Get behind me, French Satan!
I lost 9 pounds and we had Thanksgiving!

This thread inspired me to switch over to a low-carb diet.
I lost 9 pounds in 4 weeks - only another 14 to go.
And then it will be Christmas.....

It was actually somewhat easier than I expected. The hardest part was avoiding the typical late afternoon feeding frenzy I engage in when I get home from work, and instead slowly eat a fish-and-vegetable dinner.

I casually listened to this while working, but what I took away was:
- protein: 1.5x (up to 3x if weight training) grams per kg of ideal body weight (so 185 pounds = 120g of protein at the 1.5 level if not working out)
- fish/omega 3
- veggies
- fluids
Prefer whole foods for protein (and veggies of course) as it helps long-term eating habits. Inherent calories that come with whole foods are ok.
Other carbs, fats, etc... not essential.
To keep muscle, low-volume high-intensity only 2-3x a week. Longer workouts and cardio, get worse results.
