You are talking about the Atkins Diet and it is awesome. However it is a life change and you need to keep the changes or you, well as with any other diet gain the weight back. I lost 80 lbs 10 years ago and gained it back because i tried to eat all the normal crap again. Didn't work. This time i have lost 46 so far over the coarse of a year.(also with the help of MLC) and want to loose 40 more. It didn't take that long the first time but with things so screwed up i haven't focused as much on it till now. I have worked more on me again. I also know i will have to keep up the changes. Also don't let anyone tell you it's bad for your kidneys and other organs. I went to a kidney specialist and he said that it's just fine for me. Docs usually don't like the diet.
I eat a lot of fish chiken some eggs, tuna, green veggies,cheese, and so on . My carbs come from the veggies these are good carbs as ST stated. Starches like bread and potatoes are a no-no.
Nikki kudos on the pumpkin. My son loves to carve extravagent ones. Remember don't do what you don't feel comfortable with.
Or if you want it Just make him want you do it then get up first say thanks for the sex and walk out of the room leaving him to think what the he$$ just happened.
