I'm trying low carb again

[lottieandmias]

This time I've made a few modifications. Last time I managed to get down to 8 stone 1 which is what I wanted and then suddenly I got really ill - stomach cramps etc.

So this time I've tried cutting down the amount of protein I've been having and not eating many eggs and it seems to be working a lot better

Me too. I lost pretty close on 2 stone 18 months ago on boot camp. 8lb has crept back on. I started again on Monday and already lost 4lb.

Onward and downward

just about to restart this weekend! I've been so skint the last 2 months it's been bread and pasta an awful lotto make sure the kids had the good stuff. looking forward to being less bloaty.

Trying to low carb as well but kind of winging it at the minute

It definitely works very dramatically but I think some people (me!) react badly to too much protein.

constipation? I get kidney pain with low carbon occasionally but cards make me feel ill anyway, haven't found anything that doesn't have some trade off.

No, I was violently ill and found I couldn't stomach any protein at all. So this time I've taken it much more slowly.

I can eat lower carb but cannot eat all the added fat and dairy and not too many nuts. If I do I get wind and terrible diarrhea . Also if I eat too much fat I get gallbladder attacks occasionally which are the most painful cramps next to labour pains. So be careful of fat.
