Add to that that you eat much healthier, fiberous carbs like broccoli, asparagus, cauliflower, spinach, green beans, etc is a big plus as opposed to eating starchy carbs like bread & pasta. Though low carb bread and pasta can be used if you want it.

#1 thx for your response Centurion. It was all the GFY atkins threads that finally got me motivated to actually try it as well.
re: your post..and in particular what I quoted.
This part is so damn true.
Yeah I'm eating some high fat, high protein things too. But I'm eating more healthier vegetables than I have in ages, of course I'm on induction so it's limited.
but still, I am making improvements in that direction of my personal diet. I buy fresh vegetables nothing canned.
I've pretty much stopped eating anything that's processed other than bacon and canned tuna.
I have a very small desire to snack on crap foods but each day that desire gets smaller and smaller, where in the past that's all I ate.
T.V. dinners for lunch, fast food for dinners, chips, candy and sodas for snacks.
People might wander why I just couldn't start eating healthier without having to follow some book's guidelines.
The only thing I could say is just that I have tried it, and in the past I've always felt hunger and a need for protein and I had a serious addiction to sugar.
This book just seemed to make sense. Everything seemed to click and explain how my body seems to work and crave all that crap.
I'm in this for the long haul. I'm 36 years old and have already been told by my doctors that i would be diabetic within a year and I need to start taking a baby aspirin once a day because I'm in that prime age for a heart attack.
Well I want to prove them wrong. And will.
