My weight is still in a downward trajectory. This month I'm down about half a pound a week. I haven't been strict about a carb level recently. Some days its around 80g, some 30g. I've been eating as my stomach dictates, i guess I'm doing good. I'm a little confused, do you think i should be trying to keep a consistent carb level? any insight would be great

Hi, Narmical! You asked quite a question. What do we do when our weight gets too low? I had been overweight all my life, so being underweight was beyond my wildest dreams! I was 185 when I graduated to high school, and at age 58 started my weight loss of 210 pounds. True, I had 'sorta' reached goal a couple of times in my 20's, but immediately went out and 'celebrated.' So I 'maintained' it around 10 seconds. Now I occasionally get on the scale (like today) and I'm under my goal weight of 132 to 134. First, what I do NOT do. I do NOT 'celebrate.' I do NOT 'treat' myself to special foods since I have an allergy to flour and sugar that sets up uncontrollable cravings. I DO add back 3 ounces of carb (brown rice) per day until I'm back at goal. That is how I handle veering under weight. I reached goal in May 2009, and it works for me.

I guess I understood your post differently than others, so I will preface my comments with - if you are not worried about losing a bit more weight, it is normal and fine to eat a different amount of carbs on different days. I average about 40-70 carbs on any given day. I eat what appeals to me within my allowed foods and don't really worry too much about being consistent from day to day.

Thanks all for the feedback. I'll just keep on keeping on eating what strikes me within allowable foods. I'm not worried about being underweight yet. After all a goal weight is rather arbitrary and I'm only like 5 pounds from it.

Back when I starved my self thin, i got down to 142 and my wife's grandma thought I had cancer or something. So far, no comments like that on low carb!
