Low carb dieting is the only way I've ever been able to lose any weight either. I want to slowly go back to it, but it's hard in a multi-person household. Still, I can be perfectly happy with eating eggs and vegetables, with a few splurges. Your success inspires me.
I've been swimming nearly everyday this summer, for 30 minutes or so. And by "swimming", I mean "flailing around in the water". Well, in truth, I'm finally able to swim again after years of not doing it and terrible muscle tone. But regardless, it's consistent low impact that makes a difference to me and doesn't spike my appetite. Back when I was doing aikido, I put on quite a bit of weight because I was always furiously hungry after practice.
It seems very easy to eat poorly in Japan. When I have visited, because I can't eat wheat, I was always careful about what I ate, and had to rely on onigiri on the go because so much prepared food was breaded. For a person who doesn't feel like cooking, for whatever reason, breaded and fried foods are a terrible temptation.
