According to Taubes (author of why we get fat) and co yes, you can reset your hormones via low carb high fat . However, Taubes says there are a few people who are so damaged there is no turning back.

mrwalkensir · 06/05/2019 19:27

Failing miserably here - how do I copy the list as I need to add myself on?

IStillMissBlockbuster · 06/05/2019 19:44

Mrwalkensir - left click and hold at the top of the list, still holding drag the mouse down all the way to the bottom, let go and press ctrl and c. Then in the reply box press ctrl and p then add your username to the bottom of the list.

Thanks siameasy, interesting.

mrwalkensir · 06/05/2019 19:57

ah - sorry - no mouse - even DH temporarily stumped! Thought maybe it was some cheeky app setting Smile

@bandit34 - they're not ideal, to be honest - because generally they're full of artificial additives, and they're often low fat (and not especially low carb).

It's also about eating proper food, and unprocessed food, as much as possible.

That said, in extremis, if you can find one that's low carb, high fat and natural/unprocessed then it's OK.

I'm in - I think! I'm veggie and it looks like there might not be much for me to eat. But I'd like to see how it works out.

@SuckingDieselFella There are different rules for veggies, which will be on the spreadsheet when we start - but essentially you can include nuts and seeds from the start.

Also, look out for the veggie recipe thread in the Low Carb Bootcamp topic - lots of lovely ideas to inspire you there!

@bandit34 - if you have a look at The Fast 800 website, their shakes might fit the bill - although they are focused on being low calorie, they are also low carb and all natural.

Another veggie here, the veggie recipe thread has lost its sticky, it was on ep2 this morning.

Celeriac for the win!

I have added Mimosa1 because she said she was in but never got on the list

SuckingDieselFella · 07/05/2019 22:06

@BIWI Thanks, I'll look for the veggie recipes.

I'm currently doing this ( I think) and I do find this the best way for me to lose weight. However, after a while of eating the same foods it does get tyring. I look forward to getting some tips off you lovely ladies Smile

MrsBertBibby · 07/05/2019 22:19

It's very doable for vegetarians, Duesel. I lost a couple of stone last time I low carbed.

Eggs, cheese and avocados, a lot of salad leaves, mushies and spinach, and periodic bouts of keto cauliflower cheese were my main staples.

itsallabouttheponies · 08/05/2019 07:01

I'm in! I have about 3 stone to lose and a lovely holiday in July to aim for
