vlp1968 83 Posted August 5, 2012 I have stuggled over the past year or so with regain, I initially lost 107 pounds, have regained about half of that. Wow, never thought that would happen. I had success with a very low carb diet. I am finally going back to that. I tried just counting calories and eating "good carbs" but didn't stick to it. I think the "good carbs" caused cravings. I started the ultra low carb (also fairly low fat and prettty low cal) diet today. It has gone pretty well, but am struggling tonight. I want something sweet! I know if I can hang in there for a few days the cravings will diminish. I am doing pretty well with excersise, which I will of course continue. I have some very nice clothes I want to fit into again! Wish me luck and thanks for reading. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
