I've lost 30 lbs. since early January just by avoiding carbs, and now I'm used to not eating starchy or sweet food. My diet is more limited, obviously, but I find I eat a lot less just because I don't have food around that I'm tempted to snack on. I don't have a specific goal either but another 20 lbs. might be about right.
