Thanks a lot: Kira from Costa Rica

Kira, go to this page on Dr. Dahlqvist’s web site for more information on the diet she uses.

i have a lot of friends and people i know that are helped by lchf. they have lost weight and they all tell stories about serious health problems getting much better or are gone. just by changing food.

unfortenately not every man and woman on earth is helped by lchf.
i don´t want to sound like i´m against lchf. because i´m not.

i just bought dr eenfeld´s latest book about lchf and diabetes to my daughter. because i now, lchf will help her.

but lchf can´t help me. i have hashimoto. and get sick when i eat lchf. i feel better eating “the old way”. lots and lots of vegs, meat, fruit and some carbs like wheat and potatoes.

Michael McGuckian posted a comment above; and I absolutely agree with your comment, Jimmy:

But you have to admit, that statement got people’s attention, Michael. And that, I think, was the ultimate point that Dr. Dahlqvist was trying to make. –Jimmy

Ofcource everyone will die at some point. Question is – would we like to die before we “should” die – or would we like to live a few years longer – and in the meantime be healthy and be able to enjoy our lives?

Since the food industry and the medical industry are so well incorporated with each other (they even own each other!) and the lobbying they can do, and the impact they have with large amount of money – the right way is not to be polite and polictical correct!

We really need someone like Dr. Dahlqvist (and others!) to stand up against the “industry” that wants us to eat our selves sick and then stop us full of medicines…!

Maybe low-carb is awakening the warrior in Dr. Dahlqvist . . .

LOL! That’s pretty good, Dave. Dr. Dahlqvist is indeed a low-carb warrior!

First of all, I think Dr. Dahlqvist has done a remarkable job. Without her we wouldn’t be where we are today, with debates and media etc.
And her behaviour and attitude is very un-swedish – to oppose the “establishment and their rules” without apologising for it!
Actually, that goes for the whole LCHF-movement… We’ve stopped apologising for saying that we feel great and we lose weight by changing diet. Very un-swedish that so many people have stopped listening to the authorities and started listening to our own bodies.

Rosengren says ” am always a little worried when people are so sure of themselves and have no research to support what they are saying. Because I looked at your web site and to the publications you referred me to and there were a few studies that looked at the relationship between saturated fat and heart disease, but there was not a single critical study. ”

And the same can be said for herself and the official guidelines, that everyone believe is the single truth.
Where are the studies that show that by eating natural fats you get heart disease? I’ve seen a few studies that basically tells us nothing. They’re all speculation, because sausages and junk food aren’t LCHF.
If you get sick by eating at McD’s you can’t say that it’s because you’ve eaten a lot of meat, can you? BTW what meat? Do hamburgers really contain meat nowadays?
