Hi there,

I am getting right confused here! I've been reading bits about the different LC diets and they all seem to work in their way. Why do they all work when they have differing allowances of Carbs? I've ordered some books from my library and will read in more detail, but I wondered if anyone had some simple explanations.

Also, for me I seem to be subconsciously scared to increase my carb levels much above Induction for fear of gaining or not loosing. I'm loosing about 1lb a week although sometimes it seems I go for longer than a week without loosing a lb. As I increase my carbs should I look to decrease fat or cals


What have other people found in terms of how high their carb levels can go before they stop loosing, I'd hate to think that not much more that 20 30 had to be it for life whereas other LC diets allow more to loose on, see why I'm confused. I just need a very simple explanation to work it all out.

I lost over 8 lb is the first 10 days on Induction but was probably eating more carbs than now in the way of salads etc now I know how much I'm eating as I'm checking Fitday every hour!! I think it's becoming obsessive, I was better off guessing

I've been reading postings here from people saying they haven't lost weight in ages and they have been doing the Atkins diet for absolutely ages, what's going on why? Suggestions of 'becoming' insulin resistant being on this diet, I'd be scared of this happening to me, any comments? I've only been on it since the beginning of February so early days, but I do feel the need for more veggies and fruit, the latter however, is not allowed much on Atkins, hence the quest into other LC diets which do, again help

Anyway hope this all makes sense maybe I am too impatient to loose.

Hope someone can help, my eyes are getting boggly with reading so much info all day, I need to rest from this I think and just eat LC sensibly! Whadya think?

HELP going mad with all this info.

Banana bye
