does low carb work for you?

Nope, doesn't work for me either. I love my noodles, and mashed potatoes. Im a starchy carbohydrates kinda girl. I can't stop!

It works for me, but it's practically impossible for me to stick with.

Dont worry.Itworks very slowly. If you stop to take sugar, bread, rice and oil, then you would be able to reduce your weight with a required speed. Rome was not built in a day.

Low carb does work for me...I just have a hard time staying away from it, especially when I'm stressed. When I'm stressed I crave, Taco Bell, McD's and ALL mexican food. But when I did stick to it, I lost 50lbs in 4 or 5 months and it was a great feeling. The hardest period were the first two weeks. If you can get thru that period, you're pretty golden and good to go.

whoops, I just realized I started a similar discussion...i lose the most amount of weight on this type of diet, but can't stay on it. Have you ever cooked a bowl of soup with noodles and then let it sit---the noodles expand and soak up all the broth...I imagine this happenig in my belly and that alone should make me stop...but I can't...it is my comfort food.

it worked for me the first week . I lost about 10 lbs and after that nothing but 2 lbs in that whole month.

any diet will work..but is it healthy? or will you stick with it? i have seen people on these adkins diet and they seem to lose the weight but there are side effects..it is better to eat a well balanced diet..like weight watchers...then you will more likely stay on the diet..you will get sick of eating certain foods al the time..but good luck..its your body

It does work, only I can't stay on it. I like the chicken sandwich at Hardee's too much. I have such a busy and chaotic life that it is really hard to not eat a sandwich every now and then. And I refuse to take the bread off if I paid for it. I love salad though, but sometimes you just don't have the time to eat it. Know what I mean. Like when you are driving somewhere and cannot stop to eat the salad and you can eat the sandwich while driving. This is bad eating, I know. Bad me. I need to drop at least 30 pounds too.
