yeah. I was low carb for 18 months. I got down to 220 and felt really good except... I really wanted carbohydrates a lot. Even though I wasn't hungry.
The first week or so was really hard. Close to no carbohydrates and all I could think about was sweet things. Even after I reintroduced healthier sweet foods like fruit, it just didn't hit the same spots as a good sandwich or a bowl of pasta.
After I went back to regular food, I'd periodically do a month or so of paleo to try and the weight gain under control, but I got back up to 280. Currently I'm a couple of weeks into slimfast. I'm not hungry. I don't feel bad if grab a small piece of chocolate. Occasionally my evening meal is a small bowl of pasta, or a sandwich and I'm loosing a consistent amount of weight... for now.
