One of the reasons that low carb dieting has worked for me is that i can eat plenty.There is no way that i could have lost so much weight in such a short period of time at 100k calories per day.That's about 1 lb in 36 days.Give me a break.I probably average 2,500 - 4,000 low

But don't go below 200
