If you want to be thin and stay thin (and avoid Metabolic Syndrome), then you have to eat high fat

Such a great thread, one for the GLP HALL OF FAME.

I agree.it changed my thinking.

holiday's over, back to this routine to get the extra fat off again :)

This thread just might be the most important thing you'll ever read!

I bought some avocado oil. I have the coconut oil. Is the Avocado oil a good oil for this diet??

Avoid sugar if you want Metabolic Syndrome.

Carbs don´t make you fat, fat does.

Wrong! Read the thread!

for holidays!

for those who want to know, the bee stung arse is at 10:00

I also bought some avocado oil yesterday. I wonder if its just as good as coconut oil? Anyone have the answer to this?

I am deeply indebted to Scorpion and GLP for this information. Since beginning the diet 2 years ago, my life is vastly changed for the better. Energy is much better, no afternoon drowsiness, I've lost weight (which I'd given up as impossible) and I'm calmer and happier. The only things I've kept are coffee, chocolate, and a rare glass of red wine. No question this is the way to go.

To ac. Congrats to you. 4 yrs. next month for me. This is not just a diet, it is a way of eating for life. Can't even count the ways this diet has improved my overall health.

Plus, this information, which seemed controversial to many, has exploded onto the mainstream media. I see stuff almost every day that is confirming the info contained in this thread.

So true! I only wish I had known this YEARS ago! You can gain nothing but good from the information in this thread. Skeptical? TRY it for YOURSELF, that's the best way.

Spread the word!

ity again!

Enjoy your holiday, folks, then give this way of eating a try. You will truly have something to be thankful for by next Thanksgiving!

I've been low-carbing for a couple of years. I'm currently down now to only 14 pounds from my goal. This is partly due to starting this diet 2 days ago and now having lost another 2 pounds! Maybe this will break the stall that I've been on for quite awhile now. Yesterday I had a high fat meal and never felt hungry for several hours. I felt I had to force myself to eat! I hope this keeps up!

Good for you! Keep at it, you'll see results for sure!

ing again...have a Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

I hope everyone had a Happy Thanksgiving. Here's to many more!

Bumping the thread for those of you who are looking for relief from yesterday's feast! And bumping the thread for anyone interested in improving their health & overall well-being, in a sensible and sustainable way. You can gain nothing but good from the information in this thread. Do read it for yourselves.

Holidays are over, time to get back in shape!

hi R!

Been following your posts since the beginning.

Yes indeed, time to get back in shape!

Me too! Time to get serious! Swim-suit season is not that far off!

It does bring on a detox, and if you change pretty radically, embedded toxins will flush out quicker, making you feel sick, like the flu, and can bring on acne outbreaks for sure. That stuff will pass, though it may take a while. The bright side of this is your body is signaling that something is happening! You are cleansing out your insides successfully! KEEP GOING! YAY, YOU!!!

Great topic, has helped me a lot so far!

Just a question - I would like to gain overall weight, muscle, and lose some belly fat (being thin but still building up belly fat really really sucks). At the moment, I am (like OP describes) eating mostly fat, a lot of proteins and little carbs (mostly nuts, vegetables etc.)), will that help me in the long run with my goal? I'm kind of afraid to lose muscle while exercising, mainly because I see a lot of people strongly recommending eating carbs before exercise for glycogen synthesis. Any advice on this?

So amazed that people are still posting to this thread.

Hope you are all well. Still on the plan, with the odd slip, but now 6 years and going strong.

Still the best way to lose weight and keep it off, actually the only way ... it has truly saved my life!

Be nice to hear from some old friends on here :)

Want to reduce weight, cut out refined sugar. It's poison for the body and will contribute to weight gain in a big way. Lose the sweet tooth.

Actually sugar and carbs are the same damn thing. Doesn't matter whether refined, low Gi, whole, or whatever crap name they come up for it.

It is all about Glucose and Fructose - sugar is 50/50.

Starch becomes glucose within a few minutes in the body.

Glucose is bad, Fructose is worse.

If you want a slow, dragged out, painful death then by all means follow the advice of the Government, nicely written up for them by a bunch of scientists paid huge research grants by pharmaceutical companies who clean up on your misery and pain.

I have tried to warn people, but I am no angel. I have 30% of my pension plan invested in pharmaceutical company shares. Last year they grew 30%. Year on year they are over 20%.

I can warn people, but I know they would rather listen to the "experts". Oh well, I may as well have a comfortable, as well as healthy, retirement if the sheep won't listen and won't see the evidence of their own eyes.

Oh well ..........
