Although once you gain good control you may well be able to increase the carbs in your diet as I have.
I find that when I do eat more fat I just put on weight as you have. The very fact that you reduce the carbs in your diet means that you will eat a higher percentage of fat even without eating more of it.
LCHF doesnt have to mean stuffing yourself with extra cheese and cream it just means cutting back on carbs, in fact it works better if you dont as you may well lose your insulin resistance as I have

Methinks Sid's suffering from a memory lapse
remember the why I don't Low carb thread at DCUK What Sid neglects to say is he his on a very low calorie diet reducing carbs without increasing cals from either fat or protein is testament to that
LowCarber dream on anyone who considers cornflakes as part of a low carb diet is seriously deluded
