Low Carb Diet Experience

"I started my low carb diet a few months ago, and so far so good. I went and got the low carb diet books and read all about what I was allowed to consume. I was amazed at all the tasty treats in there. It has made a major difference in the way I feel. I not only feel healthier, but I look great. Everyone notices the weight I lost and they are proud of me. I've never felt this good in my whole life. I'm glad I found this diet and I plan on watching what I eat from now on."

"I don't do the diet thing anymore for one big reason. With most diets I realize that in order to be "successful," you have to sacrifice in one area. Like with the low carb diet plans, you cut the carbs, but you also cut out important proteins and nutrients a body needs. That can't be safe. Right? It just seems as though balance is the better, healthier way to go. I went back and reread my low carb diet book and saw that maybe I was wrong. Perhaps this was what I had been looking for."

- Jerry, Indiana

"A low carb diet plan, really? I figured this would be akin to torture because, I'll be honest, I love bread. Of all kinds. So when I heard that this wasn't permitted if I were to focus on just low carb diet food, I got pretty down about it. But then I saw that I could consume plenty of bacon and a great deal of eggs and that was good enough for me."
