Because I’m tired of starving.
Because counting calories doesn’t work, and makes me unhappy.
Because I came to the realization that I’m a carb and sugar addict.
Because I don’t have that much weight to lose, therefore I figured I’d do it even if it was unhealthy because it would only be temporary (I had no idea about the positive effects I would experience once on the “diet”).
Because that’s how all the movie stars stay so svelte.
Because several real people I know lost lots of weight on this diet, even though I happen to know they have absolutely no willpower.
Because I don’t want to eat randomly anymore.
Because I don’t want to be a slave to my cravings anymore.
Because I’m tired of not getting results from “being good” and eating low-fat.
Because I like to eat.

I had misconceptions like everyone else. What I found out is:

Low carb doesn’t mean no carb, so you’re body is still getting what it needs.
You can have a balanced diet thru no-carb. Supplements aren’t intended to “replace” foods you aren’t getting, as is often alleged by medical opponents.
You don’t have to reduce calories to lose weight.
Fat isn’t evil.
Counting calories doesn’t work.
Low carbers don’t go around just eating bacon and eggs. It’s actually a health-conscious diet!

I’m a happy convert.
