Low Carb Down Under has compiled these useful Resources to help give you a better understanding of Low Carb, High Fat.

Using a Low Carb, High Fat Diet to Lose Weight – A Short Summary

1. Cut your carbohydrate intake down to around 20 grams per day. See more on carbohydrates

2. Eat more healthy fats. You need these for energy. Note, this is NOT a low calorie diet!

3. Ensure you eat plenty of protein – many of us do best consuming around 1.5 gms of protein per kilogram of body weight per day. Protein satiates! See more on protein

4. Eat two to three meals per day with at least 30 grams of protein with each meal.

5. Reduce snacking between meals. Wait at least 4 hours after a meal.

6. Eat plenty of green leafy vegetables each day to get fibre, essential minerals and vitamins.

7. Add plenty of salt. The latest research suggests we do better on closer to 5gm per day than the 2.3gms recommended by dietary authorities.

8. If you have all the above correct and are not losing excess weight then start counting your calorie intake. Keep your carbohydrates low, ensure good levels of protein intake and then reduce fat calories by 200 every few weeks until the weight starts coming off again.

LCHF and Diabetes

Can a Low Carb, High Fat diet be used to manage Diabetes Type-1 or Type-2? Yes! We believe this is far and above the best way to manage diabetes and there is growing interest in returning to carbohydrate restricted diets as a tool in managing diabetes complications long term.

If you have Type-1 or Type-2 Diabetes it is important to understand that decreasing your consumption of carbohydrates that raise your blood sugar will decrease your need for insulin and other medication used to lower blood sugars. Taking the same dose of insulin or medication as you did prior to adopting a Low Carb, High Fat diet may result in hypoglycaemia (low blood sugar).

If you have Type-1 or Type-2 Diabetes get the approval and supervision of a medical professional before commencing a Low Carb, High Fat diet. A well-formulated Low Carb, High Fat diet can help Type-1 and Type-2 Diabetics achieve long term normalised blood sugar levels.

For more resources on LCHF and Diabetes we recommend the works of Dr Richard Bernstein and Dr Jason Fung as well as the videos from Dr. Troy Stapleton, Lisa Scherger and Dr. Wendy Pogozelski below.

My Story: Managing Type-1 Diabetes with LCHF

“Hi, my name is Fiona and I’m a Type-1 diabetic. I have had diabetes for 23 years. I use an insulin pump to manage my diabetes and had always followed the standard Australian dietary guidelines. I ate whatever I wanted and just gave myself enough insulin to cover the amount of carbohydrates I was eating.

After having my two children I had put on a significant amount of weight and it kept creeping up. I needed to change something in my life and it began with the discovery of David Gillespie’s book ‘Sweet Poison’. I read the book and it all just made sense. I quit sugar and found that my blood sugar levels began to stabilize and my hba1c began to lower.

As I lived sugar free I began to question other foods I was eating and what their impact was on my blood sugar levels. I knew that foods with sugar in them caused my blood sugar levels to spike but I hadn’t thought about high carbohydrate foods, such as bread and pasta. I began to realise that eating high carbohydrate foods caused my blood sugar levels to spike just as much as if I had eaten food with sugar in it!

I began researching and discovered the low carbohydrate high/healthy fat way of eating and it was a light bulb moment for me. Eating less carbohydrates and more protein and fat would mean that my blood sugar levels would be stable. Eating a high carbohydrate meal or food would often mean high doses of insulin and, if I didn’t calculate that correctly, a high blood sugar level and I found high doses of insulin caused me to gain weight. That high blood sugar level would then come crashing down when I would bolus a correction dose of insulin. Then of course the whole thing began again when I corrected the low blood sugar level with glucose. I had been battling the blood sugar level roller-coaster all my life and it was time to get off!

The low carb high/healthy fat way of eating has changed my life. I have lost all the weight I put on while pregnant and I’m lighter than I was before I got married. My blood sugar levels are stable and my average blood sugar levels are similar to those of a non-diabetic. My hba1c levels are so great that my endocrinologist has asked me if I was pregnant as that was the only time that my control was tight enough to warrant a good hba1c level! I have enough energy to work part time, look after two young children and a household. LCHF has changed my life.”

LCHF and Parenting

If you are considering adopting a Low Carb, High Fat diet for your family it is worth recognising that there are no nutrients (vitamins, minerals or micronutrients) in starchy carbohydrate foods that cannot be found in low carbohydrate alternatives, often in a superior form. All foods give us energy and contrary to the standard dietary guidelines there is no absolute requirement for carbohydrates in our diets. But does this apply to children as well?

In adults as well as children, sugar and starchy refined carbohydrates are processed into energy quickly by the body and produce a sharp spike in blood sugar levels that in turn encourages our bodies to produce insulin. Insulin is a fat storage hormone and prolonged, excessive production of insulin encourages weight gain. Conversely, eating more fats and protein provides a longer, slower and steadier release of energy where blood sugar levels normalise and we remain fuller for longer.

Most young people metabolise carbohydrates quite well. Over time however, especially when exposed to large amounts of carbohydrates some become insulin resistant. Insulin resistance results in insulin becoming less effective and blood sugar levels become elevated, potentially leading to the development of Type-2 diabetes and obesity. Restricting carbohydrates during childhood can help to prevent childhood obesity that frequently leads to adult obesity. Behavioural problems such as ADHD have also been linked to excessive carbohydrate intake.

A common argument is that the brain needs glucose for energy and diets low in carbohydrates can be detrimental to learning, memory and thinking. This argument is extended to children and brain development. This argument remains unproven in human studies and although the brain does run on glucose it can run equally well on ketones as its’ primary fuel source. The currently recommended standard dietary guidelines are very high in carbohydrates and limit essential proteins and fats. Proteins and fats are essential for brain development where as carbohydrates are not.

