My sisters first husband used to be extremely overweight, him and his mother. They both lost a tremendous amount of weight, but not so much by cutting carbs or anything else. Their number 1 rule they followed was that if they ate protein, they didn't eat carbs. If they ate carbs, they didn't eat protein. You had to have like a 2 hour wait between protein and carbs. This is all I was told that they did. Maybe there was something else I wasn't told, but from my best memory, that was it. I have never tried, I have never been bothered much about my weight though I could afford to lose 50 or 60 pounds. Something about the protein helps convert the carbs to fat quicker or something like that. Without the 2 together, your body uses them all as you eat instead of storing some for later.

Just a thought. Don't know how correct the science is, but hey, for people who are struggling to lose weight, it could be one more thing to give a shot. I know that I would have a hard time. If I eat a burger, I want it on a bun. If I eat eggs, I want toast. Anyways, I wish you luck on whatever route you take.
