I am very carb sensitive and lost a lot of weight eating <20g carbs, but I also had to carefully monitor calories because I’m a ‘senior’ woman and also hypothyroid. I’ve maintained my loss for 8 years, but
I struggled because any indulgence would cause the scale to go up, and it was harder and harder to lose those 5 extra lbs.
Inspired by Amber O’Hearn, I tried a 30-day experiment of just meat, fish, fats. I became anxious because I found myself craving fats, and I knew I was eating far more in terms of calories than ever! But the scale quickly returned me to my goal weight (down 5 lbs), and I’ve been zero ever since (8 months). For the first time in over a decade, I don’t count calories, I eat to satiety, and effortlessly maintain my ideal weight.
I was eating so few carbs before that this just seems amazing to me. Any idea why this works so very well for me?
