Rudey, a quick note. You have a right to feel how you do about your diet. BUt folks like me, or preciousjeni, have just as much right to speak out against it. I'm not trying to attack you, but please try to be a little kinder.

When you post facts, we'll talk.

I am eating an everything bagel with cream cheese. Not exactly low carb, but oh so good.

I just had Home Run Inn "Low Carb Cheese Pizza" at the taste of Chicago and it was delicious!

An H&H everything bagel?

No, but those are good. I either bought it at Tal or a place on Second Ave.

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.

Papa Murphy's makes a low carb pizza too but everyone I've talked just ends up eating more of it because it's not filling so it cancels out. It is yummy though.

You're kidding! Would the fat count get better if you left out the cheese and/or bacon?

Yeah, when I was following the weight watchers plan (I'm starting up again) the Atkins wraps were more points than some of their larger subs. It's crazy!

I heard Ben and Jerry's came out with "Car Karma" (low carb) ice cream! They have it in Chocolate, Half Baked, and Vanilla Swiss Almond with 4, 5, and 2 net grams of carbs (respectively). Has anyone tried it? Was it any good?

The key is moderation and exercise. It is okay to eat what you want, as long as you are smart about it. Granted, that is arbitrary, but so is everything. Do what is best for your individual body. Carbs are great if you want them.

The Ben and Jerry's stuff is good. Not as good as the full fat kind, but definitely still quality.

I can't remember which one I had (and not in one sitting )

Also, the Edy's slow churned light is good too.



Boy do I sound like a pig now.
