cutting down on carbs

Mr-White · 18 Jul 2008 at 16:54

i stopped eating bread, pasta, rice, cereal, potatoes etc on tuesday night to try and get rid of this last bit of annoying fat around my stomach. its only been what 3 days eating things like fruit, veg and fresh meats and i feel healthier already and dont feel as hungry either. its not what i was expecting :confused:

EDIT: i forgot to mention i usually eats tons of bread and rice

im not going to totally remove carbs but i wanna remove the majority and see how it goes

the problem ive got now is to find good meals to replace all those carbs with

I think if you have a reasonable exercise regime, then its not necessary to drop right down to the Atkins level of 20g of carbs a day, you can still lose weight at say around
50g, which isnt as restrictive as 20g

im not sure the weight of carbs i'm eating now but the only carbs ill be getting is from fruit and veg. my workouts arent that brutal atm as im still trying to get back into it and getting used to the drop in carbs. today i just did some cardio and some light weights
