I started low carb 3 month ago. I'm not following any plan strictly, not looking for a fast weight loss.I cut out rice/noodle/cake, things like that. And reduced my daily calorie intake by 600. Started jogging every other day too. However, all this work, didn't lose a single pound.....It just messed up my period, that's all it did....

Now I'm wondering, is low carb diet simply not for me? Since I do not eat sweets originally. I just never had much sugar in my diet to start with. I ate rice/noodle. When I ate bread, I usually go for whole wheat ones anyway. I ate lots of veges and fruits to replace those things I cut out, the low fat factor is causing me to constipate too...So I started adding more fat/oil in my diet now to solve this issue. I also have pretty slow metabolism.

Does anyone know what might be the issue here?

Low carb needs to be high fat to work,I think you went too low on calories which can cause all sorts of problems.

Sounds like your attempt at LC is kind of half-hearted, reading your other thread about your period it sounds like you added in quite a lot of carbs.

You can't really tell if it works or not if you don't actually follow some sort of plan.

I agree with the other posters....just try to stay as close to low carb as you can and youll do better I bet.

If you don't know how much carbohydrate you were eating, in grams, then you can't know how much carbohydrate you were eating. I would suggest choosing a plan and reading that plan's book.

I agree with the others, you need to follow and embrace a plan, that way you'll understand how the low carb thing works. Do other forms of dieting work for you???
