If you are low carbing it and would like some support and accountability this is the thread for you!!

Not that I particularly love low carb, but there is no denying that is works better for me than anything I have ever done. Therefore, low carb lifestyle will probably be my friend until goal.

hi greorgia- the market i shop at, ralph's, has their brand of low carb yogurt. i've only seen 3 different flavors: vanilla, strawberry, and raspberry. i usually stock up for the whole week. i think they only have 3net carbs.

I wish we had that around here. I can't even find greek yogurt anymore. When walmart carried Oikos greek yogurt, I stocked up because they usually didn't have many in stock. They haven't had any in a month, so I'm assuming they don't carry it anymore. Sooo frustrating!

I saw Greek Yogurt at Walmart and it was like about $1.50 for a 4 oz container. Way too expensive! I buy a all natural no sugar kind and add sf syrup to it. Good stuff.

Yep! The Oikos brand was $1.46 for 5 oz. But since they were the only place in town that had them, I paid it! My town is lacking in the grocery dept. We have walmart, winn dixie, and harvey's....that's it! They're all pretty dinky too if you ask me.

Why would Greek yogurt be any more expensive than any other. That's crazy and I am 100% Greek.

Beats me. Maybe the way they make it takes more time or has more ingredients?

Hi everyone. I was just wondering how many grams of Carb do you limit in your diet daily? I am doing high protein and low calorie and that seems to work well, but just curious about the carbs. Thank you!

I was doing between 20-30 during my weight loss stage.

Some days it was way below that. It really depended on

whether or not I went out to eat that day.

I started at 40 g and have gradually gone up. I'm currently doing about 60-90 now.

I want to be part of you low carb bander. I am losing too slowly and would like to speed it up a bit and I think low carb would help.

I have a question for the whole group. Here is my situation...I lost fast for the first 6 months. Then I quit losing and have stabalized for the last 6 months. I still have 50 pounds to lose. I know I would do better on low carb, but I really have a problem eating veggies. I get stuck with lettuce, broccoli, green beans that aren't mush and carrots. I can't live on meat alone and even have a little trouble with it getting stuck too. I have tried chewing it all up very fine before swallowing. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Can anyone offer some insight into this? Am I overly sensitive? I hate shakes and refuse to live on them.

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide...

Thank goodness for your comments. I thought I was losing it and today I ask my lap band dr about the inability to eat veggies and meat. I throw it all up no matter how little it is processed. He said it is normal. So I am still eating very minimal real food. Shake for breakfast and I seem to be able to eat fish better than chicken and beef so I usually eat tuna for lunch. Cottage cheese for snack. I cant eat cucumbers, tomatoes, watermelon, green beans ........ Hope your problam gets better soon.

Yea! Alow carb group! I was banded 1/10/08 and have only lost 42 lbs, that was the first 8 months. Then, weight loss just stopped. I kept having to go back and forth on fills because I couldn't find that spot! So anyway, I started low carb 5 days ago and I've already lost 6 lbs! I have about 100 more to go. So, in your carb counts, do ya'll do net carbs?

I do not agree with your dr. The band is meant to work with hard protein. You sound too tight to me. If I were you, I would get a slight unfill.

Even having the smallest amount of saline taken out can make a huge difference. It is NOT normal to be able to eat a minimal amount of real food!

happy to be one of the low carb member =)

this works the best for my wieght loss... but have its complecation as having sever tommy pain from the high acidity on the stomack and the sever reflux i had.. hate it....

starting my day with skimmed yugort and rest of the day ill have 2 protien shacks and some tona ... for dinner ..

Thank you for that reply...I agree...I do not feel healthy when I'm dropping weight from not eating. It makes me feel like I'm going to put it right back on. Plus when I work out I get very tired and light headed. I really don't want them to take any fluid out, because its like a very fine line between too much and not enough for me. Did I mention how much I hate shakes? I JUST WANT A FREAKIN HAMBURGER!!!
