Hey, Low-Carberz



Recommended Posts

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.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
