Post Low Fat vs Low Carb

the three hardest things about:

Low Fat:
1. I was eating every hour. I never felt full for longer than 20 minutes. I could eat a full meal and feel stuffed but if a delicious dessert came out, I would eat that too!

2. I had aches, pains, allergies, sleepiness (!), lack of motivation... and somehow I had to have energy to exercise?

3. Food was either Sweet or Bland.

Low Carb:
1. Keeping myself organized: Making sure I have my breakfast and lunches covered for work. Making sure I get all my water in, vitamins taken, exercising done. Time management is a must on-the-job-training skill.

2. Not being able to eat any where impulsively. Going out with Friends feeling self consious. Being left out of office lunches.

3. My biggest thing is Cravings, I have to always watch out for sugar or wheat cravings. Sometimes I think I'm doing good but the salad dressing on my salad had sugar and next thing I know, my stomach growls and I'm hungry again! Very annoying.
