I've lived very healthy my whole life, eating vegetables, lean foods and such. Working out quite alot. But since I started working an office job I've gained 15kg in 4 years or so and i'd like to go back to my previous weight.
I've tried counting calories before with a ready made program. It was miserable, the food was plain as it can, I was constantly hungry and waiting for it to end. I lasted for like 1 month with it and lost some fat but did not lose any weight. Was not worth it. I've tried to eat less without calorie counting, but it did'nt really work and I was not sure if I was doing things right. I've tried intermittent fasting, but it made me binge eat and eat too much since I was not counting calories.
Last week I decided to try being a loser again. I've heard that meny have succeeded with low carb diets since it lowers their hunger, so I diceded to try it too. First I tried out low carb foods without counting calories just to ease myself into the habit. Now I'm also counting calories and I've hit my goal of 1600kcal per day for almost a week now and it has not been that bad really. Yes, I am a bit hungry almost all the time, but not in the same way I was in the last diet where I ate carbs too. That was awful hunger. I've lost 700g already (mostly water probably since lack of carbs, but still proud) and feeling quite positive about this.
Low carb foods are actually very tasty. I'm able to eat cheese, fatty meats, bacon and other tasty things. Replacing carbs with vegetables makes foods actually more delicious. Pasta and rice don't really taste like much, so I do not miss them.
I think I might do it this time. For the first time I'm hopeful about being able to lose weight.
I am 75kg / 165 lb, 165cm / 5"4 female and trying to lose around 10kg / 22 lb.
