Ive been no carbing it for a few weeks now and feel great I did have brown rice last weeks 3 times but didnt really need it or miss it so for now Im sticking to no carbs. Thats me everyone has to do what is best for…

Thats why I call it a modified south beach : ) . I have completed over a week with no carbs and have been really good. I am going to go for another two weeks 3 max (1 month) then slowly add brown rice and whole wheat low carb tortillas and bread and fruit back into my diet but this time I will do it the right way. I know I…

Thank you all. I may not have been clear. I am not giving good carbs up for ever just long enough to rejump start the weight loss. The reason for me for doing it a little longer than two weeks is because I know that if I only give it up for two weeks I may crash again. Crash even with the good carbs. So im thinking of…

Welcome to the best website and support group i have ever found. I use food when I am depressed which it sounds like you do.

1 key thing U can do is get the sauce on the side that way you control how much goes on the food. And when its on the side i dip my fork a little in the sauce so i only get a taste of the sauce the key also is not covering the food in sauce. chicken and veggies chicken and broccoli chicken and string beans i agree anything…
