Cutting out carbs to lose weight

Hi,

I just wondered if anyone else does this and has success?

I normally start in May, but due to the weather being so awful recently, I've still been eating bread, potatoes and rice. I don't each much pasta (rarely).

Thankfully with the weather looking to be on the up! Fingers crossed....I will endeavour to cut out bread, pasta, rice, potatoes completely.

I rarely eat cake, biscuits or chocolate anymore, so hoping to give my body a bit of break over the Summer months.

What else would you cut out?

I try to eat healthy so chicken, fish, salads and veg.
I love Michael Mosley's fast 800 recipes.

Anyone else had success eating this way?

It's a good way of life once you get into it and saves money!

Maybe consider the kind of veg in diet, leafy grown above ground have less carbohydrates, fruit too, apples and pears seem to be lowest.

I did this almost ten years ago when I was diagnosed T2 diabetic. I used the Michael Mosley book and lost 3 stone in 3 months. I still watch my diet very carefully…cake, bread, potatoes, pasta, etc I eat very rarely. You have to watch your fruit too. Bananas are mostly off limits.
But I have kept the weight off ( mostly) and I have not yet had to have any medication for diabetes. It was hard at the beginning, but now just a way of life. Good luck.
