Cutting Carbs

[Meg888]

I've about 3 stone to lose, have tried several diets - with little success. If I was to completely cut out carbs, say, between Mon-Fri, and eat them in moderation at weekends could this work without actually having to calorie count etc.? I rarely eat choc/sweets/biscuits, so they're not a prob

Meg-if you want to eat low carb,you need to eat more fat...NOT low fat.
That low fat/low carby cheese is going to be super processed. Almost all cheese is very low carb-naturally.

There is a bit of science here - http://www.livestrong...t-and-low-carb-diets/

Thanks Pasta, that's very informative. I didn't realise that I could eat the higher fat foods. But I've hit the half stone mark this morn after 3 days on it. The food I've ate has been particularly bland so I might treat myself to a pork chop tonight!!

keep away from low fat, it generally means sugar or additives. 'Low Carb' foods are generally not as bad.
