With the food lies, I still sometimes kind of wonder if I'm not doing things the wrong way. Sometimes I'll see a new diet I havent' heard of, or I'll read about something, and I'll wonder if being LC isn't the wrong choice, because it's a life-long way of eating. Then I have to realize, I tried all those high carb/low cal diets and I got this way. I would eat under 1200 calories at 380lbs, and still not lose weight.

There's the weight loss you've already experienced - which is absolutely wonderful, BTW! - But another thing that should tell you that you're on the right track is how you feel on LC as compared to low fat.
Personally, I had no energy on anything other than LC. I always felt sluggish, tired, lethargic, listless, and worst of all, inappropriately sleepy. I could handle the lack of energy - I attributed it to all the weight I was dragging around, and the lack of physical conditioning. But that didn't explain the constant desire to lie down and take a nap, when I'd already slept all night.
Shortly after I started back on LC though, not only did my energy and stamina improve, I can actually get through days without the sleepiness (from those blood sugar crashes) hitting me constantly throughout the day.
