    Personally, I couldn't do it. I tried for about a month, but I realized that all the foods I love (mostly fruit, oatmeal, greek yogurt) contained carbs and that I didn't eat low enough carbs to be classified as the low-carb diet. I switched to clean eating, which honestly is similar because I don't eat bread or processed carbs, but I just couldn't stick with the low carb forever. Good luck to anyone that can! I have heard that if you can stick with it and make it a lifestyle that it works wonders.

    I'm on a ketogenic diet, low carb, high fat diet myself.
    I try to keep my net carbs (carbs minus fiber) under 20-25grams a day and try to do 65% fat, 30% protein and 5% carbs of my calorie intake :)
    My Diary is Public, so anyone and everyone can see what I eat, it may not be the most perfect example of keto/lowcarb, but It's what works for me at the moment :tongue: Everyone and anyone, feel free to poke around/add me if you'd like :blushing:
    My success is listed below, and my boyfriend has lost 51lbs on the Keto diet himself (he's been on it longer than i have) so it's been really really successful in our opinion :happy:
    Try to research it first if your still thinking about it, low carb is NOT for everyone, but it does work out for some of us. :wink:

    I had a look in your diary because I have been interested in low carb... but you actually tend to eat about 40+ g carbs (at least the 10 days I looked at) and some of the things logged don't even have the macros (chicken wrapped in bacon has 0 proton, fat and carbs?)

    I don't want to be critical because I think it's great you have goals etc but make sure that you reassess what your diary tells you, not what you /want/ it to tell you. I always go on about avoiding sugars but then I end up having my chocolate every day so instead I just tend to not eat fruit/anything containing sugar so that this fits my meal plans.

    I personally couldn't eat red meat every day, I think I would be stuck trying to go to the toilet all the time with no success if it were the case haha! Bring on lots of veggies :D

    oh hey...for the record...I say "woof!" as a way of saying "righty-o!"

    I love dogs.

    When i look at taso's back, it makes me go "woof!" *wags tail* *pants* *drools a little*

    Perhaps you could reconsider that? A lot of people would think you were calling them a dog like that - same as when people make oinking or mooing sounds at someone, it's to say that the person making the sounds thinks they're a pig or disgustingly fat. So it's more like a form of abusive comment.

    Others would just think of an attention seeking 13 year old making animal noises because they think it makes them special and funny.


    But it's up to you. The vast majority will ignore you.

    I have no interest in the "vast majority" and what's up with the insults? Geez!

    Caw! Caw!

    ETA: anyone who has seen young Frankenstein knows that "woof!" Is a good thing!


    No insults there.

    Just letting you know that your innocent animal noises could be interpreted differently by different people. Some (many, as not everyone has seen the old movie you now refer to by explanation) could be very hurt by your choice of comments. Plenty would make a negative judgement of you as a result. In real life, you could find yourself in potentially awkward situations as a result.


    If I were insulting you, not that I intend to do so, it would be a whole lot more obvious than explaining how your actions could be offensive to others.

    I am not following any "diet" per se. But, I did adjust my goal on MFP so that my carbs were 30%, protein was 50%, and fat was 20% of my daily intake and it seems to be working so far. I have been doing this since Wednesday and lost 2 lbs. I know Adkins only wants you to take in like 25 carbs for the day, and I am getting like 80. I also just read an article that said to keep your water and potassium consumption up. So, I will make sure to do that too.

    Woof, woof, barroooooo!

    Incidentally, the above comments are the emulation of what my happy beagle says when she's on a scent, or enjoying life as a dog with a very busy nose. To me, her bays are music to my ears.

    Offense is subjective -- what one person feels is offensive might be music to another person's ears.

    Beagles are great. Mine sounded more like 'owowowowowoooohmmmmpffff'.

    But I wouldn't imitate his noises when walking past a girl or woman, lest she was upset or angry by thinking I was calling her a dog.

    haha. Well, I also don't go into forums and just say "woof" at random girls. I agree that the poster who did that was being a douche.

    I was just saying, ya know, in defense of other posicore folks who many "woof" here and there excitedly that it is not universally an insult!

    Low carb/keto is sub 100g of carbs per day. She is doing low carb/keto.

    You are thinking of CKD which is sub 30g per day from no direct sources.

    There is also TKD which is targetting carbs around waking and training.

    Many forms of keto, and up to 100g carbs in said diet.
