Read the book, get energized and feel great. 30grams carbs a day puts you in ketosis, your canabalizing your own muscle and probably feeling like crap. I know I would when doing no carb plans. Don't be afraid of healthy carbs. The program is high carb day followed by no carb day with no fats on the high carb day. Don't get alarmed at the high carb day its really just a higher carb day. You'll eat lots of protein every day but equal your protein with countable carbs on high carb days. So they really aren't that high. Eveyday you'll gorge yourself with vegtables(non starch veggie) as these are freebies. Its a simple plan but read the book and read it again. I've had a slow metabalism for a long time with all the blame pointing to me and eating very little. I will say even though my calorie count hasn't changed that much I feel that I'm always eatting and full on ctl and loosing not gaining. I wish everyone sucess in their goals and not luck. Its all about determination and drive.....

I have over 100 to loose, and have done low carb in the past, specifically South Beach. With SB I weighed less than I do now, and managed to loose about 5 pounds over 2 months. Very frustrating. I've been on CTL since June. My first 2 weeks were on vacation with my mom, surrounded with one week of travel on each side. That first month I lost almost 10 lbs. Needless to say I was very excited. I hit my first 10% down in 2.5 months, with little excercise. I'm almost to the end of my first 90 days, and I'm almost down 30 lbs! This week, I'm trying to be more consistant with the exercise. We'll see how that goes.

I have had trouble with every diet I have tried... this is the first one that I feel like I can do for the rest of my life!
