I seriously thought we were offa' carbs America!!!!!

I thought we had a meat and side of veggie for dinner. No potatoes / no pasta...

Huh?????

God, I have to go clean my bathrooms.

Yes, of course.

South Beach/ Low Carb diets require me to eat all manner of things that grosses me out.

What exactly IS the south beach diet. I was never on that one.

TotalANXiousNESS said:

Similar to the Atkins diet.


All of them work. Actually, all diets work if you stick to them. It's a matter of taste for me. I hate high protein diets. I'm not a big meat eater.

some people just wouldn't maintain thier full figuredness that they so love if they didnt eat carbs.

BITCH, Stop eating!

You just DETERMINED to destroy all my threads!

At the start of the year, I cut down my carbohydrate intake to something like the equivalent of one slice of bread a day.

I had a bit of a nervous breakdown a month ago and it was suggested to me that I start eating more carbs (and fats) again as my diet could be affecting my mood.

I've put on so much weight in just a month. It's shocking.

I don't want to live in a world without carbs.

of course they do...whole grains are better for you as they act a insulin helpers and help your metabolism speed up and keep ya cute. i live in central europe and basically eat a mediterranean based diet (very similar to how usa west coasters eat in wine country). and i essentially just used whole grained pastas, rices and flours in place of the white ones that pushed me inches closer to being a type 2 diabetic and did NO favors for me trying to look cute in jeans

the interesting thing i noticed when i was in the u.s. a few months ago is that they even have waaaaay more variety of whole grin food products than they do here---now if only they could stop putting white sugar and corn syrup as the second ingredient in all of them

Oh I know!

I was never into meat, myself. Like when I was younger....I ate ALL carbs. And I used to just go by the fat content. Well bread, pasta, rice...it has like 1 gram of fat...so I thought I was in the clear. Ugh. I was a lot chubbier then. I still love carbs, but I'm way more aware of just how much of them I eat these days.

I did the low carb diet for 2 yrs and lost 85lbs...so it can work...but I missed my pasta...LOL! Now I just work out daily...I am still a woman with curves..but that's okay...at least I lost what I did..and I feel better for it.

I'm a carboholic, or so I feel at times. Try to reduce but sometimes the urge for crackers, cookies, and bread take over. Overall I try to balance the meals with veggies, meat, and fruit so it's entirely all carbs.

You're insane.

Yeah. But I'm skinny too!

I still eat them, just not as much as I used to.

MoniGram said:

Congrats on the weight loss!

yup! sourdough toast is one of the only things i really like to eat these days.

I love carbs.

So

fuck you.

JustErin said:

That is ridiculous! I live off of carbs. If I didn't eat carbs, I would blow away with the breeze



Smooches;)

TotalANXiousNESS said:

You and Nicole Ritchie!

live4lust said:

Do you think you're skinny because you don't eat carbs?



I'm skinny and I love me some french fries and pasta! That has nothing to do with it




Smooches;)

OMG PLEASE!

I have a good 50 lbs on that girl.

TotalANXiousNESS said:

Keep working on it.

TotalANXiousNESS said:

Oh Girl, pleeze.

Id rather be happy and healthy than be skinny. But oddly learning how to incoporate whole wheats and grains into my eating has kept me slim. Not skinny, but slim. Size 3 right here, without working out

..and so much more variety in my food! I can get my ciabatta and pizza on! I fake my risotto with a short grain brown rice, but my dinner guests do not complain AT ALL.

and me being ethnic (black), once I figured out cous cous from the mediterranean market was nothing but a drier version of GRITS (????). PUH-LEEZE. Soupy cous/cous- grits on a cold Sunday morning are my best friend (with fresh cracked salt & black pepper) ....!
