nerys-

well I have lost 48 pounds in 2 months (the most i have EVER lost on ANY diet including low carbing) and am still losing at a rapid rate??

I tried low carb. I LOVED IT but it has 2 problems. Extremely expensive and I stalled badly a LOT. Eventually the weight loss pretty much stopped. after a 2.5 week stall I gave up on low carbing. Pitty too cause it really did work well to start for the first 4 months I was doing it.

Logically all diets must inevitably be low calorie. the only way to get rid of 1 pound is to burn 3500 more cals than you use.

is this incorrect? I am seriously lacking in knowledge on this stuff. I am literally flying by the seat of my pants on this.

a few other consequences of this diet.

I have more energy I sleep better (not much) and my cravings decline

though a negative is if I cheat the cravings SURGE BACK like a vengeance and i mean badly. But as long as I don't do that the cravings stay under control.
