    Well in the last 2 days i have lost 5 pounds by eating up to 4 grams of carbs and not watching my fat or protein intake. (2 eggs for lunch, 2 eggs and 2 hamburger patties for dinner and one day i had 1 serving if salad)

    5 lb in 2 days huh? And you think only 4 grams of carbs did this?

    Sure did....the water weight alone

    low carb makes me feel crappy. I start dreaming of french bread. Not worth it for me.

    The only carbs i crave are junk. I always crave sweets like cakes and cookies.

    This is all you ate?

    So how many calories did this amount to per day?

    I'm going to leave this here...

    Sigh...I just find it so sad that someone will do this to themselves.

    I do a modified 5:2 diet. I eat a smaller deficit 5 days and the other 2 days at a larger deficit. Traditionally those 2 days would only be 500 calories but I just can't go that low so I upped it to between 800-1000. The combined deficits gives me about 1 1/4 lb loss per week with about 45lbs left to lose.

    My requirements are less that the OP's...she is 27 and I am 62.

    I don't get it...with the information that is available to us there is no need in someone trying to starve themselves to lose weight.

    OP...I read in your profile that you are a mother of 5...for their sake...do this right...those kids deserve a healthy mother.

    The french are thin. It might have to do with the diet and lifestyle surrounding the fragrant french bread.

    If you haven't been hungry for 10 years and only eat very little, how is it that you are trying to lose weight?

    This. And hunger is not a very good indicator of eating too little.

    You need to eat more.

    If this is your appetite for the last 10 years how did you get to be 100lbs over weight?

    No one eats that little and becomes 100lbs over weight.

    and your name - fatmomma - how do you get to be a "fatmomma" if you have no appetite and can't eat more than a couple eggs and patties in a day - I think that is what people are trying to understand!

    You've lost some water. And maybe a tiny bit of weight.

    I'm not opposed to low carb dieting, but do hope you're being realistic and smart.

    if you don't know how to track your carbs, how do you know you consumed only four grams of carbs?

    For some reason every time I see these threads with the question mark, I read it in the same kind of voice as "you holding?"
