What kind of success have you had with an Atkins-style diet, that is, very low carbs, focusing on high protein, non-starchy vegetables, and fats?

Great question!  I too am on a LCHF & high protein diet via my internist.  I have lost ~40lbs in the last 7-8 months.

 

Additional reading about this topic should include "The Big Fat Surprise" by Nina Teicholz.

 

I spent my entire career in healthcare (AHA, Health Insurance and BioPharma.

 

I am a great believer in the Atkins (or similar) approach.  Eliminating fat from our diet and ramping up carbs (good, bad, or other) has led to the epidemic of heart disease & diabetes - and possibly cancer as well.

 

Good luck.
