Rapid weight loss on LCHF – then effortless long-term maintenance

Dr. Ted Naiman: Really rapid initial fat loss on low carb, then effortless long-term maintenance of ideal body weight on LCHF.
I had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Ted Naiman for the first time on the recent low-carb cruise. I recommend following him on Twitter, for low-carb news and inspiring patient cases like this.
Am I just more insulin resistant than these other people?
Also, my weight chart bounces around multiple pounds per day/week/month. I gain or lose pounds per week, sometimes per day, especially when fasting. It's nowhere near flat as it's shown above.
What do you eat to keep fat so high? I have difficulty figuring out how to get in the fat.
Thanks!
stating lchf on 06/01/2015 - 90 something kilos - finishes on 10/01/2015 with 70 something kilos.
l am moving to saudi for a 1 year contract and l really hope l can keep up with lchf as l hear all they out there is junk food
The funny thing is, I would have said the same thing before I tried it. It isn't that hard, especially when you're keto-adapted, and it did have significant effects in kicking me off of a plateau. Now I'm on work travel, and slipping off plan and eating carbs about one day a week, because it just becomes too difficult...but by fasting the next day, then going right back to low carb, I actually seem to be losing overall--at least, in the waistline. No reliable scales in hotels!
As for IF, I heard it helps by reducing your fasted blood sugar (and therefore insulin level) so maybe you are very insulin resistant... I also hear from a keto coach that it's important to increase your fat intake by quite a lot (it's over 100 g/day for the coach from what I remember). This is for your body to adapt more to fat burning. But then again, this sort of contradicts the graph of macronutrients/day I saw from Dr.Phinny which says to gradually increase fat so your body uses what is stored in you first. Of course, both say to keep your protein intake moderate. Sometimes you might need less than you think. Anyhow, I guess you are on the right tract for your body if the fat is coming off. :D
It is not appropriate, or helpful, or accurate, for people to be running around accusing other people of being anorexic on a website devoted to health and wellness.
Anorexia is mental health disorder that can only be diagnosed by a qualified professional in a clinical setting.
Bob, if you have such a terror of anorexia that you start accusing people you don't know of having it, you probably need to learn more about what anorexia from a qualified professional (no, I am not interested in being that professional, in case you ask). But it has nothing to do with fasting, which people engage in for a variety of religious/spiritual reasons. As others said - if someone has a history of eating disorders, fasting might be triggering and unhealthy for them (note: I am not giving medical advice of any kind to anyone, we are just talking common sense). But that is where the relationship between fasting and anorexia begins and ends.
My concern about the story being discussed is whether fasting is being used appropriately to support long term weight loss/health or whether its being used in some bastardized form as a "yo-yo" form of calorie restriction diet, or if the person is keeping hydrated (or just losing water weight) during fasting. No idea, as I'm responding something second hand, but still.
