Never thought this was my problem. Thank you LoseIt!

Last week, I weighed 290lbs. I'm 25 years old. My wife has been cutting out carbs in her diet for a while now and I "tried" doing it once, but wasn't serious and failed after a few days.

After coming to this sub for a while now, I've seen posts of people doing the keto diet. I researched it a little and decided to give it a shot.

It's only been a little over a week of cutting out most carbs in my diet, and I can tell you that it's so much easier than anything I've tried in the past. I'm not super anal when it comes to counting carbs but I know what I'm doing works because I'm down 8lbs in a week!

The weightloss is amazing but what shocks me the most is that my cravings are about 90% gone for carbs. Which means I don't have the urge to eat carb-filled foods as I have had in the past when carbs were in my diet.

Basically, i feel like carbs are addicting, even if it is wheat bread or something. So my advice to those like me, try cutting out carbs and see what it does.

Edit: I used to eat fiber bars daily for helping me have a bowel movement. Eating fats and proteins scared me because I thought it might have been difficult for me to pass a bowel movement. I've been eating salads 1-2x a day with my fat/protein filled meat/nut/dairy/dressing source, and I've been having such better bowel movements than when I ate carbs and had fiber bars filled with sugar.

Thanks for reading. I hope this helps others struggling like I was. I know it has only been a week but I'm pretty confident this was my issue
