low carb diets do seem to be associated with less hunger
There's never enough anecdotes and always far too much science, so...
I started a bastardised version of the Dukan Diet back at the end of May. The end result is that I have lost over 20 pounds, and I'm still losing weight despite the fact that I no longer recognise that I'm on the diet. The major factor has been very much reduced hunger. In fact, I'm starting to get a little concerned as I am now approaching 160 pounds and still going down
And this is despite eating out regularly, with no restrictions whatsoever. It's just for normal meals, I have cut out most of the carbs.
