Low carb high fat (LCHF) diet

What I mean is having only just started my lchf journey, and have been feeling a bit done in , though much better now. What’s the thinking around exercise, is there a link to something I can read?

Tonight for dinner, I went out to a deli near my home. I had a Flank Steak Salad. It had cut up steak pieces, cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, lettuce and carrots, purple cabbage and Vinaigrette Raspberry dressing. It’s a very low carb and high protein meal. Next time I have it again, I will try to get

A friend of mine was diagnosed with elevated (48) A1c back in November 2018. He was asked to repeat the test in 3 months’ time. He got his 2nd results back a few days ago and his A1c is now 41. Obviously, he is pleased with his efforts, I am just flabbergasted to see this amazing drop, did not think

I am currently reading 'Eat rich Live Long' by Cummins and Gerber MD. It is a fascinating book that borders on being a full blown medical textbook in that it provides the most lucid explanation I have seen about the devastating effects of eating sugar on the human body, what it does to the bodies systems

A 20ml metal ball found in my abdomen, not digestive track. This was found 2 weeks ago in an MRI. They had to stop MRI obviously and they took xrays later. Hmmm I think someone has forgotten something in DIEP flap surgery. Could this have hindered my health? Who knows eh? Sure didn't help it. That's

I have dillied and dallied.....weed on sticks......”lost weight.....got frightened about fibre Not eaten enough....starvation mode...... More dilly and dally! I love Lchf I also want a piece of toast and fruit now and again; not to mention the odd lentil. All of which obviously would jack carbs up

I am a 48 year old very active health conscious woman. I found out I had CKD almost a year ago. Still not sure what's causing it. Have an appointment with a new Dr. Feb 12th. My Gfr was pretty steady at 44 and the last 3 months has been declining 4 points per month. It's 32 as of my last test. For

I have just read that a gluten-free diet can help with the symptoms of endometriosis? Does anyone know how true this is? Thanks xxx

Someone raised the subject of palm oil - good or bad? - in the LCHF forum, and I thought there might be some general interest in the subject. Palm oil makes the news occasionally because it's associated with rainforest destruction and "unhealthy fats" (saturated fat). As with most things, these issues

I know 12lbs wasn't a big target. Never having been on a weight loss diet before I had no idea how it would go. But in just four weeks I managed to lose 12 1/2lbs. I haven't quite lost the couple of inches around my waist - nearly, not quite. But following this plan and receiving the fantastic comments

Last night we went out with friends and they chose All Bar One in Oxford. They had a voucher for the chain that expired yesterday, so All Bar One was it. I knew that I would be reasonably okay at AllBarOne because I have found vegan options at their airport outlets - and that was a year or two ago.

I recently had a gastroscopy the results are inflammation at the top and bottom and erosion at the bottom of the stomach. I have Hypothyroidism and Pernicious anaemia. I have arthritis, very sore and painful joints and stomach. I am going to try a gluten free diet. Any advice please.

Since the subject comes up occasionally in regard to LCHF, the video in this post might be of interest. It discusses the actual science behind the assertion that red meat causes cancer: https://healthunlocked.com/healthyeating/posts/139924102/red-meat-is-worse-than-smoking

Morning peeps. I'm a bit please today. Lost 4 1/2lbs this week. Three weeks in and I have just 1 1/2lbs to lose to make it the 12lbs I intend and another 1/2 inch and I'll be back to my handsome self - with a bag over my head, obviously! It is incredible to me. Never been on a weight loss diet before

Hi, just joined. I am 73 and had a heart attack 2 months ago. Had emergency stent fitted to blocked artery. Was advised low salt, low sugar and low fat diet. Embraced this wholeheartedly and have lost 7 Ks. Just had blood test and Cloresterol gone down from 5.2 to 3.1. Then found that I am just within

I had morning tea at a friend’s place and she’d bought us a treat. Gluten free, low sugar, low carb, natural ingredients. What more could a girl want? Delicious too. I’ll have to see what else this bakery sells. I’m sure there are similar bakeries in other parts of the world.

For the past year or so I've become bloated 24 hours a day. So much that trying to button pants or wear belts cause great pain. I have a constant, dull pain all the time. If I even rest my hands or arms on my stomach it becomes very uncomfortable. I've had my gall bladder removed to no avail. I was

hi there, looking for low carb diet recipies that are quick and easy for one person, any links or suggestions?

Does anyone still follow the old assumption that a low-fat diet can aid in normalizing VLCFA levels and thus slow progression?

as they where very high in cholesterol, so I thought the recent 6 was ok and in-line with my reduced physical activity and switch to lchf diet from which the benefits I feel are huge.
