Why an Orthopedic Surgeon Recommends an LCHF Diet

August 3 by Dr. Andreas EenfeldtDr. Andreas Eenfeldt, M.D.Dr. Andreas Eenfeldt, M.D.Dr. Andreas Eenfeldt is a Swedish medical doctor specialized in family medicine. He now runs the fast-growing health site DietDoctor.com as the founder and owner, together with 16 co-workers. in High Blood Pressure, Low Carb High Fat, Migraine, Weight loss stories

Why are some people obese and some people thin, despite eating the same things? That’s what orthopedic surgeon Christopher Gorczynski asked himself when a couple walked in to his clinic one day, and the wife was heavy while the husband was thin. Despite the fact that they ate the same foods!

After some research, including reading The Big Fat Surprise by Nina Teicholz, Dr. Gorczynski realized that the weight loss advice that he was giving his patients – eat less, exercise more – simply didn’t work. Instead, he tried an LCHF diet on himself, and 25 pounds (11 kg) melted off. He also lost his hypertension and his migraine headaches!

Is your doctor recommending an LCHF diet yet?

The DASH diet – Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension – is often promoted as healthy. But it’s mostly a very conventional low-fat diet, including lots of fruit and vegetables and low-fat (yuk) dairy.

Interestingly a new study tested a higher fat version of the DASH diet – including full fat dairy. More total fat and less carbohydrates. And what happened? It turned out to be an improvement, resulting in better health markers in participants. Surprise, surprise, to all who still fear fat.
