Wayne, Wayne, Wayne...I eat Low carb...I hover under 30 carbs a day. What you believe about it being unappetizing is hogwash. With a little imagination the meals can be quite satisfying... A sample meal:
A rotissiered chicken with Side veggies of grilled zucchinni, bell pepper strips and button mushrooms.
Or Salmon with brocolli or a pork cabbage cbutterole or a 4 egg cheese omlette or Roast beef with green beans.
You can eat as much of the chicken or any meat as you want. You can eat your fats, oil, butter etc. So marinades can supply extra flavour. There is no going hungry between meals.
The bad part is no pasta, bread, potatoes etc. But you soon get used to it. Average weight lose it about 1 pound a week or 5 pounds a month.
Mostly you avoid all forms of: sugar, flour, corn, rice, carrots and peas. And use sparingly onions, tomatoes and soft cheeses. That just about covers it.
I've lost 65 pounds in just under a year and I'll admit I cheat once or twice a month. Usually on big things like eating a whole pizza or a large pasta meal. I don't consider the eating of low carbs a diet...more of a lifestyle change. It's my type2 Diabetes that make me eat this way. Low carb eating keeps my BG down and has sugnifintly lowered my HDL & LDLs.
