[QUOTE="TorqPenderloin, post: 1060232, member: 211504"] Steve seems to have had some great results, and I'm not discounting them in any way. However, if your goal is to avoid carbohydrates, just about everything he mentioned is best to avoid. Us men are very lucky in that our daily calorie requirements are much higher than women. Consequently, it's much easier for us to lose weight. Many people (men and women) have a lot of success on low-carb diets because it doesn't necessarily require you to reduce your total calorie intake. You may find that you can eat 1500 calories/day on a low-carb diet, but you'd need to eat 1000 on a balanced low-calorie diet to achieve the same fat loss results. Exercise is also incredibly important and I'd argue even more important for women. Cardio like walking and jogging is good because it burns calories while you're doing them. Heavy weight lifting is even better (in my opinion) because it burns calories while you're doing it and long after you stop. Either way, you can't outrun a bad diet and your diet is 90% of the weight loss equation. [/QUOTE]
