I watched a rotund woman eat at a baseball game over the weekend. It was nachos in fake cheese sauce, ice cream, a hot dog, a grilled soft pretzel and a bigass Coke. And she'll probably say "I really don't eat that much".
What do sumo wrestlers eat? Lots of noodles. What do fat rednecks around here eat? Lots of beer, bread and potatoes. What do fat Italians eat? Lots of pasta.
My doctor convinced me that starches are the problem. He said he'd rather see someone eating a big steak than a pasta meal. He said to cut way back on 4 things, pasta, bread, potatoes, and rice, all the white foods. In addition, I cut out all the cheese I used to eat, and all the cream in my coffee. I lost 15 pounds slowly, and have kept most of it off.
