[quote=Anonymous]Cut your carbs. At least to 100g, if you can go under 50-60g there are benefits. The first few days will massively suck, and then it will get easier. Count carbs and calories using MyFitness Pal or something similar. Track before you eat. Weigh/measure foods for a few weeks until you can accurately eyeball, and even after that spot check several times a month to make sure portion sizes aren't increasing. I have more to lose but have lost 50 lbs in the last 3 months (not a typo) this way. My doc is thrilled. I think at a lower weight you may lose slower, but aiming for 1-1.5% of your body weight a week is doable. There is evidence (studies) that the common wisdom of 1-2 lbs per week isn't right and people who lose fast are more likely to get closer to their final goal weight and no more likely to gain it back (BTW - EVERYONE is likely to gain it back no matter how fast or slow you lose, so you have to be vigilant long term).[/quote]
