Dr Stuart Trager...cited one study which found controlling carboydrate intake improved the mood of 51% of those who took part.

And 49% noticed that their mood was not improved? Allowing for a margin of error, that's statistically even. Meaningless.

When will people realize that the secret to weight control is quantity control. In other words, eat anything you like, but don't stuff yourself. If I could name one type of food which is most likely to make you fat, it would be fluffy foods like bread, pasta, any sweet beverages, cakes, cookies, crackers, chips, or anything else that takes up space in your stomach.

Dense foods such as cheese, peanut butter, small amounts of meat, candy, chile con queso, and fish are best, in small quantities. Even salads can be fattening if you eat too much. Never fill up. Stop while you're still hungry.

"Stop while you're still hungry.

Yes,.....but, that seems so weird .....but I know you are correct. As a child who fought the "CLEAN YOUR PLATE" orders from my mother (who dished the plate)....I have been conditioned to think I have to eat more than I need. Slowly I'm changing that.
