    All diets work if your consuming less energy than your body requires. There is no magic formula.

    OK. So far, so good but getting low-grade headaches. I found out this is normal on low-carb diets and should go away in about a week. I am trying to add more good carbs and water when getting the headaches.

    i thought if you don't eat carbs, you can eat all the fat and protein you want and lose weight. I learned that from Why We Get Fat by Gary Taubes

    Thank you for clarifying, Why We Get Fat has some many references in the back, it must all be sound information and true

    I have had the MOST success by eating Primal. The protein and fat provide me with MORE than enough energy and have curbed that crazy hunger I used to have. I don't miss the grains and dairy, figured out that they would make me bloat! Not going to lie, it was a small struggle to cut out the foods that I was so used to using, even in other diets, but I have completely adapted and with enough research I know exactly what I can eat anywhere I go! I am completely satisfied and have had tons of friends and families convert after seeing the positive changes it's brought to my lifestyle:0)

    Thanks for the information. I just wondered if a lot of women have had success on Primal. I am finding it is working and obviously I was really addicted to carbs. I bought the book, the Primal Blueprint, 21 Day Transformation. I figured I could do anything for 21 days. I still eat yogurt. It's amazing to me how much more energy I have and how I am NOT starving and cranky when its time to eat.

    I have been Paleo since late October of last year and I gotta say that I am loving it. After the initial learning curve, it's both easy and delicious. I love being able to eat foods I love in abundance and never feeling hungry or deprived. Keep it up, you will definitely see benefits.
