What sort of regime do people expect to follow at the end of the 8 weeks? When I lowered my carbs to less than 100 gms a day, my calories also dropped (obviously) to less than 900 (LC NOT LCHF). I successfully lost over 4 stone but have been on an even keel for some time. Dieters call it a plateau which sort of suggests that further weight loss will resume later and certainly with a lot of dieters I have known (ex member of Tesco Diets online community) it lasts between 6 and 8 weeks.In my case that isn't so and if I were to use the Harris Benedict formula to calculate how many calories to consume (still low carb) I would gain weight.One of the many TV programs that went into weight loss (not to be confused with controlling BG) showed that eating more of your calories in the morning and therefore less in the evening, had an effect on weight loss. I only have some anecdotal stories which agrees with that. When my mum went into her care home, t e weight dropped off her and we were worried that she wasn't eating. We couldn't have been further from the truth, her care home was very thorough and everything she ate and drank was carefully noted and I was there on several occasions at meal times. She would have cereal AND a full english for breakfast and a meat and 2 veg plus pudding for lunch tea was a salad or eggs on toast of a sandwich, so eating better than any time in her life really. Most of the calories in the morning and lunch, just a snack for tea.Ive tried it and it's not easy when one's partner has to follow a more conventional routine imposed by having to work for a living.</blockquote>
