Guest guest Posted July 28, 2003 Report Share Posted July 28, 2003 My partner has also been low carb for 3 years, eating no grains.

It is the only way that I've been able to get my weight to come off (low carb and high calories does not work for weight loss for me but it has made me feel good enough to up my excercise...and excercise alone does not work for weight loss for me either) I have to cut calories:( I've been using a plan similar to what is in the new book Curves. Lower the calories for short periods ( 72 hours - 1 week) then up it to avoid a metabolism problems. I also have tyroid problems and it's worth checking that out also. You can get an idea if it's a problem doing a morning temp test. Here's one link to it: http://www.alternate-health.com/thyroid.html It might be worth a trip to the library or bookstore to look at the parts on metabolism and calories.

That's an interesting idea - not heard of that one. Sounds more realistic than cutting calories to starvation mode. I also have tyroid problems and it's > worth checking that out also.

The doesn't have low body temp, lethargy, fatigue, constipation, diarrhea, anything. He is the picture of health except for being obese! Ok, except maybe over production of adrenalin which I've been reading about in Schwarzbein Principle 2. That could be the issue behind his lack of weight loss. but the schwarzbein principle is such a faff to stick to plan! Jo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
