Quoted message said:Being that I'm still fairly new to lowcarb (I have done it for about 6
or so weeks total) I'm wondering about when you started paying
attention to calories.
I started tracking calories on Fitday about two months after I started
on Atkins. I'd had the usual after-induction plateau, and though I
started losing again after that, I wanted a better feel for what I was
actually eating.
Quoted message said:I have started watching them in the past couple weeks and strive to
keep them below 1500.I keep seeing 'calories will count eventually', I'm just wondering
what people feel is the 'eventually'.
For me, "eventually" came sooner, because I've been eating 1300
calories per day for almost a year, and I think I can keep doing that
more-or-less indefinitely.
That's a switch from most other diets I've been on, where I've mostly
tried to keep to 1000 calories/day or below. You wouldn't think 300
calories could make that much difference, but when it means I can have
some pistachios or fruit with cream or (JC, avert your eyes) a
low-carb ice-cream bar in the evening, it means a lot to me.
