Wow Nancy, those are great results in only 4 weeks. There are some earlier threads on DDF, and Marty Kendall's Optimizing Nutrition, but they are under the Diabetes and Semi-Low Carb forums, where few people bother to read. I would suggest it is very helpful to all to have this thread on DDF here in General Low Carb.

DDF and The P:E Diet have both worked very well for me to break through a so-called 11 year "stall" on LC/Keto. Now I have lost 75 pounds, 38 of them through DDF in 15 months!!

Of course, it is not just weight loss. With increasing nutrient dense foods, minor annoying health problems are also gone. That can be as simple as making the meals at Dr Naiman's https://www.lowenergydiet.com/Tips.html. Or as complicated as a Nutrient Optimisation Masterclass analyzing 30 + nutrients.

So to add my results for this challenge, it was "only" 3 pounds…but I have now lost 75 pounds in total, at a low 22 BMI, and only 5 pounds above Dr Naiman's strict "ideal" weight calculation. That is 145 pounds for me at 5’9”. At first I thought that crazy to aim for at 70 years old…but now it seems a possibility.

Merely to leave a trail of low carb crumbs:

Thanks again Nancy!
