For me, I've been cutting down on carbohydrates a lot. It's important have enough calories and to make sure you're eating enough! Eat smaller portions and more often! It may not work for you, but it works for me.

    Yeah, ok

    I love carbs...they make up about 50% of my diet

    Yes to eating enough

    No to starvation mode ...LOL ...bro-science

    Frequency no issue you can eat one huge meal a day if you wish

    No.

    And No, some more.

    Where does this misinformation come from?

    Why/how does it keep spreading?

    Starvation mode is a myth. Meal size/frequency is personal preference. Nice try, though.

    Strong first post.

    No offence, OP, but you need to read a bit more or the local wolves will eat you alive.

    So you're not a wolf tonight?

    What works for me may not work for you guys. Everyone has an opinion. You might not agree with me, and I might not agree with you.

    While lowering carbs and eating frequently may help you adhere to your plan and reach your goals, they are not necessary for weight loss. Opinions are great, but science trumps opinions
