[QUOTE="Resurgam, post: 1639132, member: 355878"] I had a rock hard middle, and a huge waistline - more an equator, but it all went on eating things supposed to lower cholesterol not that terrible low carb diet which should not be allowed - but after some months eating low carb foods just as I did when I was a lot thinner, my waistline began to shrink and my 'bay window' look changed - but it was not an overnight thing. I can eat anything, just about, so I do, restricting only high carb foods. I can eat up to 60 gm of carbs in a day but usually stay lower. My weight was all on my middle and I have had to consciously alter how I stand now that I am not having to deal with it all. Nuts and cheese are things I eat, though not every week, as I find that there are so many foods which I can eat, rather than having to avoid that I have even wasted foods by not eating them in time. I stood on the scales thing morning and realized that I have lost more weight, without even trying, but I expect that it will slow down and stop when I get back to something reasonable. I put the scales away when I am low carbing as a regular thing - though it will perhaps be another year before I do that having been on a high carb diet for about two years and seen the weight piling on like crazy - do more exercise was the advice, when I could hardly walk for my knees hurting. Thank goodness that is gone now. I would think that you can maintain weight and eat more, just not high carb foods. Being able to maintain weight is far more difficult than losing it. One reason for Atkins being so successful is that there are four parts to it, and there is a lot of advice about slowing down and maintaining, just as much as starting off and losing. My reduction in waistline was nothing to do with weightloss - in fact I lost hardly anything whilst my waist shrank about 8 inches - it is a foot smaller than last year. [/QUOTE]
