Hi guys
I am not new to MFP by any stretch and adore the friends I have made on here. However, I only know one lady who is doing low carb. Are any of you lovely folks trying to reduce your carb intake or following a more ridgid no carb diet?
It would be lovely to hear from you, please feel free to add me with a little message.
Good luck with your weight and fitness journey, I look forwards to sharing it with you.

No. And personally I dont think anyone should completely reduce/cut out a portion of their diet. Just stick within your calorie goals and try and switch up things to healthier choices. I still eat bread/tortillas/wraps most days and haven't dropped dead or stopped losing weight.0

former low carber, did keto for like 6 months and got pretty lean... thought it worked but then i noticed it really didnt for a number of reasons carbs are good its moderation that is key0

I try to keep to under 50g a day per the Endocrinologist. You can add me0

Def a low carb diet! Keep a 1200 calorie and 20 to 25 carbs a day and you will lose! Lots of yummy receipes out there! Check out "Linda's low carb receipes" online. You can still eat healthy and lose weight most def! And exercise of course! Good Luck!0

I'm low carbing (NOT no carbing!) I'm diabetic and don't really have a choice, if I want to get healthy and drop weight. I try to stay around 120-130 carbs/day. Mostly from fruits and veggies, but I do have the occasional tortilla or use bread crumbs in a recipe, etc. Feel free to add me as a friend!!0

Low Carber here.0

I work towards a low carb diet because I am pre diabetic and am taking metformin ER. The better I can control those carbs the less I crave them. Have really seen a difference in my weight loss by not incorporating them in my diet.0

Not sure I'm comfortable with the tone of judgement this post reeks of (and complete ignorant insensitivity). Low carb diets (apart from being a very effective fat loss tool) can be necessitated by many medical conditions too.
Currently in a keto cutting cycle. Going great. Feeling great. Loving cheese.0 -
I'm trying to get back there. Lost my motivation.. but curbing it back that way. I try for no more than 40 and 1300 calories.0

Everybody has their own methods. What works for us, works for us... I haven't dropped dead either. Just sayin'0 -
yes, I try to keep my net carbs below 75. I try to get the majority of my carbs from fruits, veg , beans etc. Adding lots of fiber. I will have the occasional low carb or corn tortilla, but try to stay away from processed foods as much as possible.

Wish there was a like button on this site. You said it very well. I'm pre diabetic and at my doctor's suggestion I try to keep my carbs to 100 or less a day.0 -
I'm a low carber! Add me! I did it for a few months, fell off track and did low cal, felt like CRAP! Now I'm back to low carb and love it! I feel so much better than I did with all that crap in my body! Any low carbers, ADD ME! I'd love to help motivate and support you all!0

yep, under 50g per day of carbs and I'm in the UK. Eating lots of oils and fats, naturally.
The photo isn't me, it's a guy that nobody told about starvation mode ;-)0 -

Hi Lotte, im doing the Atkins (sort of) i have been following it since Feb 1st and lost 28lbs so far. More recently ive not been too rigid with it, but generally i dont go above 15-20 carb daily, and thats just veg and salad carbs. I dont eat any bread, rice, pasta etc. Im never hungry and i seem be ok..certainly no side effects.0

Do you feel better about yourself now that you've made someone else "look bad"?
Okay, let me amend what I said to please some anonymous person. I dont think people should cut something completely out of their diet unless supervised by a professional. DERP0 -
I don't eat any added carbs. I eat fruit, veg etc. and get my carbs from these, but I have cut out bread, rice, potato etc. After much discussion with my doctor, a slight intolerance to 'carb' products means that I bloat and it really affects my IBS, so have cut it out now for 2 months, and haven't had a problem with my IBS since. I miss them all, especially chips and pasta, but the loss of stomach cramps and toilet trips makes it all worth while, and I've managed to lose a stone in weight during this time. It may not work for everyone, but it's worked for me. Add me please! xx0
