Its taken me 5 years to lose 3 1/2 stone on low carb and I still need to lose 5 more (according to my BMI meh). I don't know why it takes so long but I get frustrated go on starvation diets, or extreme exercise to make it go faster but it doesn't seem to make any difference so I end up cheating a lot. Its just an ongoing struggle and no matter how much I try to loosen up about the whole thing I'm still consumed by it.

Thank you! This is brilliant!
Blimey, how can anyone not like this video?
I'm hypoglycemic. I gave up sugar in high school. I started with the highest sugar crap: candy, ketchup, breakfast cereals. Yes, it takes both time and will power to give up sugar. For me, the alternative was fainting a lot and then becoming diabetic.

Ancel Keys made up the cholesterol hypoth.

Nice vid. I'd have to add, the cholesterol levels, while nice to be lower, aren't all that important. Studies show it's vastly more important to decrease arterial inflammation.

@VariedInterest Dope, the newest study was just released today and lo and behold, everyone acts surprised that the Low Carb diet LOWERED people HDL.

Ketosis is great. I am always in ketosis and I am not hungry at all. i wish more people understood the benefits of cutting out carbs. i have been takingin less than 20 gm carbs a day for 2 months now. Never felt better.
On the end of day 3 of a very low carbohydrate diet. My body is screaming for carbs every moment of the day, and today I broke down and had some peanuts and snacks. Very little, like 10 grams of snacks.
Still researching this. For example today I only realized that mayonaise + tuna + pepper = a quick and simple tuna salad with zero carbs! How hilarious it this. I should look into other combinations, in case I just get plain bored of steak and chicken every day har har

@piecharthosen This is exactly the pattern I teach... 3-4 days on low carbs, one day on higher carbs. It's a bit more tricky than that of course, otherwise you'll make yourself sick on the higher-carb day. everyotherdaydiet [ d o t ] com explains the process. Also, I mix a lot of fish (flounder is my favorite) with chicken, consuming 1 serving only a day of chicken or beef. Fish, egg whites (with one yolk) and whey make up the bulk of my protein.

Thanks 1975supermike... I could not agree more. Nor could dozens of studies over the past two years; the largest being the massive "4-Diet Study" where even a diet as low-carb radical as Atkins still managed to out-perform low-fat and moderate-carb diets in lowering lipids (except HDL; HDL rose) and weight loss was superior.
People like VariedInterest just live to insult others. I have learned never to let their own misery bother me too much. ; )
