I agree with Jim - there are many different versions of the low-carb diet, some are more drastic than others. Generally, the more drastic the plan, the more drastic the re-gain if you 'fall off the wagon.' Most of the re-gain is water weight. Plus, many people find that wheat causes bloating, too, so that's a re-gain factor. Even if *low* carbing might not be for you, *moderate* carbing would be a good idea for everybody. Sugar and processed grains are not good.

(whisper)I drink like a fish sometimes, too. I find eating low carb the next day definitely feels better. Alcohol screws up your blood sugar.

Cool, you saw my journal. Start one!
