I limit my carbs to 40g per day. I went from 350 pounds and pre-diabetic to 210 pounds and taking NO pills for anything. I EAT GOOD!!!

A person can easily live on low carb for years. Much better than most people live on modern diets. The interesting part for me was that the weight loss was great. Again, I eat GOOD FOOD. The hard part was the mental adjustments to losing so much weight.

All said, though, 20 years later, and I am in much better health eating my low-carb Mediterranean diet than when I ate regular foods.
