VSG to DS: YOU MUST EAT LOW CARB

[Stefanie S.]

So I had a super hard time getting carbs out of my diet. I lost 50 pounds without really needing to. But then weight loss stopped for several months. I thought maybe that was it. But for the last week, I've eaten low carb, high protein, high fat. And I'm eating a lot! Keeping carbs around 50 per day and I just dropped 8 more pounds after several months of a stall. So I wanted to pass this advice along - if you're in a stall - maybe look at your carb intake? Best wishes!

Also... I just realized that it took me 3.5 years and 2 surgeries, but I'm finally 100 pounds down from my highest weight!! I guess persistence will eventually pay off

Good for you. It may change further out. And there are enough of us who couldn't go so low carb and still lost our weight. I'm one of the. I kept mine between 70-120 during weight loss. It's WHICH carbs you ingest as well. I can easily get 30 grams of dairy carbs in the morning.

You are right. 90% of the time, carbs are the issue!
