This is true LCHF: Basics. The abbreviation stands for Low Carb High Fat and the very simple basics are to minimize the carbs in your.
- Treatment of obesity starts with comprehensive lifestyle management (ie, diet, physical activity, behavior modification), which should include the following .

The protein should (or could) stay roughly the same. As in all Low Carb diets the key is to eat low carbs to try to get the blood sugar levels on a stable and low level. With low blood sugar less insulin is “produced” and less fat is stored in your body.
The body uses the fat as fuel instead of carbs and if you are overweight you starts loosing body fat. I will not go deeper into the scientific parts of this diet. I am a practical guy and I will focus on what to eat and how to prepare it. Andreas Eenfeldt (the Diet Doctor) has a blog with a lot of detailed information about the theories behind the low carb diets and especially LCHF. Please visit his site for more information.

If you are starting on a heavy overweight you will most probably loose a lot of weight if you follow a “strict” LCHF diet. Aside from weight loss a lot of people experience several other health benefits. Diabetes (some ends up with no medication at all!), allergies gets better, a lot of digestive problems gets better, mood swings gets better (no blood sugar issues) etc.
I have not really experienced any other health benefits than weight loss and one reason is that I actually had no health issues before I started with LCHF? Well it is really individual what level you need to go to to get the weight loss and other health benefits. I would say that the goal should be below 2. This is for weight loss. For the health benefits you can probably be a little more “liberal” with the carbs but I would not recommend anyone to go above 5. My LCHFWhen I am coaching people I always want them to start as low as possible. If you have the level set at 5g you can “afford” to get a little higher sometimes.
Up to 1. 0g or 1. If you set your level at 2. I also thinks that it is easier to control your shopping and eating when aiming really low.
There are never any discussion on what to eat or if this and that are allowed. It’s kind of “cleaner” to go really low. What to eat and what not to eat. I will try to make a really short list of “do eats” and “don’t eats”. The best way to get the idea is to follow my blog and see what I eat and not focus so much on what I do not eat.
It’ really not that hard.
