    Have at it...but realize that it's certainly not necessary.

    40 Lbs down and still down going on 2 years just eating a balanced and overall very nutritious diet.

    I hate most carbs - they bloat me and make me hungry after I have eaten them ! Low carb low fat ( as I dont like fats ) all the way for me :) ( 112 down )

    I lost 42 pounds and have stayed down for just over 2 years I stopped drinking soft drinks.now i only drink water and v8 and watch my calories if u use this app a lot it find ur self looking at everything u buy for calories and nutrition like I do and weigh urself every day that keeps u on track and take one day a week (cheat day) where u can eat like u wanna just not over do it .

    Do a search - there are lots of LC threads going on right now and you might find a lot of information. :)

    Personally, LC only worked for me when I also restricted my calories. Since that was the case and since I missed carbs, I dropped LC (eventually - tried many times) and now I just control my calories without it. Same amount of calories, basically. IOW, I wasn't able to eat more calories while LCing and still lose weight or anything like that.

    It did make my bloating go down almost immediately (usually on the third day), but interestingly, I find that eating at a calorie deficit even with the higher carbs, my bloating is way down. It took longer for it to happen, but it has definitely happened.

    I maintained on LC for about 13 years, gained for 2 due to other circumstances getting more attention than tracking and weighing portions, and am since down 40 again since around Thanksgiving on strict keto and a deficit.

    Everybody is different. Generally I feel more energy and less cravings staying below 50 gr per day. And it's mostly from veggies and fruit.

    I started a low carb, high protein diet in January, and lost about 13 inches around my waist within 3 weeks.
