Trying low carb for the first time
Hello all,
Been on a diet for most of my adult life, have always been a larger guy, 17stone at 16 years old! School wasn't much fun... Lost four stone when I turned 20 as I wasn't well for a couple of years and didn't eat much, ended up at 12st 7, looked great but felt terrible. Ate really healthily and exercised loads for four years, stayed around 13stone, but then work has taken over and I don't get time to exercise as much. Weight has crept on over the last five or six years, probably a stone a year, and now I've crept up to 17st 7, the heaviest I've ever been. Still eating 'healthily', but it makes no difference. I watch those 'Secret Eater' type programmes just in case I do that... but I don't!
In frustration, I'm going to give the low carb diet a go, I have very strong will power so I'm not worried about committment. I've joined the forum to get recipe ideas, and see how others are getting on with it, and also to recognise any side effects as they happen. I'm interested to read of others who have eaten 'healthily' and yet put on weight with a 'normal' diet.
