Experiences with LCHF 
Telaine and Derek have lost over 250lbs or 114kgs since early 2014, along with Telaine coming off of her diabetes medication! This amazing couple run the increasingly popular blog Low Carb Island where they promote a Low Carb High Fat Keep It Simple Sweetheart lifestyle or LCHF KISS for short. The blog is full of recipes , success stories and most importantly support for those attempting to become healthier and slimmer.

They experimented on what affects their weight and may measure weekly.
Derek can also have a little bit more carbs than his wife and will eat a baked potato each week.
Using this approach they say the weight may come off slower but you feel you will learn better.
They are interested in the simplicity approach to their eating and mention their 6 year old and lunches.
