I have been sticking to it.I dont have a hard time sticking to it as of right now. I think its because I am anxious to get the weight off so I am doing what I think is the right thing to do. I have been eating more fruit and veggies so its hard to even get 1000 not to mention 1200. Every week I have been evaluating my diet making changes that I can actually live with.
As I mention before I dont do food restrictions but i monitor portion sizes. I had been craving chips so I purchased pringles 100 calorie packs only at one time unfortunately because the kids at the rest,lol. I like pasta so i purchase wheat pasta and only will eat 1/2 of the actually serving size. This works for me, well it has so far.I have only been doing this for 71 days. I have only lost 22lbs. So we will see after three months or 100 days how I feel.

Swansong, lower carb foods tend to be more calories since they're pretty dense-- but eggs, chicken and seafood are low/no carb and fairly low in calories. Plus most vegetables are low carb, as long as they aren't starchy or sweet.

Doing both low calorie and low carb can be really hard, though. I've done low carb in the past and it worked well, but the only thing that got me through was being able to eat nuts, avocado, cheese, meat, and other higher calorie things. Even with those, I found it hard to stick with.

But then, I find everything hard to stick with.

Is it possible to lose eating high carbs but sticking to 1200-1300 calorie diet? I am elderly, struggling because I love my carbs.
