    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 ;)
    ^^Same with me. Carb hunger pangs are way worse too. You get hungry more gradually on low carb, and the hunger pangs are gentler, not painful like carb hunger pangs.
    However, I have taken a lot of flak here on MFP for doing it, people seem to have trouble with the phrase 'low carb' with people criticizing & unfriending me for seeing my diary and how I eat. In fact, this is a new acct. Veggies are carbs!! And I eat plenty of those! I liked the suggestions earlier about joining specific group for it. Will do it. Thx all (:

    I live low carb, you can add me, diary is open, it really helped me to have a few rules that stick to as much as possible.

    No refined sugar
    No artificial sweeteners unless naturally derived
    No wheat or gluten
    No potatoes, rice, pasta or flour
    Very little cheese (a treat)
    Very little fruit (because I'm really sensitive to carbs and convert them easily to fat)

    This really helped me to cut out all the carb crap I was eating - going cold turkey (so to speak)
    Now I don't want it and eat it in small amounts - it's really hard to avoid completely. I am losing fat steadily but more importantly I have created a life-long habit so I will never put if back on.

    The extra fat and protein I now eat support my ramped up exercise routines - I do about 7 hours a week of weights/badminton/circuit training/walking/stairs

    I'm the girl who doesn't do carbs! (And I am guided and monitored by a personal trainer with loads of nutrition qualifications and she monitors me with calliper measurements to make sure my body is getting what it needs so I can make macro adjustments as required.)

    Add me if you like :-)

    By all means, if you like low carbs have at it. I'm just curious though... your trainer, how does she make adjustments to your macros? Looking back at your diary you don't have any consistency with the macros so how do you determine what is working or what isn't without a baseline.

    You can add me too...I tried the Ideal Protein diet for a few weeks as a promotional trail at work and loved it. It's low carb, high protein and it taught me alot about how bad carbs can be. I felt great while doing it, and lost 15lbs in 3 weeks. Unfortunately my husband and I relocated to a new State and now where around here offers the program. So I'm going low carb on my own...send me a request....I could use the support :)

    going low carb here. Mostly protein, dairy and veggies, since my new office job makes it very hard to active- need to accommodate for the lack of activity.
