Hi, I'm new to the forum and this is just my second post. I know the thread is old but I thought I'd share why I wanted to quit LC and explain now why I'm back.
I was just on a severly restricted low carb diet (basically 90% meat, breakfast, lunch and dinner) for a month and thought I'd have to make some kind of changes because of bad breath, body odor, and pardon me for saying, extremely foul smelling BM. I was feeling good, rarely hungry, and had plenty of energy for 6 days a week vigorous exercise but the odors were becoming a problem. I added what I thought were healthy carbs at regular intervals, you know - fruit, whole grains and veggies, and that took care of the odor problem. But before I knew what happened I was guzzling pepsi and chowing down on extra large bags of Doritos sitting in front of the tube. I lost the energy to exercise (I was sometimes doing 2 a days and then couldn't do one session for two days in a row) and was feeling moody, tired, and constantly hungry.
I was explaining this to a family member and later that day happened across the Heller's Carb Addict book. Yes, I"d heard of them before but wrote them off without reading because I thought its theory was an excuse for a lack of willpower. Til I had my own episodes of uncontrolled carb eating that is. :-)
So now I"m headed back to LC but I'm debating going back to my very strict regimen, the CAD, or a paleo version of the Warrior Diet.
Hope this isn't too old a thread to bring this up again. I did enjoy writing about my experience though! Thanks for reading.
