Initially I didn't count calories at all and still lost weight. Now I'm having to be a bit more careful. I think the answer is what Goonergal said- some very low carbs are also of a nature that it is easy to overeat. For me the list is again similar. I'm not likely to overeat fish or meat. Possible overeat pork crackling (actually is that possible?) more likely to overeat nut butters or chocolate. So while my blood sugars are okay I can put on weight. What I have found helps is intermittent fasting. One or two meals a day helps. Also keeping away from some of my temptations. In my personal view starting off just focusing on blood sugars worked for me as I moved away from a carb heavy diet I needed what comforts I could find in thin gs like dark chocolate and double cream. Even now when particularly stressed or upset I have some. The thing it took my emotions some time to get around d is that this is for life it is not a diet. For me I found that having some low carb substitutes helped me while I processed it emotionally.Good luck and welcome.</blockquote>
