Although I'm not all that hyped up about "loooooow carb" or "hiiiiiiiigh fat" I still tend to eat fewer carbs than I'm supposed to, and increase my "healthy fats" more, usch as olive oil, avocado, fish oil and things of that nature, and boost my protein too. I only eat chicken breast, olive oil, TOOONS of veggies, maybe cottage cheese etc for lunch (or similar)... You don't get fat from fat, but you don't get fat from carbs either, you get fat from excess calories, protein, carbs or fat doesn't matter. Eating balanced and keeping the refined foods out is best in my opinion. Like good piece of lean protein, veggies, good carb such as brown rice or whatever and some olive oil is great :) I don't know if this counts as "low card high fat" or not, but if it does then I'm def in favor of it.. haha. I tend to burn my calories through exercise instead (I've got time, lol) Nice posts about LCHF.

He refused to eat bakery during a tv-interview but politely said that he would happily add some cream in his coffe instead. ;) http://www.bjornferry.com/ Well… something might worth knowing is the fact that Björn Ferry, The Swedish Olympic Winner in biathlon is on a strict LCHF-diet.

Do you have a link to it? Could they possibly have ditched the article because it conflicts with their view of the world so strongly? I ran a marathon about 6 years ago, training with the National AIDS Marathon Training Program, in San Francisco, to raise funds. The training table at the end of each weekly group long run was always stocked with sugary junk food. I was reading about low carb then and trying to incorporate it, but it was really swimming against the current of nutritional thinking in distance running circles, that's for sure. Thanks for this post. I gave you a boost on my little blog when I wrote about Paleo/Primal and low carb recently. Keep up the good work! I love your podcasts. <i>Thank you so much for your support, Jeanmarie!

Me and my fiancée are livin' la vida low-carb since mid-july of 2008, and we're very excited about our results. We have both been able to cut down alot on our sleeping medication, anxiety pills, and generally feeling alot happier. No crazy bloodsugar rushes up or down to make us feel weird or queasy and constantly wanting to eat sugary stuffs. Me, being a diabetic and very overweight, I have been able to trim down my insulin dosages to half of what I used to take, and both longterm bloodsugar (Hba1C) and blood pressure are considerably lower. I have also been able to loose 25 pounds in the last 2½ month only, now that my body has recovered totally from previous diet-attempts. I have also stopped being an over-eater, as have the fiancée. For us, the monthly food-budget also dropped about 400SEK / month (about 45 dollars) just because we didn't need all the candy, flour-stuff, juices, and ice-cream anymore. Thanks for the input on swedish LCHF'ing. I'm trying constantly (not preaching, just telling) to make friends that are addicted to sugar to at least TRY it for a few weeks, so that they at least loose the addiction, and every post in the matter counts! Best Wishes Helene and Jesper , Stockholm Sweden. Hi Jimmy and thanks for a great blog!
