It’s carbs that make you fat, not meat.

I actually lost a fair bit of weight eating nothing BUT meat, with a few vegetables thrown in.

One could be a “vegetarian,” and eat chips, bread, sweets, etc. and still be a whale.

AMEN. Carbs turn to sugar, sugar turns to sugar, every thing on the shelf has sugar, every drink but water has sugar, we are bombarded with sugar. Ever tried to find sugar free or minimal sugered items? High fructose corn syrup is the main ingrediant for every item at the grocery store, slight exaggeration, but not far from reality.

+1000, for a lot of us. Maybe there are some out there who can load up on carbs but that’s not me or my family.

The only way I can keep the weight off is low-carb. Plus we have a strong family history of diabetes and reactive hypoglycemia, which excess carbs makes a lot worse.
