Thumbs up carbs from green veggies only

After balking in resistance at the beginning, and pouting and whining ... it occurred to me that .. Hey, it's only for 4 weeks. But the biggest thing has been the challenge of DISCIPLINE. From the perspective of Low-carbing in general, ie .. not as it pertains to this particular project ... carbs can and will come from all different sources. I found it quite revealing about my own eating habits ... when I realized how often I've racked up 25 to 30 carbs in a day ... and way over half was derived from ... condiments, processed meats, cream and cheese, coffee, sugar-free pudding mix.

You may decide after this to never eat a green veggie ever again .. but I think the insights and awareness of what we're eating on a daily basis ... will be invaluable in terms of the lifelong LC journey.

My 2¢
