  • I started low carb in 2004. No calorie counting. I'm down 50lbs and healthier than ever. I'm basically off all grains as of now and as close to zero carb as possible while still eating salads and veggies, but sometimes not even that. My wife now realizes that her stomach problems were from grains. Also she gets puffy,…

Salad bars sometimes have tons of stuff including bean salads etc. There are low carb protein bars and shakes that you can take…
    in Low-carbing as a Vegetarian Comment by Brassteacher June 2013

    in Low Carb vs Low Fat Comment by Brassteacher October 2012

The primary source of fuel the body uses to make ATP is dietary fat. Dietary carbs are second. Can't maintain low carb long term? I'm finishing year 8 and I know lots…
    in Low Calories, or Low Carbs? What is better..... Comment by Brassteacher January 2012
  • You can't go low carb for a few days, not knowing how to do it, and expect any success. Anybody can do low carb successfully if you know how to. You need to first educate yourself so you don't blow it. If you truly go low carb you will never: be hungry, be low on energy, have a bad mood fom it, or any of the things…
