I've only just spotted this thread so forgive me if this has been discussed.
Guys at work were all on a low carb high fat diet and all raved about it, I thought it was a crock. Anyway, I come back from leave after Xmas and a guy I work with had lost 10kgs on this same ridiculous diet. He was like me, tried every diet under the sun, loads of excersise etc and just yoyo'd.
So I thought I'd give it a go.....I've lost 14kg, interestingly from my arms, legs and neck first which had never happened before. My Kelvlar bike pants look like baggy
op-shop pants and my belt needs 8 inches cut off it.
I cut out all sugar, bread, pasta rice etc. I eat fried mushrooms, bacon and eggs for breakfast, I eat half a chicken or a kebab without the bread or similar for lunch, dinner is steak and vegies etc.
I call it the anti diet as it goes against everything I have ever thought was a perfect diet. Apparently it doesn't work for everyone but it has sure worked for me.
NB. I'm a short and stocky type, I have done a lot of weights etc over the years so have always been heavy. I have been under 100kgs once since I was 16.
