[quote="GI Jane"]I am not a fan of "diets" because they are not sustainable over the long term. I will admit the low carb diet does work for losing weight, however, it is not a long term weight loss solution. It can also be difficult because if you deprive yourself of carbs, you will crave them like crazy. So, my two cents, the low cab diet will work if you are an actor or model trying to lose a few pounds for a short term goal of a few weeks, but over the long term you will go back to eating carbs and gain the weight back. If you are looking for a long term weight loss solution, you should look at your lifestyle and make healthy changes over time that will eventually lead to a healthier lifestyle and sustained weight loss.[/quote]

We we do here with the LookCut Method is to help you understand that processed carbs work like a drug, meaning processed carbs promote binging and addictive behavior. <br /> <br />You need to understand what happens when you have them and how to deal with them. That way you know when you can eat them and when eating them will promote weight gain and hunger. <br /> <br />Conversely, one of the best ways to lean up is by the use of whole food carbs. One of the tricks is to look at the ratio of fiber to energy in a carb. Lots of fiber, low energy always promotes weight loss and fat loss.</span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="22%" align="left" valign="top" class="row2"><span class="name"><a name=""></a><b>pef1996</b></span></td> <td class="row2" height="28" valign="top"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="100%"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/icon_minipost.gif" width="12" height="9" alt="Post" title="Post" border="0" /><span class="postdetails">Posted: Fri Jan 02, 2009 6:33 pm<span class="gen"></span>Post subject: </span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody">Yes, it's hard to stick to the low carb especially when there's so many good things during the holidays!
