Meagan --

I'd suggest this as a simple way to up your carbs: try steamed whole artichokes, with a dipping sauce made of mayo and crushed garlic. A whole artichoke including leaves is about 6g carb, takes a nice long time to eat, and is still a vegetable. If you do fruit, the lowest-carb are strawberries and raspberries. Raspberries aren't particularly sweet in any case, so perhaps less likely to start cravings?

Could water intake, or lack thereof, possibly be a culprit? Evidently if you don't drink enough, your body doesn't "wash out" the weight!
