Been fighting my weight for 30 years. Did a low carb diet in my teens, but was advised by my doctor not to do it when I get older. Such is the prevailing wisdom about diet for the last three decades.
I've tried it all, and have exercised extensively over the years. (2700 miles on a bike over three summers and barely a dent in my weight.)
Then I read Gary Taubes' book, "Good Calories, Bad Calories". What a revelation that carbs are the culprit, saturated fat isn't proven to be bad, and dieting and exercise don't work real well if you still eat the carbs.
I've lost 25 pounds in two months, with slight setbacks on Thanksgiving and Christmas.
Doubt I will ever stop wanting bread, sweets, and pastries, but the realization that I can loose weight without being hungry all the time is a powerful tool.
Not sure about the forum, will need to poke around and figure it out.
