How about the old fashioned, low-fat, low-calorie diet? No specific name, just good 'ol exercise & countin calories.

I agree with that, That is what I am doing. Counting calories, and Counting carbs. I am really glad that I was good in math, with all the counting that I am doing... LOL

I'm counting calories and carbs. I can't help myself. It's something that I learned from the first diet I ever went on 34 years ago. I still think counting calories is important. But one of the big benefits to a low carb diet is that the body goes into a state of ketosis, which is a natural appetite suppressant. Low fat diets don't give you that benefit and most people complain about being hungry. When you're hungry you tend to eat more. So, that's why I chose to do a low carb plan.


I applaud you if you are able to stick with a low fat diet. I had tried many times in the past and was almost a human yo yo from losing and gaining. I decided that I had to try something different or I was always going to get the same results. Low carb is what's working for me and it's something that I firmly believe I can live with for the rest of my life.
