    Low carb

    Well vacation is over and I am left with the vacation belly
    So I am going low carb to try and jump start my fat loss. It is going to be a rough few days.

    Did it last week...was so miserable I quit...and gained back all 6 lbs that I lost. ::sigh:: I know I CAN do it (and have) but I really love carbs...

      I find this works miracles - but it's really hard to maintain!! Good luck. I've been low carving for a week too.

          First day down. I am hungry and grumpy.
          It doesn't help that I am coming off vacation food for the last week. How long till I go into ketosis?

              I think it's 4-5 days honestly. I think day 3-4 are the hardest.

                  Just counting carbs has shown me that I was consuming a butt load of them. Even though I was low calorie my calories where all carbs.
                  It will be interesting to see if I have better weight loss with low carb vs low calorie

                            Hmmm. I must be a freak of nature. I always feel fuller and better when I consume few carbs and more high quality protein. If I have an all carb breakfast, I'm hungry and crappy feeling all day.

                              Same here. I am a master of n=1 experiments. My calorie counting plan with high carbs/low fat did not go well at.all. S.T.A.R.V.I.N.G.
