I lost 50 pounds in 4 months, wasn't hungry after the 3rd day. (no exercise for 4 months)</p> <p>Then back to low fat, calorie counting, jogging. Weight started coming on again. Went online, Started reading....... </p> <p>Taubes, Sisson, Briffa, Eades, Wolf, Leangains, Lean Saloon, PHD, Kresser. Guyenet, Harris, Masterjohn, FTA. LLVLC and many more. (Despite being a lapsed 1974 biology post grad I'd heard nothing of epigenetics. I got very excited about that in feb 2009) I forgot the low fat mantra (took a year not to feel guilty from the CW brainwashing) Did quite a lot of Dolson (low carb) to help break away from bread/cake/pasta shaped food.</p> <p>Lost the belly again, lifted a little bit, ran a little bit, cold showers for 2 year. Settled into paleo+butter/hwc, for 3 years so far. Feel good!</p> <p>Point of all this rambling is that it was the commercial ketogenic VLCD that finally introduced me to the fact that i could quickly, simply and easily influence my body to 'burn fat' by how i ate, and I am very grateful for that.</p> <p>I'm 60. 5ft 8in. I weigh 155lb. (My father and brother, both 5ft 8in, died age 63 and 71. both 240lb+) </p> http://paleohacks.com/questions/100560/scientific-evidence/100592#100592 Answer by old croc for scientific evidence old croc 2012-02-26T21:36:18Z 2012-02-26T21:36:18Z <p>Your own body hasn't got the time for wait for research proof.

So no help there. Met an (overweight) NHS <strong>bariatric</strong> nurse last year.</p> <p>She said going into ketosis (as indicated by ketostiks) was an illness to be avoided at all costs! </p> http://paleohacks.com/questions/100560/scientific-evidence/100592#100592 Comment by old croc old croc 2012-02-27T06:55:28Z 2012-02-27T06:55:28Z sorry..'simple' was perhaps the wrong word to use. 'obvious' probably better. it is to me anyway. I can't beleive it took me 57 years to spot it! The mechanism is still 'ancient', the fuel supply is too new. vegetarianism is simple but its not obvious. http://paleohacks.com/questions/90032/blueberries-coconut-butter/90040#90040 Comment by old croc old croc 2012-01-13T20:53:54Z 2012-01-13T20:53:54Z cocoloco=cocomotion? http://paleohacks.com/questions/28503/does-anyone-have-any-studies-which-support-what-we-believe-about-carbs-fat-obes/28507#28507 Comment by old croc old croc 2011-03-20T20:00:53Z 2011-03-20T20:00:53Z To clear up this ketosis comment; The NHS bariatric nurse came to me as she was overweight and I am a VLC meal replacement consultant. She needed to lose weight but nothing she knew would help her. There was nothing I could do as the ketosis generated by a VLC program was NOT acceptible to her. This was the 'ketosis' she was afraid of! Last I heard she had a gastric band fitted! So much for the NHS bariatric advice!
