    I limit carbs to 50% or so - protein around 30% and fat 20%

    Any lower than that and I feel bad - sluggish and without energy. My goals are more fat loss than major weight having already lost the 62 lbs on a low cal, regular diet: 15% Protein, 30% fat and 55% carb which sure beats the diet that fattened me up - 80% carb: breads, pastas and sugar galore.

    I don't know how I survived that!

    I am sure you are getting negative feedback on the Low-Carb Diet. I just want to let you know Adkins worked tremendouly for me. I made it to 252 lbs when it first came on the market that was down from 300lb. The quickness that it came off was astonishing. I felt great for a bit and got into a size 38 pant. I could not keep up with the lifestyle and i put double what I lost on in less than a month.

    This is a very restrictive diet and I wish you success, but get blood tests to watch your chlesterol. It is also important to have an exit plan. You will hit a wall at one point in this diet and that is because the body will figure out what you are doing to trick it into burning the fat. Once you hit this level the weigtloss stops. You got to have a plan to fight off the extreme weight gain after the low-carb diet.

    Good luck!

    hi,
    I wanted to give you positive feedback on the low carb diet. I have worded on losing weight slowly using this diet. I lose 10-15 ls. Then I stabilize my weight . Meaning I keep it off for six months then I lose another 10-15 lbs. This way my body gets used to losing the weight and I don't put it back on. I'm down 45 lbs and have kept it off. I have 15 more to go. Now I am really working on toning and developing muscle. I don't want to look skinny, but I want to look slender, fit and athletic. Good Luck to you

    I monitor my carbs and sugar more than anything else. I do not completely cut them out, I just stay away from the bad carbs ( on most days! haha) I like to stay under 100 carbs a day and within the sugar amount mfp tells me to. Add me if you like, I may not be a low carber but I am a carb watcher!
    :laugh:

    I agree, you have to prepare for AFTER you lose weight. If you follow the Pre- Maintenance and Maintenance, find your CLL (Carbohydrate Level for Losing) and ACE ( Atkins Carbohydrate Equilibrium ), you will maintain successfully.

    Thanks everyone I appreciate it. I am not doing Atkins but have cut down my carbs to between 60 to 80 and am hoping that is enough to kick start my weight loss....my carbs are coming from fruit and veg.
