Low carb:)

twistandsizzle · May 2015

I have been eating low carb, around 20 carbs a day, some days over that but less than 30,for the most part. I have been doing this for 60 days according to my fitness pal. Its not all that difficult but I feel like it is going so slow. I have lost 17 pounds so far, which is great don't get me wrong. I'm trying to be patient. I have noticed when I increase my carbs I seem to drop weight, so I have had a few days that I have eaten more but always less than 80. I have a couple of weeks that I am at a stand still weightwise, but I can tell a difference in my clothing. I have already decreased my pants size. I just want to try and stay motivated so any suggestions or insight would be greatly appreciated!

They offer a lot of information and support, as well as liked minded people. Best of luck!

2 weeks is not at all unusual for a "stall" -- your weight fluctuates a lot in that time frame due to water retention, muscle building, etc.

20g carbs is fine. 80g is fine. Go by your hunger. If you feel more hungry or start getting more cravings as you increase your carb level, that might be a sign to reduce, but otherwise go with whatever works.

Good support group here:
