​Fat is our Friend

Fat; the word still makes us feel a bit squeamish. And that's not surprising when for years, you've been told that eating fat makes you fat... and maybe ill. Except that it's not true.

Bread, pasta and cakes on the other hand? They are just part of a normal day... as long as we mind the sugar! Aren't they? Well... that's not true either.

By eating fewer starchy foods and more full-fat food, you reduce the amount of insulin that your body produces. Insulin, the master hormone, regulates how your body uses fuel from food, maintains your long-term health and results in a better balanced body.

Just what is an LCHF Lifestyle?

#LCHF is the term a growing number of people use for their  way of eating: 'Low-Carb/High-Fat'. When combined with gentle exercise, this approach has been shown to improve your health markers, hormonal balance and help you in losing weight.

Scientific update: It's becoming more widely accepted that odd chain fatty acids, in particular, C15:0 or pentadecanoic acid are good for us, even essential. And what food group is rich in this essential fat? Dairy, and in particular, butter, cheese and full-fat yogurts.
Sammy Pepys was the pseudonym used by James Capon when writing this book. He is not a doctor or a nutritionist. He is concerned and increasingly suspicious of today's conventional wisdom when it comes to diet, health and the lack of progress on tackling growing rates of type-2 diabetes, obesity and related diseases.
Since then, he has advised numerous people about the benefits of low-carb diets and seen their health and energy levels rise. Weight loss is associated with this eating approach (he lost 7 kilos) but feeling good and having more energy is the main driver!
