I reduced my carbs by about a half or more, and after about a month the weight started to fall off (even though I wasn't particularly overweight anyway!) What veg do you eat? You need to avoid the starchy stuff - jacket potatos, mashed and boiled "old" potatos are all bad. Boiled new potatos (a few!) are not so bad. White rice, pasta etc all not so good. I have a bit of them once a week. Watch things like "Nimble" and weight watchers stuff - all low in fat, but not in carbs. Don't help your sugars therefore, and lots of us believe carbs are more responsible for weight than fats (in limited quantities) anyway. Lots of us eat Burgen soya and linseed bread - low GI and lower in carbs. Quite nice too!Jaffa cakes really not good - although we all need a treat now and again. Could you stick to a few squares of dark choccy now and again? The TUC biscuits before dinner not great either. Could you wait till dinner?Good luck!</blockquote>
