    I love them too but they make me retain water and bloat out. I need to figure out which ones are doing this to me (think it's wheat).

    Still the only macronutrient that is optional...bolt.gif

    You can drive a car using just your feet if you really wanted to.

    Doesn't make it a good idea though...

    Do they really taste good? Or is the stuff you put on them. Really you eat pasta or bread with absolutely nothing on it? Nope, likely not. But man I can sure grab a hunk of bacon and chow down.

    Carbs in veggies and fruits are great and needed. Crap carbs in grains, sugars, etc. are certainly not needed nor or the healthy for the growing majority with insulin issues.

    Without carbs, my pizza would be just a slimy, sloppy mess of cheese and pepperoni and tomato sauce. And really hard to eat without utensils.

    But there's carbs in the sauce, too, so it would be just cheese and pepperoni. Which are just wonderful as a snack, but not a meal.

    I'm gonna deviate from the funny for a second and clarify that for diabetics the insulin thing is obviously very important- for non diabetics, well...not having diabetes (or other metabolic disorder) means by definition that you don't have a problem with insulin.

    Eat all the fruit you want, eat whole grains sometimes, and refined carbs like flour/sugar very sparingly.

    I love my carby doughnut but it's also filled with a ridiculous amount of fat. This must not be forgotten.

    But then again I do eat ridiculous amounts of plain white rice...

    Maybe it's all about balance?

    Does it matter? Does butter taste good by itself? Does chocolate (as in, baking cocoa) taste good by itself?

    Yes I do eat bread with nothing on it and it's delicious.

    Many people who have looked at my food diary have asked me if I eat straight butter. And my current chocolate of choice is now 85%, so I'm getting closer to straight chocolate.
