Perhaps the people who attack this WOL are in denial about their own carb addiction? (hee hee)
After all, they go on and on about "How can anyone live without pasta?" and "People must have bread" and how much nutrients there are in potatoes. (Have you ever compared potatoes and broccoli? Or bread and romaine lettuce? It's a real eye-opener!)
It's a failure of the imagination to feel that you have to keep eating the way you keep eating.
I've been there and back and I'm here to say:

Sandwiches taste better without the bread.
Pizzas are better on Portabello caps.
Alfredo sauce tastes better over spinach than it does over spaghetti.

Would I have believed it if I hadn't tried it? Probably not. Was it openminded of me to try this "wacky" eating plan. I like to think so. Does it work? AND HOW!

And that is the everpopular bottom line. If it works, it works.
