Carbohydrate Addicts Unite!

I did the low/no carb thing once and ended up having trouble with my kidneys even after all the water that I drink. (my husband always make comments that I need to save some for the fish in the sea). The high protein really did me in.
Now I try and just watch the carbs that I eat and make sure that I don't eat a ton at one time. I also make sure not to over do it on the protein.
The low/no carb diet does work though. I lost 30 lbs before I got sick.

All i have to say is give me P A S T A I cannot live without it

oh yeah a can or two of pepsi or dr pepper with garlic bread

To answer the question, yes, I am thin.

But I don't think that has anything to do with my ability to eat or not eat carbs.

I think it has more to do with my Irish ancestors surviving on taters Yum!

Huh...I said taters...

Here's the thing... I need to lose weight, LOVE carbs and don't eat meat.

What do I do?

Also, I can't make myself eat meat. I would turn anorexic. It makes me sick! hehe. No, I can't stand the texture of meat.

eat soy products. Get some soy hot dogs/lunch meat/bacon etc...-if you have a Sun Harvest they have many of these products. I also eat this fake salmon called "Veat" which is really good with garlic and rosemary-ummmm. Of course some of these products have the texture of real meat so you may not like them.

I'm a vegetarian, also because I can't stand the taste/texture of meat. Morning Star brand makes some pretty good fake meat stuff, and you can find it in Walmart. But don't buy the bacon! It has the taste/texture of cardboard. I've had their hot dogs, sausage crumbles, chicken wings, etc, which have all been good.

Where does one get this "Veat" stuff?

As for carbs...mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm....I like me some carbs. (This being typed as I'm eating a lovely bowl of Ramen for lunch.)

Have you tried South Beach? I've had some friends lose weight with that. Came across this cauliflower breadstick recipe:
