I've been on WW for a while and lost 14lbs. I like it fine, but i hear that carb cycling will make the LBS come off quicker. I really have been inspired by Chris Powell and have started to use the plan from his book.

My plan is to stick with the carb cycling for several weeks. If it is not any faster than WW then I will go back to my WW plan. WW is way way easier to do.

Have any of you had good results with carb cycling?

    While I can't comment on carb cycling specifically, I will caution you against choosing approaches based solely on getting the fastest results.

    IMO, the smarter thing to do (not to mention having a greater chance of long term success) is to choose an approach that you can sustain for weeks/months/years and that will help you learn about things like portion control and enjoying a balanced diet made up of foods you like.

    Losing weight fast does you no good if you put it back on and have to lose the same weight again in 6 months.

    THIS^^^^ Excellent advise. What's the rush?
