    Hi, the first time I tried low carb I was following Atkins, but did not do it right and a few weeks later gave up.

    I have started again on 2nd of Jan but this time not only I wanted to do it right, but I also wanted to know better how it works. I read a bunch of books, one of which took me here and I can't believe it took me 40 years to understand how to eat properly.

    I was weighing 135Kg (297 pounds) and now I am at 123Kg (271 pounds). My aim is to get down to 95-100Kg (209-220 pounds) as I was 11 years ago. At 190cm (6.2 feet), big build and heavy muscles, it is going to take a while, probably until the end of the year. I am not in a hurry.

    I look forward to learn more in this forum and to exchange experiences.

    Best wishes,

    Hi Sweetman,

    welcome to LCE, and i hear ya on the learning how to eat right.

    when i first started oh so many moons ago... i read everything i could get my hands on...
    understanding the how's and why's of why this way of eating does work -- it just makes it all so clear.

    Stick to it, day by day... you will be feeling better, have more energy and honestly wont want to eat those carby foods that we used to.

    Good Luck on your Journey
