I started low carb almost 8 years ago. I have been mainly paleo for about
5.5 years.
Almost all my lupus symptoms have disappeared. I have great stamina.
Before low carb my cholesterol was 199. A year ago, my total cholesterol
was 165, HDL was 63 and LDL was 94. My triglycerides were 29, glucose 92.
I have lost 75 pounds and kept it off, and I never could do that before. I
eat whenever I am hungry, and I do my best to stop as soon as I feel a
little full. Some days I eat a lot. Some days I eat much less - I try to
listen to my body and its needs.
I eat around a pound of meat ( fish, chicken, beef, pork, turkey) a day -
sometimes more, and I eat between half a pound up to four pounds of
vegetables and/or fruits daily. I snack on nuts. I also eat eggs in place
of meat sometimes. I eat all the visible fat on my meat - along with the
marbled fat.
For two months I tried eating like a warrior - mainly once a day. The first
month I lost 1/2 pound. The second month I gained 3 pounds. I think I was
just too hungry by mealtime and then I ate ravenously. I prefer to eat when
I am hungry and eat fewer, smaller meals. After I went back to this, in ten
days the 3 pounds melted off.
Hope this is somewhat helpful, Igor.

If so, how does it work for you? Are your blood lipids okay? Is maintaining
a normal weight easy? Do you eat ad lib?
