I am all for low carb, how about some low carb chocolates

You can eat a lot on a low carb diet also A lowcarber can easily afford a few pounds of vegetables, and some eat this way. 1500-2500 kcal/day is plenty of caloric headroom for some good-tasting foods, once you cut out the sugar and starch.

I think that if you are serious about losing weight and/or eating healthily, you will prepare most of your food from scratch, thus maintaining control of what goes into it. Right. Commercial food is designed to make the person overeat (to buy more of it). You see, in their original form, both low carb and low fat diets told dieters to cut out junk food. That alone probably accounted for much of their success. i |
