So I have been having a hard time with my weight loss, keep going up and down. Doesn't help I'm stressed and work nights. But I have been thinking about doing a Low Carb diet. Any thoughts or advice on trying this out? I've never tried it before but been thinking about Atkins??

    In the past, I've faithfully done both atkins and paleo diets with good weight loss success. What happens with me though (and I know many others) is that once you reach a goal and decide you can eat carbs again, you begin to gain it all back.

    Most people on MFP find success by using the guided fitness goal tool (http://www.myfitnesspal.com/account/my_goals) and religiously logging their daily food intake.

    No diets work for me. The second I start thinking "diet", my mind rebels, and I feel deprived. I admire people that can stick to these diets. I just strive to eat nutritionally dense carbs like oatmeal and brown rice in appropriate portion sizes. Portion size is a big enough challenge for me :)

    I have a hard time sticking to a diet also. But I want and need to feel better about myself and I hear a lot of people do well with low carb diets. So I wan to give it a try.
