With all the talk around here lately about super low carb and no carb food plans, I wonder just how many people actually have success with them and get to their goal weights.

It appears to me thorugh my reading here, that atkins and SB are v ery similar in maintenance but differ at the start(induction and phase I) and OWL and phase II. They become more similar in Maintenance and Phase III.

For me, I would not have been able to sustain a M&E type food plan for almost 2 yrs to lose my weight. Nor a Paleo or other no carb plan. I enjoy and do well eating veggies and fruit.

I'm very curious about other people who have had success with their chosen plan. Who has had success getting to goal and staying there on M&E or other no carb plans? Who has had success on low or controlled carb plans?

In the end, its the success at getting to our goal weight and maintaining it with health and vigor, that counts.
