I've been on a low carb diet now for about 2 and a half weeks, so far I've lost about 10-13 pounds, and lost about 2.5 /3 inches around my waist . I weighed 223 and went down to 208 in this short amount of time , I feel great and I'm noticing weight loss mostly in my stomach, arms and face. I only eat between 50-100 carbs a day, my goal is to reach around 160-150 pounds as I'm pretty tall(about 5'9) . Can anyone with experience in this kind of diet or experienced in weight loss give me advice on how to accelerate this a little more , I Exercise also. And do you think I will be able to reach my goal in around 4-5 months or is that unrealistic?

That's pretty ambitious, particularly if you're trying to reach 150 in 4 months.

Your weight loss is likely to slow, rather than accelerate because there is typically a quick loss of 5-10 lbs that is mostly water weight.

I eat low carb, and have been losing weight at the rate of a little less than 10 lbs a month (about .3 lbs/day). I watch both carbs (under 50 net, but more typically under 40 net) and calories (1200 or fewer - I'm short).

To accelerate the loss you do the same thing as you do on any other diet - create a bigger calorie deficit by eating less or moving more.

Why the rush? Slower loss is more frequently sustainable.
