I have heard of some people not exercising while doing very low carb ( 20 carbs or less a day ) have still lost a lot of weight without exercising! I was just curious if this is true for anyone else? The only exercise I do at this point is walking mostly. I also ride my bike every now and then. Thanks in advance!!

    Shanon, i stay at about 30 carbs a day, and for the first 3 mnths i didnt "exercise" i am down a considerable amount, just last week I started working out almost everyday (missed one dangit) i was at a slow pace and thought i should see if this helps so far this week im down 3lbs. I think everyone is different. I had alot of extra weight to loose.

    That's amazing!! What types of foods do you eat? Did you watch your calorie intake? I went over by 412 today. I hope that I didn't ruin all of my hard work this far. :/
