“When I switched last fall to low carb, higher fat, I lost 25 lbs in 2 months, and have lost another 5-6 lbs over the last 4 months”
What are examples of low carb, higher fat diets?

Eat less bread, sugar, tortillas, chips, potatoes, rice, or any of the simple starches.
Feel free to eat eggs, cheese, butter, meat, beans, green veggies, nuts, etc. Portion control is important. The idea is to reduce your eating, but not get the cravings and weakness that comes (for me) when on a low fat diet.
After watching me, my 30 year old daughter tried it and lost 10 lbs. Several co-workers of hers have tried it and also lost weight. I don’t think of it as a “diet”, but a way to eat for the rest of my life. Since it allows stuff like meats, bacon, cheese, etc, I find no trouble sticking to it. Just eat portions that allow you to get hungry at times - but without the headaches and cravings. When I eat bread, I just try to make sure it is a small portion of bread with a higher ratio of meat & fat.
At my physical last month, my blood sugar was down, cholesterol stable (and moderate), my weight was down, I’m wearing 30” jeans instead of 34”, etc. The government says eating like that ought to make me explode into a ball of cholesterol.
