Good post, good info. So tell us more about your personal situation. Were you fat - etc. Also, where do you get your recipes - can you suggest a site or post some recipes? Tell us a typical day's meals for you. What do you consider low carb? (how many carbs per day?) Do you do anything else - like fast or intermittent fasting? Do you exercise or lift weights. Give us the 411. Thanks.
I can give you some info about a fat based diet. It takes 2 to 3 days for your body to go into what's called ketosis if you cut out carbs and sugar. To get into and maintain ketosis you have to keep your net carbs approximately under 25 G a day. This varies based off age, height and body weight.
Once your body is in a state of ketosis not only will you feel less hungry because the fat actually fills you up and gives you longer more sustainable energy but you will also start dropping weight like crazy.
I've lost over 60 lb in a year eating steaks and bacon and other meats and green vegetables and avocados and lots of lots of butter.
Also once you're in ketosis you'll feel more energetic, have less brain fog, certain health problems can practically disappear, and a lot of achy joints and muscle seem to just vanish.
There's a little bit more to it than just that brief summary but there's tons of books and websites and subreddits that you can go and learn the do's and don'ts. There's tons of fantastic keto products out there now like bread, noodles, cereal, and candy so you can still enjoy many things that weren't traditionally keto.
Thank you, fren. It was good of you to elaborate so much. Wow! I can't believe the response you've gotten. That's great! Shows people are really interested in the subject.
And yes, this helped. At first I thought you might have been a pudge-pot looking to get into shape. it's interesting that you don't even work out. I am fascinated by the idea that this carnivore style of eating seems to satisfy so fully. I like meat and often crave protein. But I really love vegs too and it's hard to imagine leaving them behind. But you are not the only one who has said it can be done. I may give this a try and see if it helps with some issues. And I have never even heard of A2. I checked it out and found it interesting. I will see if it's available in my area.
I hope you don't mind two follow up questions. Answer at your convenience. Do
you pay much attention to the RATIO of fat to protein that you eat in a day or at each meal? Or do you just dig in? I think I've heard you're supposed to eat a higher percentage of your meals in fats. And you mentioned eating fatty steaks.
Just curious how you prepare them? Do you mostly pan fry them? Thanks again very much. Have a great weekend.
Wow, thanks again. I might look into that Brevill. I like the idea of heating a small oven. That and Saladino's book.
I'm glad you posted this original topic and I'm glad this style of eating is working so successfully for you. It's good of you to share and try to help other people, especially frens.

Well that's great. Good for you. Thanks for your input. More energy would be fantastic.
Read Dr Jason Fungs book on Intermittent Fasting. (The Complete Guide to Fasting by Dr Jason Fung)
Watch Dr Berg on Youtube. Thomas DeLauer is good too, but he is a bit scattered with his information from video to video. Dr Berg is a must.
Thanks, I've heard of Dr. Fung and I know someone who likes Thomas DeLauer, too. Will heck them out.
Okay, thanks.
