My husband, slow but steady...
My husband started low carbing early in November, and a few days ago he had a doctor appointment. He's lost 15 pounds in 5 months.
Admittedly he is not strict about it. He has a chronic condition that makes him feel lousy sometimes, and at those times he'll have ice cream or donuts, but I think he probably averages around 100 grams a day, because other times he will be much better. He likes the food very much and has completely eliminated such things as sugared yogurt, cereal, and switched to low carb bread.
In our discussions of "half-assedKins" I'm sure he would qualify. Still, he has lost weight, something his condition makes very difficult, and this experience has renewed his resolve. Also, his blood pressure has gone from 140/98 to 128/78, which is great!
I offer this as my experience, which is that any carb cutting will be beneficial. Perhaps not fast, but it does have benefits.
