I've been doing the slow carb diet since the beginning of this year and there are definitely highs and lows. The biggest question of all from this diet is since people are losing massive pounds in a week - AM I? If not, the diet is not working or I'm doing something wrong. However, I'd like to point out the pitfall - comparing yourself to others. That is the number one thing not to do in any area of your life because you're always going to be discouraged and it will ultimately invalidate your progress and ultimately lead you to quit.
For me, weight has been a slight issue, but ultimately the biggest thing is I'd like to look more toned. I didn't do the diet to lose weight, I did it for lifestyle changes. The diet has forced me to plan my food, to cook my food, to eat more vegetables and really to take care of myself. Ultimately with keeping up with the "rules" of the diet and understanding that sugar is bad but I can have it 1 day out of the week - it has worked miracles on my body. I've lost pounds, I've lost inches, and I've lost fat! I can truly say it's best body I've had and I can't wait for the beach! :) Now, it didnt' happen over night, which means my weight, inches and fat aren't coming back over night! Patience was the key in having my success and not being obsessed about the scale was what had me stick to it. Although I weighed myself almost everyday, I measured myself every 2 months. Those are the numbers that prove to me that the diet is working - over time.
So for all those people out there who want a lifestyle change, I highly recommend those two sources above and to be patient with yourself. Your true body image will emerge when you choose to take care of yourself! Happy BIKINI body!
