Hints and Tips

Smoked mackerel is just amazing!
The egg milk with chocolate flavour is just amazing!
Egg milk with chocolate flavour just after you've had smoked mackerel is horrendous.

Bottom line: Do not mix smoked mackerel and chocolate drink. Ever!

What is LCHF?

LCHF, or Low Carb High Fat, is a relatively new diet in Sweden promoted by Dr. Annika Dahlqvist.

It has been heavily debated but has been approved by The National Board of Health and Welfare as a diet as well as treatment for type 2 diabetes.

As you may have noticed, LCHF is similar to the Atkin's Diet which was also heavily debated when it was made popular in the 70.s.
The main difference is that with LCHF you eat less carbs and more fat than people dieting with Atkin's which makes it a more extreme version of it.

Getting all the numbers right when cooking can be difficult but a good way to start is to follow the 80-80-20 guideline and see how it goes. That means that in a day you eat

*80 grams of fat
*80 grams of protein
*20 grams of carbs.

This is then adjusted to the level which makes you feel good. Add more fat or reduce the carbs. It's all individual and there are no right's or wrong for anyone.

When shopping for food a good guideline is to never buy anything with more than 5 grams of carbohydrate per 100 grams.
