Yes, I’m braking for bacon! I’ve been on this Ideal Protein diet and I’ve done well! I love the way I feel eating low carb. However, the routine has grown stale. I’ve taken a leave of absence from my lovely coach and my IP way of life. I’m trying on the Low Carb, High Fat diet that so many people are having success with. Okay, it’s a glorified Adkins type diet, I admit, but well, my family really seems to like this one. My dad and brothers have had good success while on this. Have I mentioned I’m built like a football player? (grin) I’m just lucky that way. I like muscle, and it likes me. (so does fat, though… who am I kidding?)
Yesterday was my first day, and I’m trying to keep my carb intake under 30. It wasn’t hard. I’m eating bacon. “I’m a bacon-aterian”, as my son once announced when he was about 4. I’m taking that idea, and I’m running with it. I mean, for gosh sakes, who wouldn’t want to be a bacon-aterian.
The hardest part though, is getting over my fear of fat. No, I’m not scared of myself, but I’m sort of balking (okay I ate about 8 pieces of bacon yesterday) but in my head, I’m balking at ingesting fat. It seems so counter-intuitive. I will go have my blood work done soon just to be sure I’m not absolutely freaking my numbers out. The research says my numbers will get better, but well, (*blush*) they’re already good! Except that blasted scale number, that one’s still bad.
Anyone out there on a LCHF stint? Can you please chime in here? Tell me how great you’re doing with full fat cream, lots of butter and sour cream by the spoonful… please?

I’ve been eating low carb, high fat for just over a month, and it’s amazing! The great side effects go beyond just weight loss! Plus, full fat cream, lots of butter and sour cream by the spoonful…yum! 🙂 Plus, you can do it all naturally with delicious, real food, and I sure do love food!

Nothing wrong with bacon 🙂 I’ve been doing LCHF since mid-January. It is really helping with my digestive issues and my running. I ran 25kms and all I had was one low carb energy bar and felt great the whole way – this is unheard of pre-LCHF. I hope this works for you, it took me a good two weeks to get out of the craving for carbs but now I’m through that it’s fine. When I do eat more carbs than I should I can’t get over all the bloating and gas! I do really hope you find success with this x

Oh hooray! The ideal protein diet was low carb, low fat and I lost 30, but was spending so much money on their products! I like the idea of good old fashioned whole foods! Congrats on your running! You are kicking it!!!
