Hey Rena,
Thanks for your note. You know, if I have much carbs it just makes me want more. I stay under 10 a day. I have to really be tuned in to my body when I eat even if it is only meat or I will overeat. You can overeat just meat and kill your weight loss. As soon as you feel full quit. I don't miss a meal even if it is a little late or the old habit of overeating sneeks up the next meal. Believe it or not, I find exercise helps control appetite. When I'm tempted to have extra carbs I just remember how I used to be and I believe I can't afford a relapse this time..you know what I mean? Stay in touch and hang in there. John
