3 months out, 30 pounds down, feeling like a failure
The vets here tout over and over the merits of reducing carbs and I've really taken that to heart. I know that the NUTs are generally not on the same page. I will say though, I eat very low carb and I've not had a week yet without loss and I'm 5 months out. No stalls, nothing.
One of the vets said something to someone else about never being able to have more willpower or be more compliant to the best weight loss plan than those first months and that's stuck with me.

I wouldn't worry too much about healthy carbs as long as it is in moderation and in balance with your protein 40% and fat 25-30%Up to a max of 30-35% carb. I lost my 112lbs that way.
My fiber intake is 35+grams a day so I'm eating pretty high fiber carbs like berries chia seeds and apple. But my protein is always over 100grams...based on the macro percentage above. You are losing fine. No reason to change what is working.
I lost the way I'm maintaining.
