  • Hi hafs... I did it on my own. For me it was comparable to starting a low-cal diet—the first three days being the hardest. But I adjusted pretty quickly. And, about 1 week into the diet, I noticed that cravings went away. Another benefit was that my desire for sugar or sweets disappeared...and I loved carbs (breads & ice…

  • Congrats, Sasha! Keto has done the same for me. After much research last June, I decided to eat low carb. All you say is true: I never knew the feeling of satiety until eating Keto (≤25g carbs/day). I used to think "satiety" meant feeling full, which is an uncomfortable feeling. I am so much more at peace: cravings, gone;…

  • 25 total. This is what I need to achieve ketosis. This might have to do with a damaged metabolism from being morbidly obese for most of my life. When I achieve my goal healthy weight I will attempt to add a few more carb grams but will not be surprised if 25g/day is my limit. The rewards of eating a high carby diet most of…

  • Fantastic! I started at almost the same weight as you in late June and soon into my CICO diet I started reading about low carb. I steadily cut carbs and since December I eat around 25g total carbs per day. I’ve lost 78 lbs and feel better than I have in decades. I’ve learned so much about the metabolic system and now am…

  • CICO diet works well. But a keto diet works best. I was on a 1200 calorie CICO diet for a year in 2014, lost 70 lbs. Unfortunately I gained most of it back over the next 3 years. I’m now 8 months into a 1200 calorie low carb (25g carbs/day) diet and I have dropped 77 lbs. Apart from the increased weight loss I do not have…
    in Will this weight loss strategy work? CICO? Comment by LRLemon February 2019
  • I'm 65 and have lost 55 pounds since June 26, 2018 following a LOW CARB (15-30 gm/day) diet. I graph my weight day to day. Interesting thing is that I followed a CALORIES IN CALORIES OUT diet in 2014 (BTW: I gained the weight back over 4 years) and comparing my weight loss from that diet with the weight loss from this…

  • C: 20-50g... then try to keep F & P equal to each other. And since I'm tryin to lose weight try to eat less calories than I need.

  • Every morning. I record each day's weight on a spreadsheet that includes a column that shows each day's difference from the previous day, with a weight-gain showing as a red number. Here's why this has worked well for me so far: 1. I can see a pattern between "celebration days" and weight loss/gain; 2. The accumulation of…
