Low-carb diets are ok for the short term, but your body needs carbs for energy. After low-carb dieting, you will gain weight when you eat carbs. A balanced diet is best, and you can consult the USDA's food pyramid for that. Good luck.

Niecy, when going on a low-carb diet keep in mind that your brain operates on 100% carbohydrate-derived glucose. What this means, in plain English, is that if you don't have enough carbs in your diet, your brain won't work properly.
I suggest that you get a book called 'Sugar Busters!' It's available online as well as at any major bookstore. It'll help you tremendously because it'll show you the types of carbs you need and the type that can inhibit weight loss.
If you have any questions, feel free to email me and ask.

It matters more the kind of carb than the amount. Carbs from fruit help you lose weight and is very different than junk food carbs. It is mostly NOT your fault, if you need to lose weight. The way you have been taught to eat is responsible for making obesity the number one health problem in the world (according to Atlantic Monthly magazine) replacing hunger and infectious disease. So you are a victim of this pandemic (epidemic). You need to re-learn how to eat so you can become thin.

Low carb diets work until your body learns to compensate compensates. A balanced diet and exercise is the only thing that works.

What I have heard is that you start to crave those foods after you lose some weight and gain weight back and even more.
