I have to admitt I'm really not a committed low carber. I guess I have been able to control my weight because I only allow myself carbs/sugar if I am out on a date, eating out or at a family event.
Life is good. What has worked for me is eating what I want, just less of it. And if I do go a little overboard, I am always willing to put in extra work at the gym.
Those supposed calorie counters on the cardio machines at my gym always give me a little reality check though...once I realized the effort it takes to burn 500 calories on a cardio machine...I've become a lot more conscious about what and how much of what I allow in my body.
