I've been carb cycling for just over two weeks. Down 10lbs. I can do this forever. I love it, and its so easy. I have a hard time to getting over 1000 cals on low carb days. My husband is doing it too and has lost even more weight.

Starting today! So excited!

Make sure I have the "rules" down.

*High carb days (up to 250ish) need to be low fat. All eating stops at 6pm.

*Low carb days (less than 50) need to be higher in fat. All eating stops at 6pm and no carbs after lunch.< /p>

*We are using net carbs, correct? Total carbs - sugar alchols - diatery Fiber = net carbs

Sounds perfect! Don't be afraid to play with those numbers and find out what works for you. Remember, we're all unique and our bodies all need different things to function optimally. :)

Which is a great idea to do,(play around with your carb numbers) I guess you can say I found a magic number (for now) that works for me. Now, if I hit another plateau, I am going right back to carb cycling, the old fashion way....LOL

No I've never been there. Was stuck all the time so I have no Fluid in my band and its been a rough 4 months. Maybe I should call the doctor and ask for one, stuck or no stuck. My cravings are horrible. Thank God I have managed to get about 2 more pounds off in March but that is it.

Some people are carb addicts. I personally don't think there is anything wrong when carbs in moderation but everyone is different. When I'm not carb cycling I don't restrict my carbs beyond making sure they are healthy ones and fit within my daily calorie allowance.

If you feel you are addicted to carbs then perhaps going low carb ongoing would help.

Sorry to hear this. Have you talked to the nutritionist or dr. about this? Maybe it is how or what you are eating.

I just came upon this thread because of the recent posting activity. Missy, are you still carb cycling and do you still find it effective?

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
