I often get email on the improvement of acne by LCHF. Here is one:
I started to eat LCHF due to obesity. Today I weigh 95 kg and have during 3 weeks lost 5 kg.
What I had not thought about was that something so drastic would happen to my skin.
I had real acne problems since my teens and have been on strong medications (among others Roaccutane). Have been to many doctors and nothing has helped me!
You could say that I have for many years accepted the position.
But after I started with LCHF has something magical happened to my skin. That nice it has not been in my entire life!
Certainly it is not quite perfect yet, but there is huge difference.
Even my husband commented on it and it doesn´t say a little bit)
Why has not anyone told me about this before, one wonders? Had I but known about this situation in my teens it could have been been quite different?
When I Googled around a bit, I see lots of people who got rid of their acne by LCHF.
So my tip is pretty much to spread this information and I hope that more people who suffer from acne should dare trying LCHF.
Sincerely
Veronica

Metabolic typing
Written by Annika Dahlqvist on 14 June, 2010 at 11:58
I think that I more often see the term ”Metabolic typing”.
I think that LCHF is right for us because it agrees with our basic physiology. Then everyone may try out exactly which foods to feel the best.
However,”Metabolic typing” I don’t know what the physiology is consistent with. For me it just sounds goofy, but maybe it’s me who don’t understand. Is there any science behind it?

Remedy against muscle cramps
Remedy against muscle cramps
Written by Annika Dahlqvist in 04 February, 2010 at 14:18
Some have problems with muscle cramps, especially leg craps. It can affect both plate model eaters and LCHFs.
I now received a mail about a tip that one remedy against muscle cramp is Bio-Quinon, Q-10, 100 mg. Manufacturer Pharma Nord. Dosage was not specified, but perhaps it is on the package. Available on the Health store or on the Web.

A new light over the ACCORD study
Written by Annika Dahlqvist on 18 May, 2010 at 22:18
In February, 2008 the ACCORD study was presented http://www.lakartidningen.se/engine.php?articleId=8941 . They had studied two groups of type-2 diabetics, one with standard treatment, and the other with intensive blood glucose-lowering treatment for all possible pharmacological types. The result was increased mortality in the intensive group.
Then they encountered reading the recommendation that new onset type-2 diabetes should be treated intensively, but for those who have had the disease for many years they should accept a higher HbA1c (long sugar). Patients have been given by their doctors to know that it is dangerous to get low down in HbA1c to then increase the risk for death.
We LCHF representatives have consistently pointed out that by reducing their HbA1c by low carbohydrate diet, it can not be dangerous to come down to normal HbA1c, quite the opposite. But “no one” has listened to us, as usual.
Now it is a re-evaluation of the ACCORD study http://www.diabetesincontrol.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=9318 . They have then looked at who died in the intensive treatment group, and saw that it was those with high HbA1c.
It must then be the high medication that caused the poorly adjusted to die in the intensive treatment group. Any or some of the drugs increased the risk of death. For instance the glitazones (Avandia and Actos) have been shown to increase the risk of myocardial infarction.
Again, we LCHFs are by saying that if you reduce the carbohydrate intake that can bring down long-term blood sugar by decreasing medical charts rather than increased.
Sometime in the future they may start listening to us. In particular, the patient’s stories to their doctors on how they have become healthier with LCHF that can provide a pressure from below that can provide insight even with the higher professors.

Don’t blame the burgers
Written by Annika Dahlqvist on 11 May, 2010 at 10:46
Article in The Independent http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/health-and-families/features/donrsquot-blame-it-on-the-burgers-1970487.html .
When”everybody” believes that they have found the killer the lone detective realizes that the real perpetrator is still out there – ready to strike again.
When you eat a ”healthy balanced diet”, according to nutritionist’s model, you take in corresponding 60 teaspoons of sugar every day, which is not good.
It seems that the detectives alone may continue to face a tough enemy in the dark alleys of the “nutritionism”.

Moderate low carbohydrate diet.
Written by Annika Dahlqvist on 07 May, 2009 at 07:02
The SBU report on the scientific basis of diabetic dietary advice and in dietician’s press release the term moderate low carbohydrate diet is mentioned. By that they mean about 40 E% carbohydrates.
I read somewhere that before it came to low lipid dietary recommendations people spontaneously ate an average of about 40 E% carbohydrates, 40 E% lipids and 20 E% protein. Viewed from that is 50-60 E% high carbohydrate diet and d 40 R% normal carbohydrate. Low carbohydrate is at least below 30 E% and strict low carbohydrate below 10 E%.

Randomized studies
Written by Annika Dahlqvist on 06 May, 2010 at 18:18
SBU and the National Board of course require large, long, expensive randomized trials before they are willing to chance the priority of dietary advice.
Now that more and more diabetics try and discover what health improvement they have with LCHF of the old fat-frightened carbohydrate-rich diet – how will they be able to get large studies with raffled groups who eat low lipid and low carbohydrate? And who are willing to get involved with this hazardous low lipid diet for many years?
Hopefully, they will only get put down and recognise that there are no remaining diabetics who agree to eat low lipid diet.
