Low Carb Help

Low Carb Help Topics

If you want to learn about low-carb diets (e.g. the Atkins Diet, Protein Power Diet, South Beach Diet, or other low carb plans), this is a great place to start. The most important tip we can give you is this: no one diet works for every "body." In fact, we've come to believe that no one diet works for any one "body" at every stage of life. You'll fine-tune your eating plan as you learn what works for you and what doesn't. We want to help.

The route to success with low carb dieting (or any weightloss program) is to understand that you are making permanent lifestyle changes—not simply going through the motions "until you lose the weight." So stop thinking "diet" and start finding your Low Carb Zen, baby!

Chamnem's road to LC

The last time I weighed what I was supposed to weigh was in 8th grade. I weighed 140 pounds(I'm 5'10'), and I thought I was fat then! This was during the era of Twiggy, my best friend was a size three, and both of my brothers were sticks.

I've tried every diet known to man, some of them more than once. I was able to lose significant weight a few times, but I could never sustain the diet long enough to hit goal. Then, of course, I would gain back all I had lost, plus some. Sounds familiar, doesn't it? Over the years, my weight ballooned up over 300 pounds.
