I started going "lower" carb on July 7 and it seems to be working for me. I am curious if anyone else is doing anything similar.

For a few days before starting this WOE, I tracked everything I ate, not changing anything. My carbs were well above 200. So my first goal was to have no more than 150 carbs per day. The first couple of weeks I fluctuated between 100 and 150 carbs and lost weight. At my starting weight that sort of made sense to me!

I then discovered fitday.com and started tracking everything I eat there. Now my goal is no more than 100 carbs per day and no more than 2000 calories. When I run my report for the last 7 days at fitday, I'm averaging 1799 calories and 88 carbs. And the weight is melting off. In the last 7 days I've lost 4.5 lbs.

Maybe this will get harder as I lose more, but it seems to be working well for me right now. If you've gone "lower" carb, rather than low carb, any pitfalls to watch out for? Thanks!
