Hey, Low-Carberz

Do you find you generally lose more weight than others who don't follow a low-carb lifestyle?

Well, I can only speak for myself, but I've lost 228 pounds in less than 20 months and I don't restrict my carbs at all. In fact, I eat tons of bread, Pasta, rice, and potatoes.

The amount of weight you lose has nothing to do with low carbs, low fat, high Protein, etc. It has to do with figuring out what way of eating works best for your specific metabolism and sticking to your daily calorie allowance. Diet isn't "one size fits all" and there is no right or wrong way.

Just my experience and opinion.

I do an unofficial version of carb cycling so basically one day I will have lots of carbs and other days it's low carb. By doing that I don't feel deprived but I have to be honest, I do feel a lot less bloated and "skinnier" the next morning when I go low carb. Good luck =)

I had GREAT results carb cycling to break a couple plateaus. I actually wish I could right now for a couple weeks but I eat too many green veggies when I carb cycle and I'm currently on Coumadin- and green veggies (Vitamin K) messes up my blood levels big time.
