non carb diet

[Creamola Foam]

ever tried to stop eating carbs??? Been told its a good way to lose a bit of belly and i have plenty spare...but fuck me everything i like is bloody carbs

[rollup]

I'm on a permanent low carb high fat diet and have lost three stones over about four months.
I've now reintroduced some carbs to maintain the weight or I'll waste away!
My surgery are amazed and really can't get their heads around the fact I have now almost reversed my diabetes eating this way.
It can be a bit of a challenge at first but it isn't really difficult and you can eat as much grub as you like almost.
Anyone wondering what it's about can find a good start here ... read all the way down ...

The high fat bit is a little misleading.
I don't sit here eating lard.
It should be considered normal fat.
Low fat no fat semi skimmed skimmed etc are industrial products and when the fat is taken out the flavour goes with it so sugar usually replaces it.
Fat doesn't make you fat sugar makes you fat and carbs that turn to sugar rapidly inside you.
Before foods became an industrial product fat was in everyone's diet ... butter cream milk yoghurt etc were all natural and full of fat.
Now they remove the fat ... that makes it an industrially altered food ... not natural.
Fat fills you up stops you being hungry.
When I was a kid no mother and housewife would throw away the fat in the roasting pan ... it would go on bread as dripping butties nicely salted.
There was little if any obesity.
So eat full fat foods.
Another side effect is my bad cholesterol has gone down good cholesterol has gone up ... no medication for that.
My blood pressure has gone down so has the medication.
Within the next three months I'll be ditching the diabetic medication and the blood pressure medication.
Low carbs high fat ... seriously healthy way to live.

I missed bread when I first started this.
This kind of diet though means I can have large trucker type fry ups ... with fried bread.
The fat slows down the conversion to glucose.
The word diet doesn't sit right with me because the way people do diets these days mean temporary as a rule and this isn't .... it's a permanent lifestyle change.

Beer is considered liquid bread.
I miss best bitter but I've swapped it for red wine vodka whiskey so no problems with the alcohol.
The best being vodka with a teeny weeny splash of ribena.
By the way no carbs is impossible cos there's carbs in almost everything so think low carbs not no carbs.
Breakfast cereals had to go as they are almost pure carbs.
I've discovered I can have porridge which I love ... so long as I bung some fat in it so I put a large tablespoon of coconut oil in it.
I eat a jar of the stuff a week.
Not the cheap KTC stuff.
Tesco do a virgin triple filtered one around a fiver a jar.
This isn't the Atkins diet no bad breath and everyone I know doing this gets to feel healthy and energetic.

Lots of eggs are good.
Nuts.
Polish sausages for snacks (like pepperami) and pork scratchings ... I've discovered the tastiest and the least likely to break your teeth are the cheapest ones in multi packs home bargains.
Veg ... raw cooked fried boiled steamed whatever.
Having say some pork or fish I'll have it with steamed veg dripping in butter or covered in grilled cheese.
Baby bells for snacks.
