I urge you to use caution with this diet. If you work in the heat or do strenuous work, it is very easy to get dehydrated but you can lose weight very quickly. Eat 30 net carbs or less a day and you will lose weight FAST! At 5'4" I weighed 185. My goal weight was 155. I started increasing carbs at 160. I ended up losing 20 more pounds to get down to a frail 140 this happened in 4 months. In just 17 weeks I lost 45 pounds. That is the other caution! Slow down at least 10 pounds before your goal weight. One other very important detail is to drink plenty of water and eat everything as salty as you can stand it. The salt will help you retain water that the carbs used to help you retain. Often carb diets cause people to get sick to their stomach or they get headaches. This is because of the dehydration. Simply up water and salt intake and you should be fine.
