I looked into a low carb diet. I can reduce carbs but I can't virtually eliminate them.
I don't like "substitute" food. I would rather have an enjoyable meal on a rare occassion that eat some cardboard.
People don't realize that you can also eat good vegetables in a low carb diet.
I have not heard why the food pyramid puts MORE carbs ahead of veggies (I suspect the grain lobby).
If I eat an unsatisfying meal, I will still be unfufilled (hungry?) but if I hold out for the rare real deal I can be happy at the end.
