hi beescwee....nope have never done the low carb thing before... just the very low cal part of it (have to admit to being a bit of a fan of the crash diet, just don't have the patience for slow and steady) But this time have been medically supervised the whole way, has cost me a fortune, but I just decided that I knew I could lose the weight by myself - probably unhealthily, but couldn't keep it off, so perhaps getting help with all of this would mean I could finally do it once and for all!

Removing carbs is not as hard as you think once you get in to the swing of it, but bread and I have long been enemies, so I knew I had to cut that out regardless, I don't think we can ever be friends again, you see to me, everything is a potential sandwich!
The thing about most carbs that I would have consumed is that really they just serve to add a lot of calories for quite a small physical portion...ie you can eat a huge dinner of veggies salad and a lean protein and be stuffed for like 1/4 of the calories you might use if it was a carby meal...

I am a total convert now, do you know all about Ketosis or not, before I go posting a big long explanation??

Still 186lb so didn't meet goal (but is tom at the moment so maybe will get a good loss next week). Not been an easy month here for vasiours reasons so found it veyr hard to stay on plan and haven't reintroduced exercise yet so happy to of lost what I have :) Hopeing to be 12 stone something by the end of Feb :)

Well doen to everyone.
