As far as the way it makes me feel -- I'm doing great.

My pants are a little bit looser also. I don't have a scale, so I have to judge this by how loose my pants are. I've got some old pants that I'd love to fit into (they're still in great shape), but it would take a miracle to wear them. But thanks to a low carb diet, maybe that miracle will happen.

I'm probably not following the diet "exactly." And I'm not entirely sure how many carbs I've eaten, as I'm trying to eyeball them. I've also been eating mixed nuts in the evening. I figure that they are mostly fat and fiber.

I'm in this for the long haul and I'm looking at it as a lifestyle change, so I'm in no rush. I'm confident that the diet will eventually work.
