I think that LC is like quitting smoking. It often takes several tries for the person to finally be successful. Because you need to actually learn how to live and maintain the low carb lifestyle, and it is perfectly possible to lose weight but never learn or internalize the principles that will keep the weight off forever. I personally did not learn the first round that I had to do this for life. This time, I am glad my weight loss has been slower because I am learning how to live my life. Good luck to you, and don't be ashamed!
