anyone who says "low carb" or "no carb" has fallen victim to the fad diet mentality.
sure, going very low carb no carb at all will yield immediate results, but when you come off that diet, the pounds come right back... and in fact, since when you go low carb, you lose muscle tissue and fat - when you gain it back, you don't gain any muscle back and you gain MORE FAT than you originally had.
so you end up WORSE off than you were before. and you lose muscle tissue when you go low carb because when your body is in need of energy, it'll pull it from the muscles since it's favorite most preferred choice of energy isn't present (CARBS!!!!)
eat at LEAST 5 smaller meals a day (ignoring hunger, which is what you have to do with 2 to 4 meals a day usually, puts your body into a state that makes it store fat a lot easier, in anticipation that it won't be fed again.. this is because our genetic makeup is based on scavengers who ate small frequent meals throughout the day, thousands of years ago).
eat LESS SIMPLE CARBS (usually junkfood) and MORE COMPLEX CARBS (most fruits / veges).
do SOME sort of physically intensive activity 4 to 5 times a week, and be sure to carb high pre-activity. our bodies were meant to be used.
doing those 3 things will help a LOT.
