    why would you want to do this? seriously...

    Uh, to lose fat. durr. :laugh:

    In all seriousness, i'm not a MFP newbie, i've lost a load of fat and i'm struggling at the moment.
    I'm looking for something different to try to kick my motivation up.
    Having never done a "diet" before i thought trying low carb for a short period would be worth a trial.

    Struggling? with losing or staying the course with logging etc.

    Logging and evening food binges.
    I've put on 14lb in the last 6 months after getting so close to where I want to be (see my ticker below).

    bump part 2.

    I'm just starting the low carb lifestlye for medical reasons, how low do you want to go in carbs a day? I heard that for Keto it is 50g or less.

    Edited: sorry I just re-read the OP, less than 30g


    Here are some things I have found to have very low carbs so far...greens, veggies, eggs (I've been making deviled eggs), nuts, chicken, fish

    I like your bumps terrapin - thats the core of the problem/question.
    Iifym calories in / out just isn't cutting it at the moment.
    I need to change something to expect a different result.

    Are you hungry at your current calorie intake? Is that why you maybe aren't logging everything and binging?

    Feel free to check out mine, its public. 50g net carbs is as low as I've went though, below that I found I would have to cut out things I would rather keep in my diet personally :) These days I'm not so precious about keeping to the 50g, and my carb intake can vary from 50 to about 80g, and as I get closer to my goal I plan to bring my carbs back up, aiming for a moderate level of about 150g by the time I reach my target :)

    Eating seems to fuel my hunger. I won't be too hungry beforehand, but then I'll eat dinner and then just want to keep on eating.
    Also boredom seems to be a little bit of a problem.

    Like an alcoholic, the worse thing is once i start evening snacking i can't stop. I just need to get better at ignoring those urges (like i used to when i was awesome at this whole weight loss thing)
