Being a Somersizer amidst a sea of hard core no-carbers and extremely low-carbers, I was pleased to see this article!

Excerpt: "Let's look at the facts. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Guide Pyramid, the average person should eat 6 to 11 servings of grain on a daily basis. However, according to the Nurses' Health Study, women who ate the most whole grain foods reduced heart disease risk by about one third. The catch is this: they only ate about 2.5 servings a day compared to the Pyramid's suggested 6 to 11! "

So while no carbs is great for jump starting weight loss, this information seems to support the idea that more moderate ways of eating are good in the long run. I find that a "serving," as described by the ever popular food triangle, is usually a rediculously small amount and I suspect that the Somersizing plan probably does average about 2-3 servings of carbs daily even when we eat only one small carbo meal daily, or a larger one three times a week.

I found this while looking for links to add to my reply in this thread:
