I wasn't able to do low-carb. I tried at least 4 times. Why did I try so many times? Because the weight MELTS off. It's like magic, and I'm not making that up.
The problem is that I seem to be incapable of sticking to it. It causes me to have incredibly strong cravings and after 3 or 4 months, I binge on something stupid like chocolate cake or pie and I can't bring myself to go back to it.
If I could do low-carb, I would. But I've proven to myself that I can't...so it's old-fashioned calorie counting for me. I would estimate that about 75% of my diet is healthy (lean meats, fruit, vegetables, nuts, eggs, etc...) and 25% crap.
It would seem that the 25% crap keeps me sane. My advice is for you to pick something you can stick with. If that's low carb, have at it.0
