My best friend has struggled with her weight as long as I've known her. She has tried every diet and exercise program imaginable, except LCHF. She's also been chronically ill as long as I've known her. She's been watching my progress, and I've been sending her videos and articles about it. We went to dinner last week, and she was complaining again about not feeling well. So I challenged her to try LCHF for 2 weeks.
Yesterday, I got a phone call from her, thanking me profusely for educating her. She took me up on the challenge, and just gushed about how GOOD she feels! In just a week, she's dropped a couple of pounds, her energy is through the roof, her depression has lifted, her mind fog has cleared , and she feels younger and happier. And, in spite of being a sugar addict, she told me she's not had any cravings at all. I'm SO happy for her!
Have a great week, FS buddies!

That's awesome, it's always easier (or less hard) to balance your diet with a friend to help, you and her following the same plan will make be good for you two.

@bma1964 LCHF stands for Low Carb-High Fat.

That's exactly how I felt the first time I had some success with LCHF. Euphoric! Energetic. It's truly amazing.

@Vegas101: LCHF is low carb, high fat. It basically incorporates similar principles to Atkins. It is also a commonly recommended dietary lifestyle for people susceptible to sugar isses (i.e. diabetes). While I am not a diabetic, I have been living an LCHF based lifestyle for 7 months, and have lost 135 lbs. By getting off carbs and sugar, you don't suffer hunger pains, and don't have cyclic energy crashes after eating meals. You stay away from sweeteners, starches, root veggies, and grains. Eat meat and low sugar veggies, and really nothing out of a box. Target eating omega 3 fats as well to balance out the omega 6s.

Thanks Y'all. I'm just deliriously happy that she's already seeing the health results. She's throwing a huge Halloween party next year at an old funeral-home -turned-hotel. We both want to be fabulous for it! She did one there a couple of years ago, and it was AMAZING!
