I just took a look at my fitday stats and for the last month, averages are 72% fat/ 22% protein / 6% carbs. To keep the fat high, I use 18% cream in my DD coffee, butter, mayo, real salad dressings, some cheese and I eat beef quite often.

I was eating a lot of macadamia nuts and heavy cream (35%) but I found that both slowed my weight loss. Probably wouldn't have been a problem if I could have been reasonable about the amounts, but I love whipped cream, and who can eat just a few nuts at one sitting?

High fat hasn't been a problem for me, but keeping calories up has been difficult. I didn't realize how low my calories were without all those high carb foods until I started recording at Fitday.

Sure, I'd like to twitch my nose and have the weight fall off, but losing 32 lbs in four and a half months isn't bad. I'm happy. Oh, and BTW, I'm one of those "older" bodies who are supposed to have a much harder time losing weight.
