Just wheat. No carbs for breakfast. sandy on "Who has had success with a low-carb diet?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-has-had-success-with-a-low-carb-diet#post-207134 Fri, 29 Jun 2012 20:54:18 +0000 sandy 207134@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I gave up carbs when we got engaged and the weight melted off. I had tried eating healthy with carbs and exercise and even though i was trim I still has problem areas. But when I gave up carbs those problem areas disappeared for the fist time in my life. I was under a 100 lbs in high school and never got back under a 100 until I gave up carbs. My husband has been doing low carb since April and he has lost 30 lbs. he basically doesn't eat any carbs except for vegetables and even then he limits the amount of green beans he eats. I still eat some carbs but I limit them too...and I am at 107 lbs (I gained about 50 lbs during my pregnancy) brownsquirrel on "Who has had success with a low-carb diet?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-has-had-success-with-a-low-carb-diet#post-207115 Fri, 29 Jun 2012 20:29:06 +0000 brownsquirrel 207115@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We're paleo and I dropped weight a little weight when we first started, but husband lost 20 lbs. in the first month! We'll see what it does to my weight gain this pregnancy.. mrbee on "Who has had success with a low-carb diet?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-has-had-success-with-a-low-carb-diet#post-207099 Fri, 29 Jun 2012 20:12:10 +0000 mrbee 207099@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I've lost a ton of weight going low carb in the past. Here's a great overview of low-glycemic diets versus other types of diets (I prefer that to Atkins or Zone): <a href="http://opinionator.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/06/26/which-diet-works/" rel="nofollow">http://opinionator.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/06/26/which-diet-works/</a> I'm actually going "slow carb" right now, which is going really well.

Dunno why, but I feel like I had done it for so long previously that it had no effect on my body anymore. mrs. wagon on "Who has had success with a low-carb diet?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-has-had-success-with-a-low-carb-diet#post-207095 Fri, 29 Jun 2012 20:07:56 +0000 mrs. wagon 207095@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Same as @banana here! I never tried a low carb diet (I'm asian, so no rice and noodles was just a non-negotiable!) and had success with a low cal diet (Weight Watchers), but as soon as I fell off the wagon (heh) it all came back within a year. By staying low-carb (and not even strictly so) and managing portion sizes, ever since I started the GD diet around the beginning of the third trimester I've only gained about 5 lbs. 30 lbs total and hoping to stay there until the end of the pregnancy 3 weeks from now! banana on "Who has had success with a low-carb diet?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-has-had-success-with-a-low-carb-diet#post-207036 Fri, 29 Jun 2012 19:24:04 +0000 banana 207036@https://boards.hellobee.com/ i was forced to go low-carb because of GD and man... it works! I only gained 25 lbs with my first pregnancy and am on track to do the same with this pregnancy. There would be NO WAY I could maintain 25 lbs without going low-carb.
