Hi Maggie, For beef, in particular, look for labels that say “grass-fed and finished” so you know they weren’t also given grains to be fattened up. We trust Butcher Box for high quality meat and US Wellness Meats. They have bacon that is humanely raised in addition to being uncured. Best of luck!

These are two good sources:

Just be sure to do your research before you start using anything – even if it’s good for you, it may not be for the rest of the creatures on our earth. With growing human populations, it’s hard not to take and take from our earth but we have to protect it. Again, I’m still not totally sure about the krill oil issue, but I thought it brought up an important point.

Ali,
Have you heard of Dr. McDougall? He’s had great success helping others with these issues.

Like many others I jumped on the LCHF bandwagon 8 years ago, but unlike others, I not only lost no weight, but I actually gained over 30lbs on top of my already extremely ample frame. After being contantly told I ‘obviously wasn’t doing it right’ and fiddling about with macros, I am finally coming around to the concept that this exceedingly insulin resistant obese body of mine needs to be both low carb AND low fat.

Low carb in order to keep my insulin requirements low, and low fat to force my body to burn its own fat. I know eating lean protein can trigger ‘rabbit starvation’, but I may just need to do that for a while in order to shift the weight. Other than that, the only other way I can lose weight is through water-fasting.

This is only my third complete day of moderate protein plus green salad (x 2 meals) LCLF but I have lost 3lbs.

Time will tell…..

Freelee doesn’t seem to care about actual health though, she is more obsessed with being skinny. She claims to care about health but when you watch her stuff you can see she mainly talks about being skinny/weight loss, thigh gaps etc. not actual health, and she honestly looks too skinny like her hips and elbows just look bony, But to each their own I suppose…

Love it! The NIH.gov website has a few short term studies with regards to Paleo eating and lifestyle, and all the results have been very positive. I think the Mayo clinic may also have some early research. These two sources are results focused and are pretty accessible by non-science types, so they can get the idea without being bogged down by the lingo.

I know not every one wants to follow Paleo- I did for a while but found it too restrictive to be realistic for myself and family at this stage and have evolved to something more akin to Primal-, but it is a pretty prominent grain free lifestyle right now, so it is a good place to start learning.

Nice yeah I follow freelees lifestyle too makes more sense tbh and I feel great

Hi Naveen
I had similar troubles and my blood pressure was out of control.
We really don’t need much fat in our diets. The body is engineered to fuel on carbohydrates. So if one removes the preferred fuel (carbs) to force the body to burn it’s least choice (fats) our bodies naturally reject this idea.
Although, it seems rational in theory we may lose weight or may not, but our true health actually suffers.
May I suggest the answer I was given?
Stop eating dairy, meats, eggs, butter- all animal products. Lessen all oils to a low level,
Enjoy all the starches you can. Go vegan. It saved my health and waistline. The Starch Solution. Search it on your computer or phone. You will not regret it. Plus it’s free information to change your health. I thank God for answering my prayer. So many opinions out there, but this one is real.
Happy Eating from this day forward Naveen!

Coconut oil is good for so many things. Cooking, baking, deodorant, brushing your teeth/oil pulling, makeup removal, face moisturizer etc etc. Google it!

yes, it’s because it’s starchy, my family and me eat it in moderation
