The are tons of people here who aren't low-carb.
I lost and ran a couple bulk/cut cycles and am now maintaining by manipulating calories alone. No issues.
Protein is the only thing I had to work on making sure I hit my target.16 -
i'm doing IF and Calorie def i was just interested in the results some might of had already.2

I don't do low carb. I've lost 20+ lbs with cardio (mostly walking) and 300-400/day calorie deficit.. which a lot of people here will tell you is impossible

I am now in maintenance but I never went low carb. I simply lost weight by eating at a deficit but choosing foods I enjoyed and to stick with long term, that also helped the most with satiety. Protein and high fibre foods help keep me fuller for longer than foods that are high in fat.11

I do a moderate carb diet but all of my weight loss is driven by a calorie deficit.10

it’s just hard and pointless to make « i don’t do low carb » posts
i don’t watch carbs, just calories. lost 53lbs.15 -
the only reason i'm careful with carbs is because, to me, they are calorie expensive. i can eat 5 oz chicken for the same amount of calories as a half cup of rice sometimes, so i go for the quantity. but for weight loss...strictly cico for me. and i'm down 59 lbs.12

Over 80 pounds lost on pure calorie deficit 🙂19

Almost 30 pounds lost not caring about carbs at all.11

I've lost 25kg (55 pounds) since starting in early January and am not doing low carb. I'm just tracking by calories - making sure I have a minimum of protein, veg every day etc but once I've ticked off that minimum, I let myself eat whatever I want so long as I'm within my calorie budget (as boosted by exercise). I think the kicker for me was when I realised that all the baked goods I liked didn't really have a low calorie flour substitute so I've just gone for using normal flour and making sure I factor the calorie count into my budget. As someone else has pointed out above, the only pickle with carbs is that they're expensive calorie-wise, but I just factor it in and either offset with exercise or eat less etc.10

I've never been low carb.
I manage my weight by watching my calories.8 -
At maintenance after losing 50 pounds, eating all the carbs.9

Giggling at the woo pusher who, either doesn't know its proper use or has their knickers in a knot because people have had success with weight loss without going low carb. I'm going with the latter option because I find that one more comical!30

It was me. I'm a keto breatharian.

I was wondering about that. If people want to cut carbs then I support that, but everyone's different and different things work for different people. I've chosen not to reduce or eliminate carbs because I enjoy them 😁7 -
I eat moderately low carb, but because I’m diabetic, not because I’m doing keto. 125 lbs down and over a year in maintenance without ever dropping below 150g net per day.8

Keto has me at my lowest adult weight.It works for me, I was a 34 waist and I'm now heading for 30" omg never since i was 16 have i been that.10

I lost 33 pounds in just a calorie deficet. I think I was eating somewhere around 200-250g of carbs a day. They can't be garbage carbs, but I'm sure you know that. I made sure my plates were about 40% protein, 40% fibrous veggies, and 20% starchy carbs.9
