this was a light bulb moment for me. A dietician told me to eat my protein first, then eat veggies so by the time I got to carbs I would likely be full & to stop when 80% full.

    Really no reason to avoid carbs unless you have a medical condition that requires you to.

    LisaLydens - of course veggies are good carbs...low carb foods, good carbs. So I'm sure what you meant were the sweet carbs, the simple ones that are not good for us. Thank you for sharing.

    Awesome advice OP, thanks for sharing.

    On the basis you dont want to eat carbs, then why bother? Just fill up on protein, then you really will be too full to want to eat anything else.

    Carbs cause insulin levels to rise in your body, which in return make you eat more and gain weight. Carbs are horrible! You wanna see some fast weightloss? Just setyour carbs to 20% :D and you will be blown away :)

    Welcome Lisa :)
    I love those light bulb moments in life!

    Sometimes the forums are an interesting mix of comments, just take what you can use and leave the rest. ;)

    There is no such thing as a food that makes you eat more. You either eat or you don't.

    If bad carbs go to confession, can they be forgiven and become good carbs?

    Only if they perform an act of contrition.

    And you will gain it all right back the second you eat carbs. Sounds like a horrible long term plan for me. Good luck though. Everyone has their own way

    I beg to differ. Cutting grain-based carbs is what makes a difference for me. I don't completely eliminate them, but I have as few as possible, getting my carbs almost exclusively from fruits and vegetables. I do the same as LisaLydens, except I usually eat my salad first, then my proteins.

    Considering all fruits, all vegetables, all dairy, and all grains have carbs to think you are eliminating them completely is a pipe dream!

    Could they be granted indulgences?

    That's a good idea, Lisa. And I know you meant those heavy carbs like bread or rice, not veggies. :)
