I skipped a chunk of this thread so I wanted to state my claim...
I love carbs. I have recently switched from eating sugary carbs (cookies, white bread/rice etc) to eating wheat flour products. Restaurants aren't always nice with the fries and mashed potatoes though... however I won't cook those at home so I guess a little bit won't hurt once in a while.
I would never go on Atkins. High protein diets and diabetes don't mix in the long term. And I am not a huge fan of meat and love fruit too much. I do like, however, the fact that low carb foods are available for me in greater quantity. The more insulin I give, the bigger chance of weight gain. So having low carb bread available (yes, I have considered buying some) is better. I don't understand low carb beer though... Bud Light never had that many carbs to begin with so why all the low carb alternatives. Isn't that what Lite beer is supposed to be?
here was something scary. I wanted to try the subway wraps I see ads for all the time. sure it has 6 grams of carbs (yay!) but it has 22 grams of fat (yuck!). Same goes for the salads. I'll stick to the ham and cheese... 6 grams of fat.
