Default Re: for a smaller set person, help please ~!

I view this as more of a numbers game.

With 15lbs to lose, in a clean induction you could reasonably expect to lose .75 to 1.5lbs. Doesn't sound great, does it?

With 150lbs to lose, in a clean induction a reasonable expectation of loss would be 7.5lbs to 15lbs. Sounds a lot better doesn't it?

But BOTH people lost the weight at the same rate.

Bottom line, most everyone benefits with a controlled carbohydrate approach - even those of us with not much to lose.
