Message: <blockquote data-quote="Melgar" data-source="post: 2762649" data-attributes="member: 520626">I will say I did the very low carb diet for 9 months, a couple of years ago now. The weight did drop off me, way too much in fact. The flip side though is it did nothing for my blood sugars. They remained the same as before. I found the diet unpleasant, as I'm not a big meat eater and I have a fat intolerance. I would have struggled to maintain that kind of diet. What I will say about exercise, which I failed to mention,  is it gets you out meeting people. For me being in a running club was great, I met lots of like minded people who were invested in the sport and in eating healthy, some didn't but most did. I think loneliness and boredom plays a role in overeating or eating unhealthy diets. A generalization I know, but I think it plays a part.</blockquote>
