I have been eating low carb (and high good saturated fat) for about a year now and will continue to do so. I have certainly lost some excess weight by doing so. I also eat no processed food and no added salt/sodium at all. I have been doing this for over ten years. This has been the main way that I have lost weight, and that is because I have steroid-induced obesity from taking inappropriately-prescribed and poorly-monitored steroids. Excess weight gained in this way is largely fluid retention, and is easily and rapidly reduced once you know that it is nothing to do with calories, and instead is to do with drug-induced sensitivity to salt, and the main course of action needed is as far as possible to avoid salt and salty food.
