    I did low carb several times and each time lost a crap ton of weight. But I felt TERRIBLE! I had no energy to do anything! It was terrible. If I didn't eat every two hours I'd start to get nauseated. My doctor told me to go lower carb because of my stomach issues and I told her she was freakin crazy. I went low carb and all it did was make my stomach issues worse.

    I am not saying that it doesn't work...it does. But it's NOT for me! LOL!

    I EAT ALL THE CARBS

    and oh wait, I lost weight..... strange how that works. Guess my body missed the "stored as fat" signal or something.

    Unless you have a medical issue, eating carbs and or fats will not make you gain or retain fat- eating at a calorie surplus will.

    Eat at a caloric deficit, be mindful of macros, and exercise- you can eat whatever you want!

    I don't believe in all that low carb nonsense. I lost 116 pounds, and I eat a ****load of carbs every day.
    Just eat healthy, and move your *kitten*. Stay around your food goal and the fat will burn.
    Simple as that.
    Never hit a plateau either. Not in 19 months. Aren't all those no-carbers always the ones hitting the plateaus? :-)

    i wish i could copy this!!! So true and bananas are just as fattening as cookies!!!!!

    Bananas as fattening as cookies? You're joking right?

    I eat a banana literally every single day. They aren't nearly the same thing as eating a cookie, not by a long shot. Yes, sugar and carbs are present, but it's not refined sugar or simple carbs like a cookie. Come on now.

    I eat low carb (ok, well, more like "slow carb") because I have PCOS and that's what I have to do in order to lose weight/maintain weight loss. But PLENTY of people eat regular amounts of carbs and do just fine. No one diet plan is "right" or "wrong", everyone's personal body chemistry is different.

    i am proof positive that low carb is very much sustainable and works, especially as treatment for pcosers out there. i tried the calories in/ out thing for two years with strength/cardio training and the weightloss was next to nothing with twice the amount of effort as a normal body. basically torture for me. i have never had as much energy than when low carbing. im in it for life. tons of awesome lifelong sustainable recipes out there.but for those with no insulin resistance ..or other medical issues.by all means do what works best for you. we're all different:) why so much animosity toward lowcarbers i wonder....
