I browse this board mostly to help my husband, as he's a low carber (or was) - I followed a modified BFL plan and have almost 200 carbs a day, not including the 30-40 grams of fiber - so maybe 150 'net' (just finished a giant bowl of oatmeal with whey!). Of course, these are 'good' carbs (whole grains, veggies, etc) ..

Anyways, am having no problems maintaining a 45 pound weight loss, my blood pressure is outrageously low and so is my cholesterol. My good cholesterol is high, bad cholesterol very low - might have something to do with two bowls of oatmeal a day. LOL.

I could not maintain a low carb lifestyle - it's just not for me. I think an earlier poster is correct -there's a difference between a ' eat good carbs, skip sugar/white flour, eat lean meats etc' and 'I can eat this whole box of snackwells because it's fat free'. LOL!
