How long before we give up and restrict carbs again?//Just started changing my diet this week..and it feels like I'm gaining. It's really discouraging. :( Anyone feel this way? I've also been the type to have no carbs..now what I'm trying to do is stay away from the sweets and add the good carbs (oatmeal, sweet potato). I'm getting so sad thinking I should stop before I really do gain a lot? 

Honestly, our body needs carbs but no more than 5-6 grams a day. If we stop eating carbs and then start again, we gain it all back. Also, make sure you don't do protein and sugar. Such as peanut butter and jelly. WHO KNEW? We grew up on that! Apparently mixing the two makes fat!! We don't like FAT!! 2 hrs between protein and fruit/sugar is a good gauge! Don't be sad!! You are doing it!! We are doing it!!
