Is This Place Low Carb Friendly?

I am an avid low carber and have been pretty much my entire adult life. I feel that it's the best way for me to lose weight and keep it off.

I'm here to lose about 50 pounds of weight I gained from having a baby 2 months ago and some before that. I'm going through the food section of fitnesspal and it's putting me on a restricted calorie diet and calories is not what I"m watching, carb is.

Anyone else here doing low carb?

    May wanna see if there's a group to join, as this board is not very low carb friendly to answer honestly.

    You should look in the groups for low-carb, Atkins, Primitive, Paleo or similar groups to join. I did The main boards can open you up to a lot of scrutiny and nay-sayers, but you'll find everyone on here from vegetarians to carnivores.


    Welcome to the sight! Check in on the "Success stories" thread for motivation.

    Im a recent low carber convert myself...There are some low carb groups. I really like a lot of things about MFP, but the fact taht I cant tailor the guide to my specific diet is frustrating. While it lets me track my carbs it doesnt seem to like when I adjust all my other daily goals to coincide...

    But thats okay. I assume those following other diets are the same.

    I had to adjust my caloric goal becuase even though I was meeting my low carb goal ever day, MFP didnt recognize that as a success...

    It is what it is though and its still one of the best trackers I have seen. I wore a body media fit band for two years and HATED their data base...

    Good luck!

    You can adjust the macronutrients to whatever you want, go to the Food tab then Settings and also My Home tab and Goals.
