      There are low carb, Atkins and keto groups here you can join. I lost 40 lbs low carb and have kept it off even with managing to raise them back up carefully. Good luck!

      I am diabetic so I have to eat lower carb. I am not sure how low your talking though. I eat around 80 to 100 carbs a day. I eat 6 times a day too, 3 main meals and 3 snacks. I eat pretty healthy too. I have an open food diary if you want to take a peek. I also eat between 1200 to 1300 calories most days, but once in awhile, I will eat up to 1500 calories. If you want to be friends, send me an invite.

      I'm doing low carb too :) Always get stomach pains when I eat to much bread or pasta so the decision wasn't that hard to make ;)

      Any specific reason you're going low carb?

      There are several reasons i want to low carb.

      - I need to have a more disciplined plan to keep me on track.
      - When I eat carbs throughout the day i am always hungry and some times really feel like eating everything in site.
      - my body is so SLOW at losing weight, i need to put in sooo much effort in order to lose a lb.
      -i feel like I am carb sensative

      I have done this in the past and I know it will keep me in line and it works.
      I also want to look good on out upcoming trip in two weeks.

      Wake up. It's just food. When you stop low carbing it's going to come back. I tried it. Don't bother... just do what MFP is here for.

      And who said she's going to stop? I don't intend to stop low-carbing. I may raise my carbs up a bit when in maintenance, but I don't intend to go back to the way I used to eat because it wasn't good for me. I feel thousand times better eating low carb and high fat.

      I decided to go low carb about a wk. ago. I realized that everytime I ate a lg. amt. of carbs my stomach would just kind of puff out, lol. So, I've really only eaten rice cakes as pure carbs & so far, I think I'm pretty low. I love beans so that's my protein, never been a big meat eater, just skinless baked chicken & broiled fish. By beans I mean, black, red, pinto, garbanzo & believe it or not, I eat a whole can (low sodium) of course. It fills me right up but does cause quite a big of flatulence which is embarrassing. I also have been eating 6 prunes a day, lots of apples, vegetables, skim milk, green tea, iced water & since last Sat. I'm down 4 lbs. So, I must remain focused & diligent. I have high blood pressure & last week at work, I'm an LPN in a busy nursing home, I got out of breath & dizzy. Scared me. Then, a few days later, I got tightness in my upper left shoulder. The only other time that happened was when I excercised too hard. I've had a complete cardiac workup at Yale, which is close by to me. They said I checked out ok. But, now, I'm thinking of all the things I binged on & loved, cake, cookies, pastries, bagels etc. as poison. I'm actually breathing through my mouth when I walk by something tempting. So far it is working. And, I find that drinking the green tea just warms me up & fills me & takes my mind off of food.

      Anyone can feel free to add me. I am diabetic so low carb is a great thing for me. I started out at 50 carbs a day and now I am doing the Keto diet with about 17-25 carbs a day. I feel so much better.
