I began LCing for health rather than weight loss and so I never felt the need to go as low as some people do. I also hate counting and weighing stuff. I don't really count carbs. What I do is eat foods that are relatively low carb. I do eat high carb foods, but if I am going to do that I eat a very small portion. On the occasions that I decide to plug stuff into fitday, I seem to eat around 70g/day (sometimes less, sometimes more).

I did try Atkins induction once about two months ago. I did lose about 4lbs, but I didn't like the way it made me feel. I also felt that my thinking was becoming disordered, as it became about which foods I could "afford" to eat as though foods were nothing more than the carbs they were made of. When I quit induction and quit counting stuff, I felt a great sense of relief and clarity, almost like I had come out from under Sylvia Plath's bell jar of carb-counting insanity.
