Losing 140 pounds with fat

Before and after 1½ years
Suzz heard of LCHF from a co-worker and this became the start of an impressive weight loss journey:
The email
Hi Andreas,
I’m on my way from 287 lbs (130 kg). Today 185 lbs (84 kg), minus 102 lbs in about 1½ years. I have many pounds more to go, but I’m so grateful for your page and your advice!
A co-worker told me about LCHF but I was very skeptical – you simply CAN’T DIET WITH FAT!!! But I kept reading and wanted to give it a chance. I CERTAINLY DON’T REGRET IT! If I ate myself obese, I will certainly also eat it away too!
Hugs, Suzz

You've made a mistake Andreas. It's suzz, not Patrick .
Yes, clearly.
Bravo on your progress!
Seriously, don't throw the fat out. When you heat the broth up, the fat melts. Enjoy it in your soup!
Stuck on the same weight despite all efforts.
Already on IF
should I cylce carbs?
I never realized how many snacks and "treats" I was eating before.
My blood sugar levels are so stable. I don't get so hungry that I could eat my arm between meals. Breakfast is usually the same fare, with (2) fried eggs over easy, and either Canadian ham, bacon, or ground beef mixed with a little salsa (amazing, change your life). Coffee with a tablespoon of heavy cream really chased away my Starbucks latte cravings, and if I miss the "experience", I just go in and have some hot tea with stevia leafs that I bring with me everywhere.
I really enjoy these amazing achievement stories Dr. Andreas - and congrats to Suzz! You are an inspiration to me!
A couple of folks mentioned they're no longer seeing a change in weight. I just wanted to chime in and remind everyone to look beyond the scale for confirmation you're losing fat. My husband is also doing LCHF. He started 2016 at 242 lbs., and he is currently 242 lbs., BUT he's gone from size 42 jeans down to getting baggy 38's. He is the "poster boy" for the scale being the worst gauge of losing fat and building muscle. I suggest picking out a pair of jeans (or other clothes) that are slightly too small and periodically (weekly or biweekly) trying them on to see how you're progressing.
I agree with WarblingLisa, the scale is not the only thing i find you must looking at,
I am still at the same weight, but i have lost cm's and feel much better, clothes are loser or fitting better. Mussle weigh more than fat, i think also that people are to much looking to the scale, better looking to how you feel and the cm / inches.
So, to those just starting LCHF, weigh and measure yourself. Enjoy your journey to health and the amazing recipes that you can indulge in while transforming your health!
When I plan my meals, I am delighted to realize that I can eat real, healthy, delicious food every day! Once again, a big thank you to all the Diet Doctor team for putting the power to be healthy into the hands of individuals!!
