Strict Low Carb High Fat

As an Ambassador for LCHF I have to make a post about my experience.
For those who do not know what this lifestyle is , I leave any explanation to Wikipedia
As the cookie monster I used to be, I could buy a handful of boxes just to eat in one night.
For the last six months when I have been on a strict diet I haven't had any urge for candy, cookies or any sweet thing.



Every poker player and sports athlete are depending on their ability to put up a good performance,
Since i changed my diet, my ability to perform at the tables have increased and I would recommend any poker player to try this diet if they are looking to gain a bigger edge in their game.


What does 150 eggs, 4,5 kg bacon and 1kg cheese to breakfast/month do for your performance?

One great thing is that it can go longer time between my meals and during this time my ability to think and reason is at a constant high level. When i start to get hungry my ability to perform is not as weakened as it would as if i was eating normal.
This is great when the tables are good and you really do not want to leave, and since my blood sugar are not rising up and down as much I can eat a big meal and not feel tired afterwards.
If I were on a normal diet I would be tired if i hadn't eaten in a while an suddenly ate a big meal. So basically i can stay at the tables at longer time and maintain a high level of focus.

For the last couple of months I haven't been physicaly active but somehow I keep on having a relative muscular body compared to how little I work out.


Note that this is just the things I have felt changed during the last couple of months, what is due to my new diet and what is placebo I really do not know. What is clear is that I haven't made any other big changes in my life.

LCHF is great, followed it from time to time myself and felt great, just lazy keeping it up :).. interesting you felt that big difference in concentrating ect, but good! Pokerplayers live normally a very degenerated life sitting infront of a pc or a live table so long hrs, so this diet is a massive good thing to turn into..

I too lived on a high protein, high fat, low carb diet for a period of 4 months. Gained around 6 kg in musclemass while dropping a lot of excess water and bodyfat. Experienced extreme growth, and a very relaxed and focused state of mind. No mood swings, never got tired and started yawning during the day. Overall, it was pretty awesome, too bad it is getting so damn expensive with all the new taxes on fatty foods.... FUUUUUUUUU

@C4Q I am trying to keep a very strict LCHF lifestyle.
In your case I would probably try a LCHF lifestyle that is not so strict , it is easier to keep it up when you are a bit lazy. :)

@tuddiii Nice you had a good experience with a LCHF diet , if you look at your overall performance and happiness its really not that expensive.

Vil sgu egentligt bare lige sige tak , fordi at det faktisk var dig der introducerede med for LCHF. Havde før hørt om High Protein Low Carb, men aldrig praktiseret det..

Synes det er enormt spændende ikke mindst at læse om andre folks erfaringer osv, men især også forskningen inden for LCHF interessere mig. Jeg har siden 1/12 Kørt strict LCHF (under 5 gr. pr. dag.) Dog med undtagelse af 1 enkelt julefrokost inkl. bytur.

Kan tydeligt mærke at jeg kan holde mig kørende længere mellem måltiderne, og har heller ikke humørsvingerne :-D

Dog har der været lidt bøvl med tynd mave :S

Og ved hår fysisk aktivitet kan jeg blive lidt svimmel en gang i mellem, men regner med at kroppen bare lige skal vænne sig til at få energi fra fedtet.


Har du nogle gode links til nedskydning af kolesterol-problematikken i forhold til "kuren/livsstilen"?

Det er typisk det jeg møder når jeg forklarer andre om LCHF: "Uhha nej det er da farligt med alle de transfedtsyrer bla bla..."

Yeah i can recognize that you can get a bit dizzy in the first couple of weeks.
If you are doing sports it might take your body a bit longer time to get used to a new diet.

Headache is also normal.

I really only read one LCHF blog and its www.dietdoctor.com/ (http://www.kostdoktorn.se/)
Since i think he is really good in covering news around the world, if you look at his homepage( on old posts) you can find lot of good links about the newest things about cholesterol.

I seen lot of good home page's but I am in no position to objective say if its good fact or not. You would probably get more from just using Google. But if you insist just say so.

Its really hard to find real good proof that fat is bad for your body.


Hope it works out for you
