I've tried it twice in the past, neither times did I enjoy myself.

Carbs aren't going to make you fat, just watch your calories.

Yes, I have. I was really fit when I did a low carb-high protein diet, but I also was strict on my diet and exercise regime as well. So it's hard to know which worked in my favor. Nonetheless, I'm more into eating whole foods now; while taking everything in moderation. For instance, I still eat "carbs", but in moderation. FYI, I did find however that watercress is an extremely low calorie dense food. You should check it out!

Great thanks for that am trying the best I can to watch my calories and loving MFP that I can just scan everything

primary point of it, i believe, is to lose fat and hang onto as much muscle as possible while losing weight

I try and keep my carbs under 100grams/day. I've found that when I do that, my cravings for sweets (my total downfall) are at bay. I've been back at it since 12/1 with relatively minor slips (mainly wine related...) and I'm down about 8lbs on a diet of 1200-1600 calories per day.... I have 12 more lbs to go.

I have been trying to keep my calories to 1000 to 1200 per day
