I can stop the carbs and still have trouble losing it but it’s probably because I also need to cut back on the protein and fat a little, total calories matters. I tend not to pay attention to calories, just carbs.
Pretty much the only carbs I get now is beer and the occasional snack when I go off the reservation. No bread, pasta, etc. Haven't had a sandwich in over 2 1/2 years. I struggle to get enough protein, so I eat a lot of egg whites and drink a protein supplement. It helps living alone as I don't keep anything "bad" in the house. My ex-wife used to demand we keep certain things here. Fuck that.
Actually, I am very comfortable at my current height/weight of 6', 150 lbs., and my doctor thinks it's ok also.
