Cutting out all carbs can be difficult and doesn't suit everyone. If you are going to make a big change in what you eat it might be a good idea to do it gradually. You could try cutting out the 'white' carbs and sugar and see if that makes any difference. Perhaps keep some of the healthier brown or high fibre carbs in your diet, but just don't have too much.

Hi. I cut out the white stuff, bread , potatoes, rice and pasta. It does work. Substituted spiralised corgette for pasta and cauliflower rice instead of white rice. Another guide line I followed was that all veg are ok but those that grow above ground are great. All good fortune. You can do it!

[Tuliprose in reply to RobertR65]

Hi Pauline

I,m Vallen I am recoverying from foot surgery. At first I loss weight as I couldn't walk in to the kicken my husband cooked all my meals which was low in fat and lots of fruit and veg, plus salads weighed carbs. Now that I am able to get into the kitcken I started to have to odd biscuit or extra helping of ice-cream. Guess what I gained all the weight back that I had lost. Now i am doing the ,One You healthy meals and the weight is coming off . I would not cut out carbs but look at portions of what you need each day and weigh everything you eat. Good luck !
