I have dropped 40lbs over a longer period of time (about 2.5-3lbs a week) and have never gone to bed hungry or felt tired from lack or calories. Yes, 2000 calories can go quick, but it can also go a long way if you are smart. I have also had the benefit of being extremely fit for most of my life- until about 4 years a go when a medical condition combined with marraige caused me to put on 40. The muscle memory and "know how" has made it pretty easy for me to get back to decent shape- which includes the gym 4 days a week.
Anyways, not criticizing, just curious what its like to be on the low low calorie/carb diets. There is a danger of ketosis with those.

Slow Carb diet is not a calorie counting diet . That's the other reason why I like it. No need to count calories. If you are hungry then eat the approved protiens veggies or legumes in whatever quantity.
