    i would die without carbs... cutting out carbs would be like putting lemonade into your cars gas tank...

    actually its probably more like trying to run a gasoline engine on pure ethonol.

    it kinda works and kinda doesn't... but do it for too long and your asking for it.

    your brain supposedly starts running on keytones... whatever they are lol

    I apologize for not wording it correctly....No need to attack Me! Geez...

    I hope you know that there were no malicious feelings, thoughts, or vibes in my comment toward you. Nor was what I said an attack - implied or direct.

    I am being 100 percent truthful.
    If I tried to eliminate carbs from my diet - good, bad, or indifferent... I'd be miserable and would go into binge mode.

    And I do, honestly, wish you luck.

    lol i was just thinking the same thing.

    its not easy.

    I'm eating 2100 cals, and its tough for me to stay around 40g.

    i've read that under 50g is ok but around 20 g is optimal.

    i don't eat any fruit or vegitiables (or grain obviously). All of my carbs come from nuts, peanut butter, eggs and whey protien.

    you'd have to basically eat ONLY meat to go zero carb.

    20 to 50 grams of carbs is optimal for what? Crashing and burning...?

    all joking aside, my aunt, who started out at about 270 pounds, decided to do adkins. she was under the impression that she could have anything high in fat / protien with very little / no carbs... honest to god, she was eating spoon fulls of butter, amongst other things... she has done very well on her diet... been a few months, and she has stayed strict to it... has gained about 30 pounds... id say she is pushing 300 now...

    ill take my evil dirty bad carbs, i like being able to function and move!

    Are you doing Atkins, Keto, or something else? I'm doing Keto, and keeping my carb intake below (or right at) 20g / day. I have never felt better! As opposed to what most people on here think, you actually will have more energy, because ketones are a better fuel for your brain than carbohydrates. You should check out http://www.reddit.com/r/keto/ if you need any info on Ketosis. Good luck with your weightloss journey! I wish you the best!
  • I tried it for one day and felt horrible. I'd much rather eat what I want at a deficit and have energy and be happy.

    I have PCOS and am insulin resistant with auto-immune liver disease. I try to stay under 120g per day. Any lower and I'd never succeed.

    Add me if you want.

    I've been under 30 carbs for the past few months and feel amazing. I run every day (lighter on lifting days) and still have plenty of energy. After I got through the initial hell of my brain shutting down on me for the first few days, everything has been great. I don't even crave carby foods like I used to.

    Some people dig it, some people hate it.
  • Isn't it weird how you asked for some support and go a whole lot of stupid......


    In between that some nice people, hope you get the support you were looking for. There's something for everyone here I guess.

    My carbs hover between 20-40g per day, I have lost 153 lbs and still going, and I have the most energy now than I have ever had in my life :)

    It is doable. The body works in mysterious ways!

    Atkins is what I follow. I usually get between 15-20 net carbs a day. I'm on day 12 and feel amazing!!! I get most of my carbs from vegetables but also from 1/2 and 1/2 and heavy cream etc...I no longer crave starches or sugars either.
