Yep. Cut out anything with wheat in it and go verrrrrrry easy on the sugar. Eat all the meat, dairy, fruits, and vegetable you can stuff down your throat. You can't help but lose weight unless you have a thyroid problem. Now, that said, I don't want the government cracking down on these foods, but it's been my experience that skipping them keeps you very skinny without hunger pangs every few hours. Modern wheat processing and the overwhelming amount of sugars (in all forms: dextrose, sucrose, fructose, etc) and salts being utilized are creating a society of gluttons that can't help but eat ourselves to death.

I agree, I don't think I want the government cracking down on these foods - we all need to be able to make informed decisions for ourselves. Yet, with O'care, we will all be paying the overwhelming cost of obesity in this nation. They are talking about doubling rates for smokers, well, what about people who can't help but stuff thousands of calories down their throats on a daily basis? Insulin resistance, obesity, and the cancers that consume sugars are the greatest health threat to society, yet few people dare talk about it in blunt terms.

I quit consuming carbs, in any appreciable amount, years ago. My weight began to regulate properly, my high blood pressure, high cholesterol, neuropathy, restless legs, and elevated glucose levels all went away in short order. I feel better than I did 30 years ago! I find it easier to be satiated by a tablespoon or two of coconut oil than I used to be by a McDonalds Big Mac meal, plus I don't get the insulin response.
