So... I'm experimenting and down a pound in 4 days yippee!!

Cannot believe this crazy diet not only stops me from gaining weight but is actually letting me lose and, all the while I am eating cheese, cream, butter...

I'm staying away from potatoes and my carbs are a bit lower than the ratio - but, then I'm not counting the carbs in cream or cheese, so figure that may push the number up slightly.

Why I think this works for me, is the reduction in protein - I notice when I eat chicken breast for lunch, for example, I feel kind of similar to how I feel after a carb lunch of pasta (it sits heavily in my stomach)

I've read a lot more on the LCHF rationale too (the Scandanavian Diet) and it is all beginning to make sense to me. I don't crave anything high carb either - in fact, I have very few cravings at all. Just enjoyment from good, tasty food.
