I need to lose weight and 8lbs in four weeks is doable (I've done it before) but not crazy starvation-diet reckless. Anyone want to join me?

Thanks for the lunch suggestion LemonDifficult they sound really nice, and filling too. I find that's the worse thing about only having a tiny lunch, by 3pm I'm ravenous again!

Has anyone tried these low carb diets at all and did you find they worked? I've heard that they are good at shifting weight quickly but I don't think I could do it long term. Do you think it would work doing low carb to shift the weight and then maintaining the weight loss with reduced carbs but not low carb IYSWIM? I think I'd die if could never eat pasta or potatoes again in order to stay slim!

I low carbed for a year. Lost almost 5 stone. Just the last 7 pounds to shift now. It does work. But I think like any diet the ore you have to loose the better and faster it worked. I feel now I have to exercise a diet to get rid of these last few pounds. Not exercised properly in a yearBlush

I think you may have hit the nial on the head bananamam I only have 9 lb to go and it is seriously tricky to shift it. The thing that always worries me is whether I will then have to subside on air and fluff for the rest of my days in order to maintain said desired weight, or whether I may be able to introduce some nice things back to my diet.

Oops, sorry whoever nial is for hitting him on the head Grin I meant to say nail!
