    I used to, but I couldn't sustain it. I weaned myself off and never gained a pound back. Now I eat 100-200 grams of carbs per day.

    Hmmmm..... You'd have to eat a ton of veggies, I suppose. Were you told a specific amount in grams?

    I'm the same. My protein to carb ratio is 3:1. Try fiber supplements. I suggest nothing you have to stir in a glass!

    You want to aim for at least 30 for it to be a high fiber diet, but going over 40g will have your stomach on vacation

    but when I look at my diary, I certainly do not.

    I can't, I really can't. I live on them. It would probably benefit me, but every single thing I love and crave is carb heaven.

    I cycle and do 1 low carb day a week. I aim for <50 net carbs (carbs minus dietary fiber).

    No I was only told that adding more fiber would keep me clear of having any problems, A trainer at my my said high protein can mess with your bathroom schedule and to add some fiber, so I bought some fiber supplemnt gummies today, I checked my fiber limit on here and am always right under it or right at it

    I started doing no refined carbs after 4 pm and it seems to be working well for me! I lost 4 lbs last week. :)

    Depends on what my current goal is. Currently doing a sort of cyclical thing, so yes, for about half the week, I eat what you would consider low carb.

    I try to keep my carbs between 50-100 grams. I generally don't eat grains, I have an intolerance to wheat. I add ground flax to my shakes sometimes but try to eat veggies as much as possible.

    I have been trying to do low carb for a couple weeks now and it has been working out pretty well. I have cheated about once a week since begining though. I am trying to keep my carbs 50 grams and below a day and not eat carbs after lunch. In the morning I try and get in my strawberries, grapefruit, and orange or orange juice in and eat plenty of veggies through the day. I don't feel deprived which is nice!

    this ^^

    i tried to do low carb at first, but then i realized i don't need to :) of course, i would like a set of hot abs, which i don't have, and eating low carb would really help me get there.. but i just would not be able to do that and still be happy. more power to you all that are doing it!

    As of right now, I'm eating an extremely low carb diet just for three days or so. Normally I have around 100 to maybe 130 or more carbs a day.
