[QUOTE="Keyser328, post: 1575959, member: 10111"] I started an atkins style low carb diet back in February and was quite successful on it. Long before I did the "fad" diet, I did a bunch of research into why it works, etc. I lost about 25 lbs in the first six weeks, then tapered off, as expected. Also in my research, I found and through experience confirmed, that the low carb diets are not meant to be long term solutions. The goal is to help you shed off extra weight up front, get to feeling better, then move toward a balanced diet. If I had to guess, the low carb bit is to break the psychological desire to consume hollow calories all the time. I will also agree that at the end of the day, the single thing that matters for weight control is calories. Fuel in versus fuel spent, period. I'm still working on losing more, and since I've been back from vacation I've fallen off the wagon a little, but I'm already picking it up again and being cognizant of what I'm eating. Thus far, I haven't started an exercise regiment yet, with my current weight loss being derived directly from dietary control. As with many things, the crux of it all is knowledge and discipline - kinda like trigger control. :) [/QUOTE]
