Many years ago I put on over a stone in weight when I gave up smoking - never took at up again once I quit. However I had a hell of a job getting rid of the weight - I have got down to my goal so many times and then put it back on because I couldn’t starve forever - tried calorie control until I starved - tried low fat - starved on that and put on heaps of weight in the end - but over the years have whittled that away - I walk a lot - but still couldn’t get down to my goal - and keep it off. Then at the beginning of the year when I was looking at yet another try at the low fat starvation thing a voice in my head said "The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and getting the same result” So I had a whole heap of diet mags that I had keep and every free minute I would go through them – thinking I must be missing something – not a word about low carb. Then I found my first breakthrough – eggs were OK to eat – I still had that old thing about only 2 a week. So I started eating eggs – no bread – no flour etc and I started to lose weight and I wasn’t going hungry. Mmmmmmmmm I thought what is this so I googled – eat fill you up and you can lose weight and I found Jimmy’s blog about eggs. I had heard about Atkins before but it had such bad press here – Australia I was convinced it was a sham. A few years back a government funded body the C.S.I.O.R. did a lot of research and published a book on low carb as the best way to lose weight – the press was terrible – still is – even the government stepped in to put it down. But I had reached the end of the line with starvation so I read Jimmy’s site and read the Atkins book the next week. The first week I nearly cried with joy – I wasn’t going to bed hungry – and after the first few days I started to feel great. It is so easy to follow – I can now go out with friends for a meal and order food instead of a side salad – I order a nice steak or pork chop with salad and eat all the fat – feel so full I wouldn’t even want desert. I am losing weight, feeling great and this is going to be for the rest of my life. Apart from the fact that the low fat rubbish didn’t work it was hard to go out for a meal – unless you order salad – and I have always loved my meat – fat and all – now I enjoy my salads with the low carb full oil mayo – or I make my own with olive oil – I just love olive oil – boy have I missed it all these years. And don’t even get me started about cheese – full cream cheese – oh boy ! PS I have been looking at all the low carb products you have over there - we only have a hand full here - hope we catch up one day - mailing cost would be prohibitive al the way here for me.

It seems "counterintuitive" that plenty of fat in the diet is good for you. Yet that's a basic intuition, not just for robust health, but for survival itself. Throughout the history of the human race, we have understood this. It's shocking and dismaying that, over just a few decades, we've been convinced otherwise. And on the skimpiest, most questionable and unreproduceable scientific grounds. The unfortunate hungry dieter was most likely suffering from a formerly well-known condition called "rabbit starvation." The name was given by forest peoples who had nothing to eat but rabbits during parts of the year. Rabbits are extremely lean, so for stretches the diets would consist of virtually nothing but protein. Even though there were plenty of rabbits to eat, ravenous hunger, sickness and starvation -- death, if it kept up long enough -- would result. Wikipedia has an entry on the topic. There's also an extremely interesting post about it, relating it to Kimkins and to the findings of Steffanson during his Arctic explorations and life with the Inuit here: http://pinchof.blogspot.com/2007/09/low-fat-side-of-vlc-dieting-rabbit.html It’s tragic that our brainwashing against dietary fat has been so deep and so effective.

There are so many different foods you can eat on a low-carb diet that is seems impossible to ever feel hunger. I use lots of low-carb products from netrition.com and they taste EXCELENT! I also feel much better when I drink plenty of water. So far I have lost 16 pounds in about 2 months and I feel wonderful. “I’m Hungry,” is definitely a phrase I don’t use anymore.

I just had to stop by and say a big THANK YOU for this informational, uplifting site. I have recently started the Lo-Carb way of life, again. I did it a year ago, but after stopping it, gained alot back. This time, I am going at it with a different outlook. It's going to be a "way of my life" forever......not a "diet". I really feel this will change the whole approach. You podcasts are sure going to be a big part and again, thank you!! Dawn/Ohio Jimmy,

A few minutes with your blog everyday and then your podcast while I'm on the treadmill puts my mind in the right place. I"ve been LivingLaVidaLowCarb since August 4, 1999, of course, we didn't call it that back then. I never let myself be hungry. I lost my weight in a few months time and have maintained it (give or take 10 lbs.) ever since. It's not willpower for me..... basically........ it's just plain vanity. I want to look good and when I live this way.....then I look seriously good! I'm never changing my healthy lifestyle! Also, thank you commenters for the Chocolate Recipes.....I need this in my life!

Really helpful information! I copied down the high-fat snack ideas, too, from you readers. South Beach, I find is a little afraid of fat, so I'll keep your advice in mind when the "hungrys" come on. I still have 10 more pounds to lose and it seems to be the hardest. Also, I have to get Kimmer's diet out of my brain and not be afraid of the calories in fat. Hi Jimmy

PERFECT!!! Your recipe looks yummy, but be careful of regular peanut butter. It contains LOTS of sugar, so choose lower-sugar/carb versions like Naturally More. Happy to be back, Cathy, and giving you some advice to help you right away. :D Excellent questions, Taiwan girl. GREAT sources of dietary fat in addition to what you mentioned are coconut oil, macadamia nuts, almonds, butter, avocado oil, full-fat meats, and so much more! Don't be afraid to increase your fat intake if your carbohydrates are reduced. You got it, Carl! When you eat healthy like on low-carb, everything gets back to normal again. WAY TO GO!!! WELCOME, Steph! Keep reading and listening. :D Keep tweaking Tara and I LOVE the way you describe fat. PERFECT!!! Your recipe looks yummy, but be careful of regular peanut butter.

