this: your body is a useless, malfunctioning contraption that can't be trusted to feed itself. But this cannot possibly be true. If it were,

Cholesterol
Hi all I’m sure this has been asked before but as a newbie to LCHF I’m afraid I am going to ask. Will this plan not increase my cholesterol? Reason for q I have high cholesterol it is a family trait. After refusing for years at my last face to face with my dr I gave in and started taking statins. Mainly

Unsure about my thyroid
Hello, I am new to this group! My doctor has previously told me that I have a slightly underactive thyroid. This was about two years ago.

LCHF and constipation
I find that eggs milk full fat cream seems to constipate me. Does anyone on this diet have trouble with constipation. Also there is a good site to visit Gutsense.org
