More and More Visits to DietDoctor.com
Wow. More and more people are being told about this site. The number of visits are increasing every week and yesterday was a new record: More than 16,000 visits in a day. The chart above shows the number of daily visits since 2011.
A big thanks to everybody telling their friends about this site. There’s a lot of disastrous misinformation about diet and health out there, resulting in millions of people suffering needlessly. Together we can help at least some of them.
So who visited DietDoctor.com yesterday? Most people were from the US (10,776), Canada (1,102), the UK (972) and Australia (463). Also there were quite a few South Africans (195). The food revolution is getting started there as well.
All in all there were visits from 116 countries. Where are you from?

Congratulations for the blog, it's awesome.
So happy that your page is growing popular :)
I recommend the book "Dawn over the Kalahari - how humans became human" by Lasse Berg (ISBN: 9186528106). The book originally written in Swedish is about our ancestors from Africa and the bushmen that still lives in South Africa.
I also love the way people get so surprised when they witness me eating a slice of butter topped with anchovies or put cream in my coffee and eat the fat on my steak and skin on my chicken while they eat plates full of steamed rice and fat free sugar sauce loaded 'healthy vegetarian stirfry'.
Quorn is getting a big advertising boost here (fake, gluten free meat subsititute). All I can see is growing bellies and people starving on 'Heart Healthy' fat fee and 'juice' diets and told to exercise over an hour every day.
Better hair, nails, skin, hayfever gone, IBS almost completely gone, better sense of taste and smell and clear head.
I foward the link to this blog whenever someone seems remotely interested.
Thanks for never disappointing who I send here.
LCHF for 2 years and my wife and I have dropped a respectable 65 lbs each. Our family Dr was dubious, sent us for lots of tests and we are all happy with the results. No more meds for high blood pressure or cholesterol. Never hungry. Both of us feel great. We credit Gary Taubes for helping us make an informed decision to stop our high carb suicide eating. Further we thank you for your informative site as well as YouTube for making available so many videos by experts providing facts and not fiction.
My journey of low carbing started in June 2012 by the sole guide of your english version of LCHF for Beginner. Lost 18 kgs in 3 months and my weight is stable now at the ideal 60 kgs for a 168cm guy. Ran my first 10K in August 2012, and then a couple more races in 2012. I'm currently at the fittest point of my life!
And obviously, I point people to this site whenever they ask, how can I do this dramatic change ;)
Cheers!
Fantastic to see this blog grow and flourish. Congratulations on all your hard work, Dr. Eenfeldt! You're changing the world, one post at a time. :P
Keep up the great work!
I'm lucky enough to have a supportive doctor who actually started out by recommending I look at changing to a LCHF lifestyle! Not to mention what I'm eating is delicious!
Thanks again - I find the blog really interesting and to all of you who take time to comment too, it's very thought provoking and often enlightening.
nearly a quarter of a century ago, in 1990, after a series of articles in the press Polish doctor Jan Kwasniewski published a book called "Optimal nutrition", which was published in more than 300,000 copies. In short we can say that it was a LCHF diet but with his rules. Kwasniewski also released another publication. In a nutshell, the author says that the food consumed should be in the following ratio of protein to fat and carbohydrates - 1:2,5-3,5:0,6.
In private practice, and publications he promote this type of diet, but as a doctor ostracized reluctance of the medical community and the government.
I am writing this because I am a victim of a sick, criminal propaganda, ignorance and stupidity of doctors as well as corruption in the world of pharmacy.
I has got brain stroke in 1997 and one my carotid artery was cleaning (the other is blocked at 100%) After that I used a LCHF diet but a year later, under pressure from doctors who care for me, I quit this diet, which resulted in the need to implant me 4 by-pass'es because for angioplasty was already too late. Since then I returned to the LCHF diet, called with us, "Kwasniewski diet" that is, since 2003. My health is getting better, I have more and better stress test and CT did not show a deterioration in the status of my blood arteries. By-pass'es clean as well but I have to fight with cardiologists who consider me to be a suicider, and I think that they look at me like an idiot sometimes.
I say yes, I'm very, very happy with this blog because it gives me the strength to continue the LCHF diet.
Just one more thing to the end. I made a few mistakes by learning to live on this diet, because sometimes exaggerate the amount of protein, making it difficult to maintain an appropriate BMI, but very easy I lose weight using LCHF guarding 1 protein: 2,5-3,5 fat: 0.6 carbs . According to Kwasniewski's important is the size of meals to BMI.
Thank you Dr. Eenfeldt for this blog.
Sincerely, Nemer
Read about the transitation problems befor you start!
"Initial side effects
If you stop eating sugar and starch cold turkey (recommended) you may experience some side effects as your body adjusts. For most people these side effects tend to be mild and last a just few days. There are also ways to minimize them.
Common during the first week:
Headache
Fatigue
Dizziness
Heart palpitations
Irritability
The side effects rapidly subside as your body adapts and your fat burning increases. They can be minimized by drinking some extra fluids and by temporarily increasing your salt intake a bit. A good option is to drink some broth every few hours. Alternatively, drink a few extra glasses of water and put extra salt on your food.
The reason for this is that carbohydrate-rich foods may increase the water retention in your body. When you stop eating high-carb foods you’ll lose excess water through your kidneys. This can result in dehydration and lack of salt during the first week, before the body has adapted.
Some people prefer to decrease their intake of carbohydrates slowly, over a few weeks, to minimize the side effects. But the “Nike way” (Just Do It) is probably the best choice for most people. Removing most sugar and starch often results in several pounds lost on the scale within a few days. It may be mostly fluids but it’s great for the motivation."

After that I read the Atkins book, it didnt have the same impact on me.

This Cardiac Nurse will try her best to spread the word, however we have to adhere to NHS/NICE/Government guidelines for 'healthy eating' :(
Continue with the good work guys! x
