Me too
Softmoon said it well.
This is my 4th time, Each time I retried I got better and better doing the low carb. I've been on Induction for 25 days now and I don't think I'm stopping. I don't feel deprived at all.
First the positive: By being on a low carb diet before you know what works and doesn't work. You know your weaknesses and your cravings. So you can prepare yourself for them. You don't get so frantic.
The negative: You won't lose weight as fast and you need to lower your carbs even more... at first... to get the weight going. Also you need to extend your induction or stay on the plan you are on much longer before you do lose, your body expects you to go off the diet. It takes more convincing.
More good news: The Health benifits come back as soon as you start low carbing. More energy, depression/anxiety lessens, asthma goes away (make sure you have no food allergies), you go into Ketosis relatively easy, and the appetite surpression appears, however in me it wasn't as strong as before.
I hoped I answered some of your questions.
Welcome back!
