I have waffled between low carb and regular eating for the last two months. I have zero weight loss to show for it, but do feel comfortably solid at this new lower weight. Today was a low carb unrestricted eating day and tomorrow I will start 900 calorie, 100 gram protein, 70 gram carb, 25 gram fat again. I would like to stick with that thru the end of January (approximately 12 weeks). I could theoretically get down to about 180 in that time. That would be really nice. That is a size 14 for me. A good solid average girl size. That would be really nice.
I recently read "Good calories, Bad Calories" by Gary Taubes. It really has been a good read and really has reinforced what I already understood about how detrimental excessive carbohydrate consumption has been for me not only in regards to weight gain, but also in the way it promotes irrational hunger.
Low carb unrestricted eating allows me to maintain my weight, but I have been unsuccessful in losing weight without counting calories at the same time. Fortunately, after a few days low carbing, I experience very little hunger. I am hopeful that I have found a life long solution to my battle with weight gain.
