LCHF on Australia’s Biggest Science Show!
Things are happening! The other day an excellent TV show aired about the benefits of LCHF-like food. This on Australia’s biggest science show, Catalyst.
The show is not only about how LCHF may reduce appetite, produce weight loss without hunger or improve diabetes. It also goes into how this kind of food may help some top athletes to better performance.

I am only disappointed that the overall message seemed to suggest that LCHF is best suited to that "fraction of the population" that is insulin resistant, those who are (pre-) diabetic, and elite athletes. As an enthusiastic proponent of LCHF and ketosis, I am waiting for the professionals to encourage LCHF as a healthier way of eating. Period. Not just as a method of curbing the obesity epidemic and ailments associated with metabolic syndrome, but as a means of improved quality of life, mental acuity, general wellbeing, energy, etc.
LCHF is about how easy it is to get the feeling of fulness; now this program almost made me hungry! At least gave me new ideas.
