Do any of you folks doing low carb include things like lentils, beans, sweet potatoes? I certainly don't need to loose any more weight, I have a hard enough time gaining weight when weight training. I've always felt that anyone keeping with an exercise program will need some carbs to sustain extended aerobic activity.

Not the soda. I have quite soda before no problem. A big one for me is potatoes. A huge fan of potatoes and usually have at least one every other day.

Those are all carbs. I do low carb rather than keto right now so I will have them but in moderation. Again...I didn't lose any weight when I changed diets.

Edit: I wanted to add that I had a hard time looking for snacks. I've found boiled eggs make great snacks. I'll make 18 at a time and store them in the fridge. Can doctor them up with seasoning of your choice and they seem to have a nice fat/protein ratio.

I do a semi low carb.Eat meat and cheese,fruit,fresh vegetables but also drink juices and ice tea and eat white bread with my cheeseburgers.

Not.

About 4 now. Pretty amazing how when one eats real food you are not constantly hungry. Its also amazing how much energy one can have when fasting.

Why it works.Its processed foods that puts weight on you.

There is a weight training diet I heard of where you do no carbs for 3 days on and three days off, if I remember right.

No I don't like gas, bloating and diarrhea

veggies and berries are high in carbs, The OP was about low carbs.

Keto and gly cycling

Biggest tip is stay away from processed foods,potatoes,pasta,and soda

How to fatten a pig, circa 1908 (low fat + grains or what we call it today "heart healthy start to the day cereal")

Another good snack especially if you are spending a lot of time outside in the cold, is pemmican. I keep some in the fridge all the time now. I remember when i was a kid the older First Nations people would take dry meat and dip it in a tin of lard just like some people do with potato chips and dip now.

This guy did some early studies on the meat/fat diet of the Inuit.

Low Carb has really helped me lose weight and keep it off. I shoot to limit carbs to 25 per day and a 2000 calorie overall intake.. 65lbs down for over two years.. Need to up the exercise now and drop another 30, but....

I think I shared this before. My grandfather used to do something similar that he said he acquired during his time in Alaska. He would take his home made jerky and kind of dip it in a tub of Country Crock (when my grandma wasn't looking).

I went on a low carb high protein diet and lost 10 pounds in a short time. I still avoid most carbs and sugars, but do cheat from time to time. Like last Saturday we had spaghetti and meatballs with a glass of wine. I weigh myself every day. If I see a pattern of weight gain of 2 pounds or more, I get stricter on my carb/protein intake until I'm back to my previous weight.

Pike River said to stay hydrated while you're on this diet. I couldn't agree more. Drink lots of water. I quit drinking sodas about a year ago. I don't miss them.

I've had diabetes for years now. In mmy prime, I weighed 175# all my life, but as my diabetes got harder to control, I read about doc Bernstein's low carb method of controlling diabetes, and went all in on it. Was a battle at first, feel great one day, and the next, felt like crap. But once through the first couple months, I felt great, but my blood sugars were still high one day and good the next....back and forth. Lost fifteen lbs that I didn't need to lose, but it didn't solve what I went on it for. I should tell you that during that time, I was eating from ten to fifteen carbs a day..After a yearand a half, I gave up and worked some carbs back in, eating some bread and sweet taters, but still eat that way today. The only thing that helps the diabetes is exercise and meds. I'm on three diabetes meds at pretty high doses, but my blood sugars are the best right now they have been in years! When the weather is nice, I try to walk a mile every other day, and that is more of a key for diabetes than the low carb diet, IMHO.

When I had my last colonoscopy, my proctologist gave me a list of what to eat that was good for your colon and what wasn't. In big letters were: DON"T EAT WHITE BREAD!

I asked him why no white bread? He said your intestines have sharp corners and white bread doesn't pass through them like the grainier breads do. White bread has a tendency to become compacted in the intestines for some people which can cause numerous digestive problems.

Lost 55 pounds on mine last year
