I went on a low carb diet 4 years ago and lost 35 pounds, which turned out to be too much for me., I'm fairly tall and small boned, but muscular. Then I discovered biking and that I needed those carbs. I've gained back a lot of the weight, which I don't particularly regret, except for about 10 pounds. I am a lot more muscular that I was, and can ride a lot farther more comfortably. But, I am committing to losing the 10 again. I'm a 164 now, and I think I could lose the 10 by modifying my diet a little. Less fat and less microbrew. Darn. Stuff's expensive anyway.
