Reducing carbs is what many people here do, but in my view this is not the full story.If you reduce carbs only you will go hungry and this is not sustainable. This leads to what [USER=22428]@lovinglife[/USER]  termed  "vicious cycle".For the  same reason, diets based on reducing calories are bound to fail, which then leads to yo-yo dieting. This is a great business model for diet companies, but causes so much misery.I would rather say, replacing carbs with fat and protein is what works.So depending on your taste, dairy products, such as cheese,  eggs, cream, full fat yogurt  as well as meats, including bacon, lamb shoulder, roasts, a whole chicken,  olive oil, nuts are great. Lots of vegetables are ok, too, but your mileage may vary.Fatty food has the advantage that it is more satiating, so will not make you hungry again after 2 hours.Despite being told for decades that fat is bad for you, the evidence  does not support this, [USER=517579]@KennyA[/USER] can link to a recent study.I've banned all low-fat foods from my fridge. I also eat lots of vegetables, salads (with olive oil and vinegar dressing) and soup,Best wishes.</blockquote>
