not necessarily following a diet, and still eating the 'good' carbs ?

Sure can! I am doing it for the last 3 weeks. I have lost approximately 8-9lbs...I am not following any of those low carb diets but I stopped eating the unnecessary ones! Also been drinking a lot of water & no more soda! I like the results

what kind of carbs are you allowing yourself to have? I had a bowl of low carb,high fiber cereal w/skim milk for breakfast , is that okay do you think?
What foods are you completely staying away from?

Well I have the same thing in the morning or Rice Krispies...I have been staying away from breads unless absolutely necessary...For Lunch, I have a garden salad with Feta cheese, FF Croutons & chicken with Vinegrette dressing...I try not to eat pretzels, crackers...Lots of fruit...Of course you have to have some carbs though bc otherwise your body goes into shock...Just try to cut to extra stuff out that you really do not need!

kissy27- do you eat a lot of nuts? that seems got be my downfall because they are very satisfying, but i eat too many. and how much fruit do you allow yourself each day?

I don't really eat too much in the way of nuts...They are low in carbs though...It is high fat! Fruit, well I have an apple as a snack in the morning...Then I have about 3 cups with lunch...Then I have another apple or orange around 2ish....

i agree! you don't need a specific low carb diet.
