Hi Lisa,
I've never had a doctor specifically say: "eat only so-and-so carbs" per day, so I've never been low-carb. And since I'm a carb-addict that would be very difficult for me, so I've never followed it.
HOWEVER since I am having problems with food cravings and weight gain I think that following low-carb would be a really good idea for me, and think that there are many on this board that could offer good suggestions. I'm loosely following the recs from NROLFW and am even having a hard time being as low carb as Cassandra recommends--my daily carb levels are anywhere from 160 to 198..... ooooh even typing that out it is becoming so obvious to me that I really have to limit those carbs.
But I'm not sure where to start--meaning, what is a good starting target to go with. After too many years on weightwatchers I'm leery of joining a formal diet program like South Beach or TNT because right now I like the freedom just counting calories. I was thinking, however, of picking up PBD and giving that a shot and perhaps following the carb-sensitive diet recs in there.
