Hi!
I started low carb-ing awhile back but always seem to give it up because I never seem to find a variety of low carb foods that I like.

I have been very heavy and very thin. The weight on my scale ranged from 89 pounds to 220pounds. As the years passed, I have found that I am most comfortable at 120. I have recently put on extra weight because of new medications I have been taking.

My doctor suggested low carb because I was told my medication makes it extra hard for me to burn carbs.

I wont lie. I'm a carb-aholic and could sit all day and eat crackers and bread.
I have been strong though and at least eliminated them from my diet for quite some time.

The thing is, I just don't seem to lose weight eating low carb either. Maybe I haven't given it enough time?

I have previously stuck to the diet for three weeks without losing a pound.

I just bought a bowflex max5 and will start regularly exercising tomorrow. I hope that helps.

Hello and welcome!

You might want to look into learning to bake low carb crackers. They can be a delicious substitute. Check out paleo and low carb baking web sites, or check the cooking forums here.

Low carb doesn't have to be boring.

I'm glad your doc sees value in low-carb. When you really dig into the science, it's pretty clear why low carb is a superior alternative to other dieting strategies. Good luck!

And all that cheese....low carb heaven!
