Low-carb diets

Sustaining it

Ok so I spend a fair bit of time flicking through the great food ideas and similar here.
My question is simple.
Sustaining weight loss while some people see veggies (some) fruits (some) as a big no no. So far in 3 months I've shed 13 kg. I eat protein, the odd bit of potato, veggies and fruit.
I see it as sustainable. I can happily live without bread, pasta, rice, flour and most refined sugar, no artificial sweeteners.
I have not had any dramas shifting the weight.

So those who see carrots etc as "bad" where do you draw the line? Nutrients vs natural easy digestible carbs is my philosophy. Hence in moderation potatoes have more good nutrients and are highly digestible.
I certainly do not wish to lose weight any faster. I have another 10kg I want to lose to get back to pre 4 kids weight.
Just curious how those who are "no carb" will transition to live that way for a longtime? Grin

I'm not sure that very many people will do no carb. That doesn't leave you very much to eat does it? No carb would be only meat, fish, fat and eggs.

I don't think that carrots are bad or any other fruit or vegetable but I follow BIWIs BC and have for over a year now. I eat a huge variety of vegetables (but generally not carrots) and some fruits (melon and berries) in limited quantities. I don't feel that I am missing out on anything nutritionally.

If the way you are eating works for you then carry on, its obviously working Smile
