[QUOTE="cugila, post: 152369, member: 15325"] Well done LGC. Just goes to show that we are all different. I managed to just [b]reduce[/b] the carbs down to an average of around 60 - 80g carbs per day and yet still managed to lose over 5 1/2 stone. I still eat carbs as and when I want so my diet is a probably more varied than some. I love a full english twice a week. I steer clear of baked beans though.....way to many carbs for the likes of me ! I use low GI/GL methods so my portion sizes are strictly controlled and carb intake restricted. I did try true low carbing but it really wasn't for me. I still have great results, BG numbers all good pre and post meals. So it is possible to achieve what you want without low carbing, mind you compared to what I previously ate, you could say I am low carbing........some guru decided that my level is too high. I suppose it all depends on where you started from....... So I would have to say reduce those carbs to whatever allows you to get good control......once you have lost some weight as well you should find that you can tolerate more of those 'nasty' carbs ! Like Sid says it's a lifestyle change........not a diet. I had to laught when I read the title of this Topic..........it's what we keep banging on about all the time. I still maintain that you don't always need to go the whole 'hog' so to speak. Many on here have proved that.......low AND reduced carbers. Then again there are those who seem to think that because some of us eat a few carbs we are high carbers........nothing could be further from the truth. Ken [/QUOTE]
