Os-carbie

Hello :wave: I am a new member who has been doing my own low carbing thing since March this year. Back in January I started 'eating less' of all food groups but found carbs made me hungry and binge :help: . Doing research I found a youtube video by Gary Taubes that blew my mind and set me on a new path. I bought his book Why We Get Fat (based on the video) and from there did other research, which brought me to LCHF.
So, with some trepidation I cut out most carbs; rice, potatoes, pasta, bread plus desserts and sweet stuff. Scary stuff.
Here I am, in July, still doing it and loving the sense of freedom it has given me. My eating is stable, in fact I eat less. I know this is because I eat more fat now. I have been measuring my body fat % which was 50% and is now currently 40%. I still have a long way to go but I've got the rest of my life now to get this figure down to a healthier %.
Just returned from a cruise where I successfully low carbed, a miracle! :D
