    Why is low-carb harder the second time around?

    Why is low-carb harder the second time around? | The Blog of Michael R. Eades, M.D.

    When I put out the call for what people wanted to read about on this blog in 2009, numerous folks commented that they would like to know why it seems so much more difficult to successfully follow a low-carb diet the second or third time around. Over the years I’ve noticed this phenomenon in myself and in many others whom I have treated or advised, so it’s truly a subject worthy of exploration.

    I’m going to list the reasons experience has taught me below, starting with situations over which we have no control and ending with those over which we have total control.

    Wondering how to get 'most' of your net carbs from your induction veggies?

          Excellent article! Dr. Mike is right on target, as usual!
          People who say it can't be done, should not interrupt those doing it.
