Doing the same for 2.5 months. I don't have scales, but I lost some weight - I just see it; without starving.

I stopped eating white bread, white rice, potatoes, sugar and all stuff with high or medium glycemic load (bananas, honey, dates, etc).

Here in Nepal not so many food choices, but I cook polenta with wheat groats (whole grain) - my only source of pure (long-lasting) carbs. And: eggs, cheese, chicken, yogurt, sunflower oil, veggies, lentils, and fruits (only ones with low glycemic load).
