Low Carb High Fat

I have been gluten free since 2011/2012 due to the unpleasant side effects that happen when I ingest it and when I was actively losing weight I tried to avoid foods that were highly carby.  But I didn’t really pay that much attention to the ratio’s between fat;protein;carbs.  Last year I gave the Whole30 program a go last year and lost 3kgs in the four weeks, I found it very restrictive however and put the weight back on over Christmas/New Year period plus some.

I had been feeling particularly crap in the first couple of months of 2016 with cold and illness that didn’t seem to go away and finally I got sick of it – figuring the amount of carbs and refined sugar I was ingesting was playing havoc with the hormones and thereby the immune system.  So I decided to give up the refined sugar, the white carbs (pasta, bread, rice, oats), and white potatoes and give Low Carb High Fat a go.  I have been slowly inching my way in – I know from experience if I jumped in whole hog I would get quite obsessive about it all and that’s never a good thing.

So since the beginning of May I have been trying to eat clean and for the most part I think I have been doing well 3kgs and a few cms down around the w:h:b.  I have decided to tighten it up the carbs a bit – not no carbs just no refined carbs, no grains, very few carbs from fruit and no starchy vege i.e. nothing that grows under the ground.  So far so good – feeling much better haven’t been getting sick, and sleeping better and the scales are going in the right direction and jeans are fitting better!
