Hmmm...guess they haven't figured out that it's not the carbs that make you feel full, it's the FAT that keeps you satisfied. When I was eating a lot of carbs, I was always hungry and wanting more.

I'm also a little disappointed on the examples that they present as "normal" low carbing. Bacon and a lump of cheese for lunch? Sheesh...I usually have a big chef or Caesar salad or leftover meat and veggies from the night before. I rarely eat bacon and I still keep cheese to 4 ounces a day or less.
