It damn sure works
Get carbs down below 100 or 50 or 20 if you’re hardcore marine style self discipline and the weight will pour off
From all over.....it ain’t water weight it’s all of your fattiness
You just shrink
24 days ago I was 6’5” and 262.....not good but at my height you can hide it better...just been pigging out on sweets and breads for a year knowing the day would come
So ...and I’ve tried it before but never like this.....I’m averaging maybe 35-50 carb grams a day ....and eating all the meats and dairy and greens I want
Zero bread and very little sweets and no other carbs much at all
Best cheat is peanut butter or sugar free jello with heavy cream or ready whip
Anyhow I’m hungry when I eat twice a day and rarely snack
Today I’m 234
28 pounds in 24 days.....my wife is so jealous poor thing....she’s tiny anyhow but she being a split tail loses weight much slower
I’d like to hit 215-220 which would be my lowest since 1996
Eating meats and butter and cheeses and salad is easy for me but I do miss fries and rice
I am also trying to dodge diabetes which is so much more prevalent when older like me and with a big waistline
Low carb diet works and you’re much less hungry
I had your diet 3 years ago. In hindsight, I went overboard on the animal fats — like cooking an egg in a tablespoon of butter. I now use a high-grade olive oil (which doesn’t lose it’s molecular structure under heat — from what I understand.)
My high weight was 220. Dropped to 165 in a matter of months on a ~50 carb/day diet. It definitely works.
I’m still on a low carb diet (< 100 grams/day) but I’m gaining weight through total calories.
That’s a heck of an accomplishment, and if you keep going the way you are, you’ll hit your mark before you know it.
It’s true that limiting carbs will make you lose weight or, in my case, stay the weight I want to be.
The women in my husband’s family are all very skinny because they starve themselves. I’m not skinny and I absolutely do not want to be. I’ve been that way before, and I much prefer being a normal weight and having some female curves with a small waist.
My mother-in-law had some mixed nuts on the kitchen counter...she ate about three of them and said oh, I can only have these or I’ll gain weight. I told her I eat nuts all the time and I have more than just a few...it’s the low carb content and the good fats that are key.
I started limiting my carbs years ago, and I’ve had no weight problems and I don’t go around hungry. I recommend it to women who find it hard to lose weight. A friend of mine is overweight, but she loves her carbs...she has the notion that all she has to do is substitute brown rice for white and she can have all she wants. Sure, the brown rice is better for you, but the carb content still should be limited.
