I'm very interested in your hard work JTI . I too am having cardiological problems after using lchf diet to lose weight. I overate on protein unbeknown it wasn't quite the right ratios of nutrients. I experienced palpatations, dizziness and no weight loss.
I am planning on a better attempt at lchf with far less protein in the new year. I'm happy to celebrate xmas carefully.
Would you keep me inform as to how your heart disease progresses, or not.
Hope your new diet has now settled down.
Someone once said extreme diet changes can upset the heart, slowly slowly might be the way forward?
 
It's palm size for protein or if weighing it's 4ounces at lunch-time and 7ounces at dinner. If having an egg for breakfast it's 1 egg, if at lunchtime or dinner it's 2 eggs. That's what I think anyway from what I've learnt over the years starting with Weight Watchers in 1975. :D
 
It's easy to get too much protein on LCHF, that's why I bulk up on the veggies....

Very true Martin. I make it rule for myself - a portion of protein to 2 portions of veggies drenched in natural fats - very often melted cheese and butter plus home made mayo. If I still feel hungry, a can of coconut cream will do the trick!
 
I would like to do that gkhchay but I worry about my liver. It's dicky at times. o_O
