I guess I'm not the best person on the planet for giving advice on sticking to diets!! I'm always on and off! I felt your desperation though and thought I'd tell you my experience: I think LC is the right choice for excellent health but such a low amount of carbs per day just made me feel really really sluggish and got me depressed.

I think that as far as carb needs go (whether they be psycological, social or physical) everyone's different. You don't have that much weight to lose, so my suggestion would be not to fling yourself head first into induction, which is really really tough especially on the mind, I lose weight even at about 100g a day, if I were you I'd be a little kinder on myself.

Depression is a bad beast to fight, so don't beat yourself up on all fronts.... take it slower, maybe you'll lose slower but what the heck, you don't deserve to suffer so much. Love yourself and your baby. I took so long to realise that I'm worth so much more than the size of my pants!!!

I mean, if Jennifer Lopez can be considered Hollywood's most gorgeous butt you can bet I can find mine attractive !!!!

Anyway that's just my opinion, I just hope you're feeling better by now. I see you haven't answered in awhile, let us know how you're feeling!!!!

PS Talking about "we're all different" I read that Committed can only get the water down if it's ice cold right? Well, I can drink about half a litre in one shot, provided it's room temperature. So try a few things before deciding what's good for you, and check out the thread about Quality of life vs. Rapid Weight Loss...
