    me. Will happily live just of carbs. Trying reducing potion sizes, and staying within calorie limits. It can be done:)

    Weight loss is all about calories. Just stay within daily calorie goals and you will lose weight.

    I like food that happens to have carbs - Ice cream: carbs, fat, protein. Pizza: carbs, fat, protein. But I don't eliminate those foods, instead I learn to eat moderate portions.

    Hi, I'm Pescatarian too and find it extremely difficult to keep my daily carbs under 100g, in fact I'm not sure I have ever done this. I'm just happy now if I can keep my protein higher than my carbs but that can mean eating a lot and if you mix the wrong foods into all that eating, well it's a recipe for disaster, weight wise obviously.

    Do you eat bread? I rarely eat bread because my carbs are high in other places and this just exacerbates the carb content but sometimes even an apple throws my carbs really high. I just try my best to keep carbs around 100 anyway.

    I LOVE CARBS! And while I don't subscribe to "no carbs", I know that my definition of a "normal sized bowl of pasta" was a bit out of whack (spare bucket anyone?)

    I've found that the less carbs I eat, the less I crave them....probably like any addiction/habit......but this takes time. Just stick with it until your cravings diminish and grind your way through the tough times.

    It gets easier! Bonne chance!
