I am 1.86m tall. About two years ago, I was about 90kgs. During that time I was following Weigh-Less, and it seemed to work for me, even though it was quite difficult to maintain. I've never eaten so much in my life, like I had to then. I was also not exercising at all. Yet I could maintain a steady weight of 90kgs (which is good for me). Lately I am 104kg (was 111kg just before Argus, lost a few until 108kg, and then started LCHF). I'm struggling to lose weight at the moment. I can only imagine what cycling with 14kgs less must feel like According to my BMI, which I know isn't much to go by, I am obese. I'm not masculine at all. A typical day with Weigh-Less could include up to 6 slices of low-Gi bread . You have 3 large meals, and 3 snack meals in-between. Typically, each large meal would include at least 100g cucumber, 100g tomato's, about 100-120g of some sort of meat, and carbs in the form of two slices of bread or potatoes etc. Snacks would be biltong, a fruit, yogurt etc. Everything was low-fat though. Skim milk, fat-free yogurt, light margarine, no fat on meat, no droewors. You get the grim picture. I don't get how this diet worked, but it did for me. One possible theory is that, because you eat so often, your body doesn't need to store any fat, because it doesn't go into starvation mode. Can it be that because I get less hungry now on LCHF, I eat less often and my body goes in some sort of 'storage' mode? I am thinking of combining the eating patterns I learnt on Weigh-Less with the food choices I learnt from LCHF. Maybe have some fruit in-between meals, together with some droewors, biltong or yogurt. Have up to 300g of cucumber & 300g of tomatoes a day, but with some lekker cheese in the salad too, and olive oil for dressing. And still don't have any starches?
