Women and men cheat differently low carbohydrate diets. Women cheat on sweets and starches, just enough to
completely stop weight loss. If you are a woman and your carbohydrate intake is much over 20 grams of
carbohydrate per day, you are probably not going to lose weight. 20 grams of carbohydrate is a slice a bread,
an apple or a candy bar. The average serving of carbohydrate is 20 grams. Men get in trouble on low
carbohydrate diets, by taking the calories to stupid. You cannot eat 3000 calories a day and expect to lose
weight. Lots of male patients eat 3000-5000 calories of protein and fat a day, without any cheating, and lose no
weight. If your calorie intake is much over 1500 calories a day, you are not going to lose weight. The trick that
can help stop cheating on sweets and starches, it to increase fat and salt intake. Put a little salted butter on
everything you eat, and see if your carbohydrate cheating stops. The trick that can help stop cheating on
calories is regimented portion control. A fast food hamburger or a grilled chicken breast without the bun is 200
calories.
