What I like about low carb

I'm glad things are going well for you.

Did you see 60 minutes Sunday? They had a rebroadcast on a two year old
story of folks who went to Durham for a fruit and rice, 1200 calorie diet.
In the update, all but one of the folks interviewed had regained their
weight. They quoted a statistic of 95% (or was it 96%?) regaining after
significant weight loss.

I am not on LC to lose weight, but to not regain weight and to not be
hungry. What I like about it, so far:

I can eat as much as I want.

I do not gain weight while eating as much as I want.

I eat yummy foods. I love eating fat.

I am not going hungry.

My morning blood sugar went down from 90-91 to 75, and is stable
throughout the day.

My knees, inexplicably, no longer hurt after running.

It is quite difficult for me to become physically tired now.

I feel like a normal person and, after I overeat, I am simply not
hungry for quite a while.

I am not counting anything, carbs, calories, etc etc. I am on paleo,
so it works out to perhaps 60 carbs per day, maybe even less.

So far, LC is a blessing to me, no less. I would love to take a blood
test and see what my lipid panel is like.

Thank you to all people who posted here, and who convinced me that LC
is not a dangerous fad and who made helpful suggestions to me
personally. Cubit, Jenny, amongst others.

On a fruit and rice diet, I think I'd easily regain all my weight.
There's no protein.

Wait longer. I'd say at least 6 months...even though, with stable weight
there should be less reason to wait, really. But letting thing settle down
& reach a steady state can't be a bad idea.

Best thing about low carbing is the natural appetite suppression.
Anyone that really thinks about obesity must realize that increased
appetite is the primary cause. Success rates among dieters is going
to be higher where the WOE is not a temporary deprivation. Low
carbing addresses cravings and appetite long term without requiring
huge amounts of willpower. Another nice side effect of low carbing is
the reduced risk of type II diabetes and its complications.

The 95 or 96% number is typical for all low-fat/low-cal diets.
