Default Hello

Hello, everyone!

I just started eating low carb high fat. My reasons are more than weight loss, my mother is pre-diabetic and has heart disease and I don't want to go there. I eat way to much processed sugar, I get loads of cravings for carbs. I gained all my extra weight during my pregnancies...my youngest is one. I have about 40+ pounds to loose, although I would be satisfied losing a little less. I lost 30 pounds (did not reach goal weight) after my previous pregnancy by intermittent fasting and two moderate to high intensity fitness classes a week. I ate whatever I wanted, including lots of sugar. This time I am trying low carb, hopefully some sort of fasting, and walking as frequently as I can. I really need the support, so I am grateful for this forum.

Hi unicorn
Nice to meet you. I have found that intermittent fasting and low carb go really well together because your appetite isn't raging all the time from cravings. I wish you all the best!

AHhhh, I too started LCing as it was the only"diet" where I was not hungry....but my primary interest was good health, rather than purely weight loss.

I like that I can have good blood test numbers and good activity level despite being overweight.....to keep the spectre of cancer, dementia and diabetes and so many more, at bay.

Good health is a great reason to stay LC.

See you around the board.
