    Welcome! :flowerforyou: In my humble opinion, depriving your body of any particular food is no good. Portion control and will power are the keys.... and boy are those hard to come by! Good luck on your journey!!

    Good luck..I can certainly understand the starting over...I too did the low carb thing and it was successful for me without issues...but just couldn't eat that way forever. So I went to a nutritionist, and for the first time in my life...I'm having NO issues whatsoever losing the weight I've been trying to get off since my youngest was born 17 yrs ago...She has been a miracle worker, and her concept is very easy. She explained to me that our bodies were not created to process all these "processed" foods, diet or otherwise, and that I was keeping myself fat by consuming them. She taught me about "clean" eating, and how to only eat foods in its natural state..such as fresh lean meats, fresh veggies, and only higher carb foods before 5pm. I can't tell you how much better I feel, and how easy it truly has been. When she first said it, I said no way..couldn't do it. Well, I've lost 25 lbs, in two and a half months, and my husband has lost 19...I'm eating a little cleaner than he is..lol, but it's been amazingly easy, and now I am confident this will be a life change because I don't even like processed foods anymore, or the sugary foods I was so addicted to. And tracking what I eat on this site has been key as well, I was eating more than I was aware of. I hope it is as successful for you as well. Keep up the good work.

    I'm Not Depriving Myself at all:laugh: Why would you think that?? I'm Eating 1800 to 2000 calories a day. And I exercise over 45 min a day, Some people lose weight faster than others and I just so happen to be one of those people. But it was nice meeting you though.

    Low Carb.
    I think giving up any food group is bad.

    Congrats on the weight loss and I wanted to ask one question, what are you eating for supper that is lower carbs? I am trying to get back on track again too, I had lost 45 and have put back on 6 and my ticker lies(LOL) because Im not a techie and don't know how to change it. But if you are eating carbs after 5 pm what kind are they because we never get to supper till 6 or 7 and I'm interested in finding something else besides the potato for a side dish. Again congrats on the weight loss!

    Just click on Tools and then tickers, And next click on Update weight loss data. But when I was doing low carb I would have chicken bacon bit salad with ranch dressing and a cup of sugar free Jello Or a Steak Salad, I still make my salad even though I'm now doing low carb Anymore.

    I've not eliminated carbs by any means...I just make sure I consume all my carbs at breakfast, which is alot of them, and lunch, which is a little less. I don't believe in eliminating either, and moderation is the key, including moderation! I fluctuate daily on how many carbs I eat, but I try to stick to 90 grams a day or less. For dinner I cook lean fresh meats, and two veggies instead of carbs. I always keep a supply of fresh diced veggies in fridge along with lettuce always in my spinner bowl so that I can put one together in a flash. I have containers of cucumber, tomatoes, shredded carrots, celery, zucchini, and just whatever veggies we like on a salad always ready in the fridge. So dinner is lean meat, and a nice salad, never the same so we don't get tired of it, and another vegetable.

    Sorry about that, I think I misunderstood your post lol. Yeah Giving up any type of food is bad for the Body. Girl It took me a year to find that out for Myself lol. I miss my Fruit and the Variety of things I can still eat without depriving myself but In moderation so that's cool, Sorry I will go back and change my post.

    Np...no need to change it...just didn't want you to think I eliminated them, because I think they are important as well. Especially natural carbs versus otherwise. :happy: Clean eating is just a balance I can very much appreciate and live with very well. It's not always in restaurants, because everything is about convenience today, but finally getting this off and feeling better is so worth the extra effort you go to when you give up the convenient processed foods. Good luck in your journey!

    No worries.
    Often tone and intention can be misrepresented/misinterpreted with typed word.
    Glad we are back in sync though :wink:
