Low carb high fat (LCHF) diet

Also I have pernicious anaemia and have found Martyn Hooper s book on the subject really helpful as is very accessible info . So now I am looking

Today for lunch, I had tuna mixed with hummus, 3 stuffed grape leaves and some chips that had lots of protein in them. It was a very low carb. meal (37 total carbs.). Very good!:-)

I've been jonesing for bread and butter for a while. I went low carb early December, and have only had bread once since, on Christmas day. I have been having lucid dreams about eating slice after slice thickly buttered white bloomer doorsteps. The dreams have been nearly erotic. Previously I had pooh-poohed

Hi, I am from the US and I know this is a UK forum, but there seems to be some really good information on here. I’ve been trying to get to the bottom of some health issues that have been plaguing me for the last year. I went on a very strict low carb diet for about a year and a half and felt amazing

Well something to cheer me up, today I reached my target of 10st. I was 10st. 10 just before Christmas and back then I couldn't believe i would manage it. But thanks to LCHF and the support of you folks, I've done it. My BMI is 24.7. However, after looking in the mirror, I've decided to keep going

After some more tests they told me that I had fatty liver on a ultrasound , but do to additional tests my Gastrologist told me NASH was the final diagnosis. She is checking for fibrosis or

We've added low carb to our intermittent fasting as already stated some 3 weeks back. I weighed myself this morning and have lost .3kg. I know PMRpro posted in response to a previous post about the steroid effect and only vaguely understood it. Last night whilst not being able to sleep I used Carb

Is there anything else I can do to halt my disease progression? My current GFR is 86 and I'm just trying to stop this thing before it gets out-of-hand.

Have been attempting to do this (more, it's our norm for much of the week) in the last week but have failed. Daughter is moving house today and our services were needed on 2 days.. (If she got sick I would go and care for her, always a mum). So, today is Day 1 and I've already gone back on my idea

Hi guys, it's been a little over a month that I started a low carb diet but no significant weight loss up to now. I have cheated several times by eating pastries or fries but on the whole I have maintained the low carb diet. Now after one month I simply feel like giving up but I know I will feel worse

I've been reading a lot about the connection between hypothyroidism in weight gain and obesity. It's long been believed that hypothyroidism causes/contributes to obesity because of the metabolic effects of same, but there seems to be more research being done that questions that theory and now some researchers

My son and family which includes 2 grandkids, left on Saturday after a week's visit. I cooked (and baked!!) to get the meals in the freezer, I baked a yummy cake and made a couple of puds. I was determined not to fall off the wagon (apart from going to the ice cream shop/café where the ice creams are
