People always come up with new means to lose weight, get the body they want and it works for some and not for others. So I am not going to intrude. But just make one comment. Baby steps.
Your body always seeks to maintain homoeostasis. Any rapid change will be fought by your body. Your body will freak out and think something is seriously wrong and try to keep as much fat as it can. Personally I like the 5% rule. Ie
Lower calories by 5%. If after a week you lose weight. Keep the calories the same. If you don't lose weight, lower calories by 5%. Repeat until desired weight. This will also help you lose weight while eating as much as possible.
**I am not saying carbs are bad. But scientific evidence supports the theory that women respond better to a mid-high protein, moderate fats and low carb diets.
Personally I find carb cutting unnecessary, and rather control my insulin. When your insulin is raised the hormone that tells your body to burn fat from fat cells is blunted. That and I get headaches on low carbs.
But if it works for you, then do it.
