I remember that pyramid. My mom packed me a wonder bread sandwich, spaghetti os And a baggie of Froot Loops (she thought it was made with real fruit) everyday for lunch. Mustve gained 20lbs. Then football season started and I discovered Atkins in my 20s. Lost 24 lbs in 2 months.
I need to go on Atkins. I’ve tried it before but found it a boring diet. I can go without pasta but craved breads. Sadly one Guinness sets one back 10.6 carbs.
