[QUOTE="LittleGreyCat, post: 152430, member: 6467"] Yes, I think it would be very hard (and not particularly good for you) to try and cut out all carbs. I have no doubt that if I practiced strict carb counting my diet could be different but find it much easier to cut out some things completely so they are not in the house. I personally would find it very hard to decide 'two potatoes but not three' or 'just one spoonful of rice'. The "well just one more won't make much difference" is a constant temptation. A bit like an alchoholic having alchohol in the house and the constant temptation to have 'just one drink - I can handle it'. So I just cut out some obvious carbs and hope that the rest are sufficiently low GI. Even with low GI we are all well aware that people react differently. I can't manage porridge - it doesn't fill me for more than about an hour and then just makes me very hungry. You can't manage baked beans but they work well at stopping me being hungry (along with all the other stuff). The main proof for me is that I have lost weight without feeling hungry. The other major benefit is that I don't feel that I am on a diet and I am comfortable with eating this way for the forseeable future. It probably helps that I am on statins as my current diet may not be regarded as the best for cholseterol control, although even there carbohydrates are now being pointed up as generating cholesterol and cholesterol containing foods such as eggs are not regarded as dangerous at the moment. What did you have for breakfast? Fillet steak, mushrooms, tomatoes, eggs...... ****; I wish my doctor would put me on that diet :-) Cheers LGC [/QUOTE]
