Gromit Sep 2020 8:10pm, 4 Sep 2020 1402 posts	0 Gromit I’ve been trying keto style diet for a month now and have lost a stone and starting to see improvements in performance mostly from the reduced weight of course , anyone still doing LCHF diet on here ?
Non-runner Sep 2020 8:57pm, 4 Sep 2020 674 posts	0 Non-runner I’m on and off with it Gromit, largely due to a carb-loving spouse😊. I’m not too bothered about sweet stuff, always use butter, cream etc (no low fat here) and practice intermittent fasting pretty diligently. Lost a stone in lockdown this way using 5:2 method. I wish my lifestyle meant I could be more full-on Keto, I genuinely think it is the healthiest way to eat.

TeeBee Sep 2020 9:06pm, 4 Sep 2020 6649 posts	0 TeeBee Yes I'm pretty low carb most of the time, although don't go as far as keto. I fine just keeping off the sugar, whrat based products, plus potatoes and rice gives me enough benefits. I'm also playing with intermittent fasting - so only eating between 12pm and ideally 8pm, but usually closer to 10pm.
Garfield Sep 2020 12:34pm, 5 Sep 2020 13895 posts	0 Garfield Me too TeeBee...I just gently tweak the carbs if I find I'm swelling a little bit! I've done intermittent fasting in the past (only not realising that it was a thing several decades in the past)...basically stop eating after 6pm, which I tend to do naturally anyways.
