Hi!! It's Day 4 on MFP for me, and things are going really well!
I really like this site so far, because of the combination of message boards and really great tracking tools.

I am jump-starting my diet (this time around... lol) by going low-carb for a few weeks, because it really does work for me.
I am especially looking for support buddies who are low-carbing, but interested in sharing ideas or thoughts with anyone.
Feel free to friend me. (include a short message please? :)
Take care and good luck to everyone!!!

    Good luck!

    There's a range of definitions of "low carb" - what are you following specifically?

    I follow the Primal Blueprint/Paleo lifestyle which tends to be lower carb naturally, due to the exclusion of fillers such as grains, soy, legumes, and sugar.

    i am doing a low carb, or should i say mostly low carb diet, the anabolic diet, someone on mfp turned me on to it.
    its nice because durning the week (after induction period) its very low carb/ hi fat and pro. but on weekends you carb load.
    i dont feel deprived cause i know ican have stuff i want on weekends. I plan to keep it very health stuff though. this weekend is my first carb weekend.
    oh and by the way i had creeped back up to where my ticker was reading 0 when i started this, thats what brought me to it was at the end of my rope, when a new friend helped me up (given props to Jnick77).

  • I am diabetic so I follow the American Diabetes diet. I do however have a friend that is not and that is the diet her physician recommended for her.

  • Hi Melanie,
    I'm just following my own lean meat, salad, eggs, olive oil (under 20 carbs) kind of thing for now.
    Great profile pic. Makes me miss my chocolate lab.
    Hope you have a great day.

    Thanks :smile:

    When I started with MFP I first halved my usual carb intake, and now I aim for around 100-150 a day. That's fairly easy to manage - I dont think I could keep to 20g a day for very long!

    I am just made it through my 2weeks of South Beach no-carb. I am now on a carb a day, till I loose the 80lbs!! Since I have to record what I eat on fitness pal, that helps me stick to what I say I am going to do.
