Hi All,
My name is Carson and I am just starting out on a Low Carb lifestyle.
It has been very tough as I didn't realize how addicted to carbs I am. I still dribble slightly when I walk near candy!

I have lost some weight and that has been great.

I have spent more time feeling sick than I can explain but luckily I have been reading on here and a lot of people say that is normal. I think someone explained it as healing reactions. If that is true or not I don't know but it has kept me plugging away so it was all I needed.

I probably would have given up if it wasn't for that word healing!

So I am doing OK but I slip up here and there but I can feel my health getting better and I'm losing weight.

Yay.

Hello everyone and Im happy to be here.

Welcome Carson and congrats on your progress. I've been LCing since mid-May and, although this isn't the first time, it's the first time I've felt really successful and that this is my WOE for life. I've committed to purchases of LC staples to enjoy a variety of foods; I know I need sweets in my life, but most times I'm not very hungry and can have a few drinks once or twice a week without totally stalling. It just feels "doable" and I'll stick it!

All the best to you!

Hello, Yes it is slowly getting easier as I go along. In the future I think I may not miss all of the candy but who knows. I am quite enjoying this though really.
It is quite a challenge and it is nice to see results.
I'm not putting too much pressure on myself. I spent many years putting the weight on so I don't expect it to come off in a day.
It's fun and cool to see so many others doing to same things.

Congrats! It does get easier the longer you stay away from the bad stuff. The worst of the worst is grains, in particular, wheat!

I just repeat the word "poison" whenever I see something yummy and tempting and totally bad for me.