Cholesterol levels have been shown to increase slightly when children start on a Low Carb, High Fat diet, but these tend to normalise over time. If your child or teenager is overweight or obese there is a possibility that they have already developed insulin resistance and a Low Carb, High Fat diet may be a very effective treatment. You should not however adopt a Low Carb, High Fat diet for your child if you have not received consent from their doctor. You should also not adopt a Low Carb, High Fat diet for an infant or a toddler.

“Training children to avoid pastries, sweets, processed food, fizzy drinks and take-away food sounds like a no-brainer, but this is often viewed as “deprivation” by society. By restricting carbs in childhood, you are offering them the gift of a long, healthy life, not deprivation. To appreciate the alternative, one just has to look around and realise how many people are sick and overweight; radiant health is no longer the norm.

Feeding a child a low-carbohydrate diet will not only improve mental aptitude and focus, but prevent serious health hazards later on.

One of the best recognised and highly recommended treatments for autism and epilepsy is, in fact, a ketogenic diet. The well-known ketogenic diet is an eating plan where all carbohydrate foods (including fruit and carb-rich foods) are removed from the child’s diet, and he/she is placed on a very high-fat diet, together with sufficient protein and vegetables. The body is therefore forced to burn fats instead of carbohydrates.

Carbs are turned into glucose, particularly important for brain function. Where there are no carbohydrates provided, the liver then converts fat into ketone bodies. These can then be used by the brain as a source of energy, and has been shown to lead to a dramatic decline in seizure occurrence in epileptic children.

The ketogenic diet has been successfully used for decades, so clearly it is neither dangerous nor unhealthy. However, feeding a moderate carbohydrate diet that includes sweet potato, carrots, nuts and even a little gluten-free grain in moderation (such as buckwheat and quinoa) in small amounts and infrequently – would be acceptable for most healthy children.

Breakfast cereals may just be the elephant in the room. Many parents can’t imagine giving children anything else to eat at breakfast other than a plate of cereal, with reduced-fat milk, plenty of sugar and perhaps a glass of orange juice and a piece of toast with margarine. This is a recipe for disaster for the rest of the day, as there is virtually no protein or fat. The fat that is provided is a toxic version of a real fat. Margarine is no substitute for butter whatsoever – one is toxic and inflammatory, the other (butter) is nutritious and healthy. You may as well open a packet of sugar and pour this down the child’s throat. It is no wonder there are so many “diagnoses” of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)…….

To summarise, for the normal child, don’t take all carbs away, but make sure the carbs given are not in the form of grains or sugars – and before going to parties, fill them up with fat and protein. They will eat a lot less junk.”

LCHF for Athletes

For Athletes looking to make the switch from traditional carb-loading to becoming fat adapted the book ‘The Art and Science of Low Carbohydrate Performance‘ is a good place to start.

Professor Jeff Volek outlines some of the theory and science behind this approach in this video.

For Athletes looking to explore dietary aspects of LCHF, Nutritionist Katie King provides an ‘Introduction to LCHF for Athletes’ for those wanting to switch from using carbohydrates as a fuel to using fat for sustained athletic performance.

If you’re looking for anecdotal perspectives from Athletes who have made the swith to LCHF, David Grech describes his experience ‘Running on Fat’ during the 50km Mt. Buller Sky Run and Matt Hold takes us through his transition to eating LCHF in ‘Taking on the Gold Coast Marathon with LCHF’

David Grech also explores which elite athletes are currently using LCHF in ‘Fats vs Carbs – What do the Elites know that we don’t?’

From a medical stand point, Dr. Peter Brukner is a world renowned sports medicine clinician and team doctor for the Australian cricket team. He has published internationally with a number of books, book chapters and over 90 original research articles.

Dr. Brukner has applied Low Carb, High Fat dietary advice in his work with athletes and he describes his success in this video.

LCHF and Cancer

Can a Low Carb, High Fat ketogenic diet be used to reduce your chance of getting cancer or to treat an established cancer? There is good evidence to suggest yes.

Wide ranges of cancers are becoming more common. This is not just because people are living longer or because diagnosis is being made earlier due to technological advances. Most authorities suggest dietary changes or reduced physical activity as the likely causes for increased cancer. Our focus is on dietary causes and treatments.

There is growing interest in Low Carb, High Fat ketogenic diets in cancer prevention and treatment. It has been noted that many cancers thrive on glucose and require it to replicate. An LCHF diet converts our fuel from carbohydrates to an alternative that all our cells can use called ketones. We postulate that eating a well formulated, ketogenic LCHF diet will effectively starve some cancers. Dr Otto Warburg, a Nobel Prize winner, discovered this theory in the 1930’s. See “Warburg Effect” for more information.

For more resources on the relationship between sugar, cancer and Low Carb, High Fat we suggest the works of Dr Dominic D’Agostino and Dr Colin Champ.

For an overview on the subject see Dr Kieron Rooney’s “Sugar and Cancer – Bench to Bedside” and Dr Thomas Seyfried’s “Targeting Energy Metabolism in Brain Cancer” below.

LCHF and Epilepsy

Low Carb, High Fat ketogenic diets have been used to help control seizures in people with epilepsy for many years. The diet was originally adopted and developed at John Hopkins Hospital in the 1930s after improvements in epileptic children were noted whilst fasting. For eighty years, studies have shown that an LCHF diet reduces or prevents seizures in many children whose seizures could not be controlled by medications. There are no records of these children developing heart disease due to the diet.
