The latter is more important, especially if one is already overweight.

What's more important - learning to eat a diet that is low in carb or
learning to eat a diet of low carb food? I believe it's the former
because
it means that it makes one live comfortably even when surrounded by all
kinds of food. The con is, though, is more temptations lead to more
failures.

Milk - it's around 5g per 100ml, so it can be fitted into a low-carb
diet
if
the dieter isn't drinking too much of it and if the dieter isn't aiming
to
do induction.

Wheat products and milk have never been low carb.

I've been trying faithfully to lose using low carb (20g per day)
for
over
a
year and no luck.
After 18 months I was still the same weight.
I started to believe that it was horses for courses, and that LC
wasn't
for
everyone.

So, I tried something I did 20 years ago and it seems to be working.
I continued my LC diet, but also religiously dropped all
wheat/gluten
from
my diet, AND all dairy.

Guess what? I've started to lose slowly but regularly.
But, any sniff of either gluten/wheat/dairy immediately causes me to
stall,
and sometimes gain.
The amount of food I eat doesn't seem to come into play on this
one -
within
reason of course.
So, maybe there's something in food intolerance after all?

So is broccoli. Maybe I wouldn't be so fat if I stopped eating broccoli.

Lack of common sense paves the road to idiocy. The percentage of carbs in
a particular food is only one factor in losing weight, and not the most
important factor. Brocolli and pasta both have a higher percentage of
carbs than fat or protein, yet a cup of brocolli has far fewer total carbs.
The total number of carbs is more important, and calories are most
important. The majority of the time, your statements about which
particular foods are or are not low-carb is beyond unhelpful. I can see it
now:

Poster: "I eat nothing but 10 pounds of meat a day, plus a cup of coffee
with a tablespoon of milk in it. Why can't I lose weight?"

I have only 3 flaws. My first flaw is thinking that I only have 3 flaws.

Guess what?

Wheat products and milk have never been low carb.

1/2 cup of cottage cheese is 4 grams carb. I mix about a quarter cup
in with a vegetable/chicken breast thing I make to add a creaminess,
then don't have to add mayo which has a lot more calories. I also use
mayo and butter sparingly. I agree though, too much dairy is not a
good thing.

Wheat products are the devil's spawn.

Have you ever noticed how much added sugar is in many containers of cottage
cheese? Why do the manufacturers think they have to pump sugar in it?

Is that why you have trouble losing fat and I don't? Keep lying to yourself,
maybe someday that'll start working for you.
