Giving up Carbs for Lent

I'm a carnivore. But I still eat some grass to clear the fur balls.

good luck with that OP …

I am Italian and I am never giving up carbs…I heard they revoke your Italian card for stuff like this…

is there a specific reason, besides lent, that you are doing this? Just curious..

I will still continue to eat the "good carbs" that are in most fruits and veggies! So I guess there will still be a little carb intake.

LOL at "good carbs"….

sigh, MFP threads..where every food has to be "bad" or "good" ….

I am doing, "No to all sugar products." for the next 40 days to see if I can make it a HABIT.

There has got to be a way to say no to those products and live with fresh fruits as desserts or between meal snacks.

:bigsmile:

You do know there is sugar in that fruit, right?

I was thinking the same thing...

Wait, so you're giving up carbs for Lent... but you're not supposed to eat meat on Fridays...

Damn girl, are you doing it Jesus in the desert style?

But didn't Jesus eat bread and drink wine. Aren't those carbs?

He didn't eat bread and drink wine during the 40 days in the desert.

As a pastafarian I doubt I could give up carbs.

I though he manufactured them as opposed to eating and drinking them?
