I'm personally not on the diet. I've heard some bad things, health wise, about the side effects of this plan. One is higher cholesterol. My husband's boss was on the diet for 2 months, and went in for a checkup both before, and at 2 months, and her cholesterol was almost double what it had been. She had to be weaned off it, and ws put on cholesterol meds immediatly.
Another two or three people who have gone on it ended up gaining the weight back almost immediatly after they stopped, because their bodies weren't used to all the carbs they suddenly were able to eat, and couldn't process them.
So, low carb and no carb are not the way for me.
People have been eating carbs for thousands of years, and getting skinny with them, so I don't see the big deal in losing them when.
BTW- for anyone who is into the losing weight thing, keep control on how much you lose, because regardless of the meathod, losing too much is bad for you. Take it slow and easy.
