I'm not going to try to think I have any answers but what I can say is people are different. Everyone has a different make up. What works for one person may not necessarily work for another. There is no "real" way or "right" way, it's whatever works for you. I think too much of anything is no good. In this diet-crazed society we live in we all want to find the magic diet that let's us eat as much as we want and still drop pounds too. I think a lot of us have to realize that it just ain't gonna happen. If lowcarbing properly is helping you feel better about yourself and helping you to lose weight, then it's something you should continue. But I wouldn't lowcarb just because I think I can eat 5 pounds of beef at one sitting just as long as I don't have the bread. That's just plain gluttony.

I think we here in the Western world want to have everything on a grand scale including our meals. We want bigger houses, more clothes, big cars, fast cars, vacations every winter and summer. When we discuss eating out with friends what is usually a comment made about a restaurant - the size of the portions. If they're big, we make a point of stressing that the most rather than the quality of the food.

Maybe the old mantra "everything in moderation" is right way but I don't think the masses are disciplined enough to do it - myself included.
