    I recently started Atkins. I'm not logging calories for the moment, but I can still provide support if you are interested. Feel free to add me!

    I'm normally on a low carb diet. I've lost 85 (won't log it until tomorrow morning) in almost eight full months. After you get the hang of it, you change it to however you want. At least, this is my opinion. :D

    I have recently discovered I may be gluten intolerant so instead of calorie counting or high protein, Im doing paleo. I need to nourish my body so it can get better. I do calorie count some days, just to make sure im keeping myself in check. I have lost 6 lbs so far, which is likely water weight, but who knows. Send me a friend request! im always talking about what im eating.

    I'm on a low carb. I am glutton intolerant and spike with sugars. I do log all my food. I think it makes you more accountable. My calorie goal is set at 1200, but that is only a check point. Add me if you want.

    I love when people pre-condition public threads with conditions about how can or cannot comment …

    join the low carb group if you don't want a public discussion about low carb….

    I am doing carb cycling. Two days low around 20-30g and one day high around 150-175g. You can add me if you like. I log everything!

    My diet is low carb for the most part. I avoid sticking to any one type of diet like Paleo or Adkins because while I am dieting I am also trying to set myself up for success once I hit my fat % goal and adjust to non diet mode.

    Feel free to add me for my commentary on my traditionally non traditional diet journey.

    If you are doing low carb, make sure you up your fats and proteins.

    I think OP prefaced the thread in such a way that kind of closes it off for debate.

    It's to try and head off the trolls before they start their rant about how bad it is for you to go low carb/keto/etc. she's letting you know her personal choices are not up for debate but if you want to be friends that's great. All this post is about, nothing more, nothing less. But some people like to troll so.......

    Why does it need to be debated? and why does it need to be open?
    If you want a debate, then open a thread yourself.

    Set your macros accordingly. My macros are set 75% fat, 20% protein and 5% carbs. Go to "goals" on the homepage and choose "customized" and then set it there.

    I've been low-carb for over a year now. Attitude has improved, allergies have disappeared, energy levels have gone up... I've been doing c25k since last March, have run 3 "official" 5ks since September. I honestly can't imagine ever going back. The key is to pretty much abandon processed foods, stop trying to find substitutes for the foods you used to eat... Focus on fatty cuts of meat (ironically, they're cheaper, so you spend about the same), healthy oils like coconut & olive, nuts, cheese, etc. Reddit's http://reddit.com/r/keto/ is a pretty helpful place, and http://tinyurl.com/njq8gnt is a great script to show "net carbs" on MFP.

    I did Atkins in the past and recently learned I have a gluten allergy - i follow almost paleo/primal (I do eat grassfed dairy). I started a group for people like me if you want to join, it is mostly low carb - and don't let the name fool you - ages are now 18-66 :) Read the description and feel free to join if you want a non-judgey group. I can't stand the lectures against low carb! Been dealing with that since '99.

    http://www.myfitnesspal.com/groups/home/19238-40-is-the-new-20 or friend me for support.
