Meet Doug.

I started on a low-carb transition after Christmas of 2010. I was 255 lbs. I ate and drank (alcohol...I always drank diet sodas) whatever I wanted but during the work week I would actually eat very little. My breakfast many days would consist of a "Fiber One" bar and my lunch would be a "Cup o noodles". I am a soccer player thus I ran quite a bit and due to what I assume was gout my feet hurt all the time. 

I requested the book "The 4-hour body" as a Christmas gift and read most of it within 2 days. It gives many low carb diet recommendations but includes a lot of beans. I followed this diet for about a month and didn't really start losing weight until I removed the beans I was eating at every meal. I stumbled across Gary Taubes's article from the New York Times magazine and then onto the Paleo diet websites where I read and read and read. I couldn't get enough. 

I added more fat to my diet and completely removed any source of carbs that wasn't a green vegetable. I started losing weight immediately and it kept coming off. With almost no effort. I was blown away. I reached 193 lbs sometime in late September 2011 and maintained 195-200 lbs through Christmas and now have resumed losing weight and hope to be down to 185 or so by spring break.
