Uh, that's not so fun with these problems!

I am feeling OK. I have gall stone lying in my gall bladder caused from my low fat dieting bouts earlier (contrary to what many believe, gall stones is created by low fat food, and if you suddenly eat a lot of fat after long time of low fat you will get problems) but now I have carefully increased my fat intake over half a year so my body is used to producing gall/bile now without shocks.

I have noticed that I feel better with fat than without. When I dieted low fat I got a lot of problems. Problems with melting food, hypersensitive to food (the worst pain I have lived through EVER only for drinking orange juice for example) problems with poop, pain in joints...

Did you know that LCHF diet is the perfect diet for diabetics and people with heart problems? Pretty contrary to popular belief, indeed. :) But you have to be careful with the kinds of fat you eat. Artifically made fat such as margarine and many oils (palm oil, corn oil and many others) are not good for the body. Only natural fats are ok to eat. Butter (100% dairy), olive oil, rapeseed oil and fat from animals and fishes are OK. Fat from wild fishes and from cows that had eaten grass is the best.

Ok got blabbering there, Sorry!!

I will do this for a few weeks now and see how it works for me. If I am getting severe problems I will abort or revise.

I am really sorry you have problems with eating high fat. :( I had similar problems with the orange juice and similar food for a while too after that low fat diet. But finally it passed.... Did you go to hospital and do check up as you have problems so long time now?

I also had problems with shedding hair when dieting "normally" (any food, low calories, essentially low fat) I lost about 1/4 of my hair or even more... :/ I have these annoying short hair sticking out all over my scalp... now it is closing to about 5-10 cm... haha. I hope I will not lose hair with this diet.
