Becuase your body NEEEDS carbs and SUGARS! JUST not an excessive amount and since I have no self control and can't limit my carbs I have to take baby steps and go from LOW carb intake to a mid HEALTHY range slowly over time, if that's okay with you?
Your body does need glucose but not dietary carbs, there is a difference.
i find you to be the most annoying person ive never met
Why? Because he deals in facts instead of opinions and conjecture?0 -
i just looked this up holy CRAP that's expensive. (aside from the fact that you can't target belly fat anyway)! I am following "The Belly Fat Cure" carb swap system by Jorge Cruise.0 -
I'd like to see those rats choose the Oreos over the cocaine:laugh:
Me too. 'cause I read the study, and that was not what happened.0 -

My mother's cardiologist told her if she would just cut her sugar and bread she would loose weight.
ETS: I did Atkins and had great results It is a lifstyle change though. You can gain the weight back if you stray bu that is with anything you try. I will be starting back on the induction phase tomorrow also.
I also find that when I cut food out, especially that which is pretty calorie dense, I also can lose weight.0 -
Following a low carb diet you will notice that your calorie content naturally get lower and your appetite goes down. Foods which are high in protein such as chicken will fill you up and they contain reasonably amount of calories and if you continue it for a fortnight or so you will see your appetite going down and you will naturally stay under 1200cal a day. When I did my high protein diet I couldn't eat more than 800cals in the day. Not because I was starving myself; but because the high protein supressed my appetite and I lost a stone in just over two weeks.
Additionally, this post is not meant for debate but just a voluntary option of following a low carb diet with me, I did not force anyone as everyone have their own ideas of what works and what doesn't and I am in no position to be giving professional information. A low calorie diet just cannot work for me as eating bad carbs such as rice and bread may make you feel satisfied for a few hours but does not fill me up and I end up going over my calorie limit. whereas if I follow a low carb I naturally stick to my under 1000 calories.0 -

I eat 160g+ protein per day much of the time - I can still eat a damn site more than 800 calories.

Hi guys,
A low carb diet can be as strict as you personally want it and depends a lot on your will power. The general rule I like to follow is:
No bread
No pasta
No rice
No potato
No junk
Sounds truly painful. Good luck guys, I could never do it!0 -
I've just started studying Nutrition, but I have to say that what I've researched is that low-carb diets are no-bueno. Your body goes into a carb-starvation mode, and as soon as you eat them again, your body compensates by overloading and you gain all the weight back, then some.
Instead, try to limit fat and sugar, which your body can synthesize enough of itself, but can lead to weight gain if eaten in excess.0 -
I have been low carb since Feb. of this year and have lost 66 lb. so far.
Would love to offer and receive support from like minded individuals!0 -

This is bunk! Don't buy into it! Do the research yourself!0 -

Limit fat? To how much? Isn't sugar a carb?0 -

You have a lot of mis-information here. There is no such thing as "carb-starvation mode". Your body does not compensate "by overloading" when you eat carbs again.
"The Art and Science of Low Carbohydrate Living" and "The Art and Science of Low Carbohydrate Performance" by Drs Phinney and Volek are good resources for those considering adopting low carb.0 -

You're talking about glycogen depletion and then the resulting upshift in weight when more carbs are re introduced (usually in an orgy of doughnut consumption) given increased fluid retention and glycogen I believe.
Carb starvation indeed...0 -

Hmmmm so glycogen supercompensation is a myth?0 -
As an engineer - you know, someone that uses science all day, every day - I can assure you he's right.
Welp everyone...the engineer hath spoken. You heard him. Game over.
Turns out there is no such thing as a sugar craving, nor addiction. Sugar and white flour don't in ANY way cause cravings, nor do they influence your brain to respond to it in such a pleasurable way that makes you want more of it. When you've eaten that cookie and you want another one and another one, it's really just that you're weak and stupid and have no self-control. Simple as that. There is absolutely, 100%, NOTHING going on biologically - not in your brain, nor your bloodstream - when you eat sugar. Your blood levels remain steady, your brain doesn't respond...it's all a big ruse created by looneys like me who want to sell you a bill of goods.
Oh, and when I personally stopped eating sugar and white flour I apparently did NOT stop craving my trigger foods after a couple weeks (even though I *felt* like it the cravings stopped - but apparently science contradicts the way I felt, so...my feelings must have been totally false - bummer). I did NOT lose weight because I had a new-found strength to stick to my calories since did not feel like eating baked goods all day long. No, I just suddenly, and without ANY reason whatsoever, stopped craving those things altogether because...well, just....because. Poof. It's that easy.
So what's your problem....right?
Acg is correct when he states that the studies the other poster put forth don't actually support her position. We are not rats. As another mentioned, if we had the same physiology as rats, there'd be no need for further studies beyond initial rat trials. You know - science.0 -
9 pages? You guys can do better than that!!!0

I just started my Keto diet about 2 days ago, so I would love to be included in your group. I need some inspiration, as it seems so easy to run back to the sugar and carbs.
I'm new to the world of dieting, as diets never worked for me. So my journey on Keto actually started out of a fear of getting Diabetes, Cancer or Alzeihmers later in my life. After lots of research i have found that the keto diet/LCHF is a good lifestyle diet to follow to minimize ones risk of these diseases.0 -

Why is rice a bad carb?
Yes but i ate only protein being chicken. And yogurt. And i could not eat more than 700calories. Plus people have different appetites and ways of functioning. Yet again as i mentioned i am in no way forcing snone to do a low carb diet but merely offering my support and gaining support of those who wish to do it with me.
Rice, pasta, potato and bread if you go to any doctor or health professional will tell you those 4 items contain the highest amount of carbs.0 -

Truly agree i dont believe that at all! No one way of dieting works for everyone plus you can still lose weoght by consuming good fats so giving up fats will be just foolish. Plus seeing as yu have just STARTED looking at nutrition i would much rather go slong with my doctor and gym instructors recommendations of following a low carb diet.0 -
I'd love to give this a try! I eat too many carbs as I'm a vegetarian and tend to replace my meat with carbs instead.. (Bad, i know:() So i would love to give this a try with other determined people to keep me motivated!0

You only ate chicken and yogurt totaling 700 calories and was full? I thought I had a low appetite. The fat levels with just eating that sounds horribly low to me.
I think I can find the amount of carbs without having to go to a doctor or health professional, especially as this app has them in the database. So, the carb density makes them bad?0 -

There is only so much protein one can have. Following the Dukan diet I lost 1 stone in just over a fortnight. My daily diet was 2 boiled eggs without yolk for breakfast. 3 boiled eggs (2 with yolk and 1 without) for lunch. And half a chicken for dinner. Snacking on fat free yogurt when hungry. Came to roughly 800calories and I burnt off about 400 calories 5 days a week. Consequently the weight came off! Right at the start I ate a lot of chicken then slowly couldn't finish my plate and came down to a quarter. Do not question it unless you try this for a month. Otherwise you're more than welcome to try any diet that you fancy.

Do not question? Really?
It seems like there is only so much protein *you* can have. I have a damn site more than that. And no thanks, I am doing perfectly well without that kind of restriction.
Also, why on earth would I want to try a diet that has such low calories that I risk losing muscle mass as well as having a bunch of hormonal issues and have my gym performance go to crap?0 -
I will like to try it.Now I'm doing LCHF.0
