Reducing carbs significantly...help!?!

kittens2cute

I'm a carboholic that I believe needs to reform. I can't get this belly fat to go away, no matter how much I work out. And I know that over 50% of my diet is carbs. I think my digestive system is finally rebelling after 39 years. So....yesterday I made the decision (after long thought...) to cut about 90% of my carbs out. This is going to be a HUGE change for me, but a necessary one. I'm looking for anyone who would like to support me (warning...there WILL be whining involved...) and give me ideas for meals. Luckily my husband is all on board with this (he does the cooking) and is willing to try pretty much any recipe I put in front of him. Thanks all!

You might do a search for the low carb group here. There is a ton of helpful information there. You'll have to ask to join but you'll get a lot more helpful suggestions without the ones telling you not to do it.

I was diagnosed with diabetes last July and had to cut the carbs bc of that. I went kind of drastic in the beginning, and since July I have lost 30 lbs just by changing my diest. However it has been difficult and even my diabetes nutritionist said to not kill myself trying to resist every carb on the planet but to eat smart and in moderation. I just make sure to eat smaller portions of carbs, or if I know I am going to be somewhere that I want to indulge (like a wedding with wedding cake) I just cut carbs at the other meals.
I am eating a lot of greek yogurt and fruit for breakfast. If I get a breakfast sandwich I automatically throw away the top bun. I get carrot sticks with chicken wings instead of fries. I have nuts and cheese for snacks. I honestly dont really pay attention to my calories, but I'm going to start tracking just to see what I'm eating.

Most low-carb people on MFP hang out in this group! Request to join and you'll find lots of help there!

I've been very low carb for a year and half and absolutely love it.

Same here! For me it works well. I have PCOS and insulin resistance so my body may not handle carbs as well as most people's. But I overall feel better when I eat lower carb, and I find it much easier to stick to my calorie goal.