I know from experience that everything you are saying here is true. I, like a lot of people started my diet the first of the year. I have diabetes, self inflicted by consuming High Fructose Corn Syrup for years in the form of sweet drinks. Six years ago I lost 60 pounds on the Atkins diet. I have gained half that back. I have been watching my carbs but cheating. I have found that I can't cheat. A little cheating goes a long way. So I have been on Induction for a little over two weeks. A big part of my diet is fat. I believe and know from my own experience and blood numbers that to eat fat is good for you! I am not and have not been hunger. At times I even have to force myself to eat because I have no appetite. I love fat and eat it and am becoming healthier because of it. Sense eating fat I have been able to stop all my medications for: diabetes ( my blood glucose on Atkins is rediculouslly low), blood pressure and cholesterol! My health numbers are better than ever. The money I save from not having to buy meds I use to by luxery food items like smoked salmon. Thanks and keep up the good work! Howdy Jimmy,

What other low carb fats do you use besides olive oil, heavy cream and cheese? Does peanut butter count? I have a hard time eating peanut butter in moderation! And how about nuts? It's hard for me to think that eating a ton of nuts will help me lose weight, but they do make me feel fuller! I just wonder if their carb count is too high for a LC diet. Hi, Jimmy!

This was helpful advice. It's so easy to only eat small amounts of fat, because that's all I've ever allowed myself to eat in the past. But, in truth, fat seems to be a healthy macronutrient - almost a food group of it's own! I also happen to have protein-sensetive hypoglycemia (I'm pretty much hypo all the time anyway) and when I have too much protein or have it when I've gotten too hungry, my blood sugar hits rock bottom. Has anyone else experienced this? I have experimented with fats and vinegar, and they have both helped, but it's been a balancing act. I am also in the midst of re-introducing carbs, and it can be confusing. Thanks, Jimmy and all commenters!
This was helpful advice.
It’s so easy to only eat small amounts of fat, because that’s all I’ve ever allowed myself to eat in the past.
But, in truth, fat seems to be a healthy macronutrient - almost a food group of it’s own!
I also happen to have protein-sensetive hypoglycemia (I’m pretty much hypo all the time anyway) and when I have too much protein or have it when I’ve gotten too hungry, my blood sugar hits rock bottom.
Has anyone else experienced this?
I have experimented with fats and vinegar, and they have both helped, but it’s been a balancing act.

That's what I tell people who crave sweets/carbs is to EAT MORE FAT and the feeling goes away. NEVER hungry either! :) It seems counterproductive, Kay, based on all that we've been told about eating healthy, but fat is an important part of that. Amy welcome and thanks for being here. Stick around a while! :D You're gonna get there, Cathleen, so keep on listening. YO! :P Emily, I can relate--my wife Christine can get away with MANY more carbs than I can eat. Kinda makes ya sick, doesn't it? LOL! THANKS for sharing about my discussion forum, Kevin. It really is full of some of the most loving and caring people in the whole world. Check it out for LOTS of low-carb encouragement. Great point about the fat, Jeri! That’s what I tell people who crave sweets/carbs is to EAT MORE FAT and the feeling goes away.

Fat is so key-it was for me the missing element. I was really cutting the fat too low. When I decided to use full fat versions of mayo, cream, and other dairy products, I was no longer hungry. My husband also loves eating this way! Thanks, Jimmy. Really good show, Jimmy! Fat is so key-it was for me the missing element. I was really cutting the fat too low.

That can't even taste good! When I first started Atkins, I would experience hunger within an hour after eating my dinner (regardless of how much I ate) and found that it was disguised cravings for something sweet. I upped the fat content of the diet at every meal and volume of salad/veggies and found that kept me from experiencing the cravings. It helped greatly. Kept the cravings at bay and me full till breakfast. The more fat I eat, the easier it is to satisfy my hunger. Whenever I feel hungrey shortly after a meal, I realize I haven't had enough fat in the meal itself. There is almost NO fat in her meal plan. That can’t even taste good!

Either you are all over the Internet, or I am just clicking the correct buttons. The timing has been perfect because my questions have been answered before I even type them. Today is the 4the day of the "rest of my life". I've not been hungry once. I'm still a bit short on the water, but keeping on it. Here's a quick cure for chocolate craving if you don't have access to ChocoPerfection: Soften 2 oz cream cheese in microwave. Add 2 T. cocoa and 1 T. Splenda Beat in an egg and 1 tsp of vanilla. Put bowl right in microwave for 1min 23 seconds (not sure why that works; it's my favorite cooking time....123!) :) After cooling a bit, you can top with whipped cream/spl. Be sure to count sweetener as part of days limit. I am in love with this but during induction, using only once. I think I'm legal but refuse to mess up this time. Hey, Jimmy and Christine, I love you guys, Fellow Christian LC for life. Sharon Jimmy,

I saw your BL Challenge page and will be blogging about it soon. It's been VERY busy lately, but I LOVE IT!!! Helping people makes this job totally worth it! Jenny, you are exactly right. Fat becomes your fuel when you reduce carbs. So if you restrict both fat and carbohydrates, then you run into the problems that are associated with dangerous low-calorie diets like <a href=http://lowcarblinks.blogspot.com/2007/06/theme-based-low-carb-links-kimkins.html rel="nofollow">Kimkins</a>. EAT YOUR FAT and you'll never have to worry about hunger or your health. THANKS Shari! I saw your BL Challenge page and will be blogging about it soon. It’s been VERY busy lately, but I LOVE IT!!!

Then I went out and bought DANDER and I realized low fat would not work with low carb. It is so counter intuitive to those of us who have bought into the fat is bad mantra to break free from it. But I definitely find I am much happier eating fat and have been much more successful at making this a way of life rather than a temporary fix. I was so guilty of trying to do lc with lf at first.
