Looking for low carb recipes

Carbs do not "go to your waist and stay there'. If they did, you would be a medical marvel and they'd lock you in a lab and study you like a rat. Seriously, what you are claiming is impossible.

It may be that because higher carb food items commonly have more calories, that when you eat more carbs you are inadvertently taking in more calories, causing you gain weight. But carbs in and of themselves do not cause weight gain. Only an excess of calories can do that.

Ok so yeah,, I think this will be my first BS call-- I will agree with this post somewhat in that for "normal" adults they don't.

But for some women- such as myself- with a medical condition like PCOS or hypothyroidism (I have both) carbs literally are the cause of my weight gain. I can eat the same amount of carbs as a normal person without going over my calories and I will gain weight while they will lose or maintain. Also perhaps if the OP says carbs do this to her- maybe she has an undiagnosed medical condition that she is just self treating with the low carb diet! Just saying there are possible factors that cause this exact scenario

Goldmine-- thank you thank you for posting this website!!! I have been struggling with this since my doc put me on a really low carb diet (30g/day) or atleast really low carb for me-- but with all of these yummy looking recipes- I think I will be doing better with it!
