It gets real easy when one cuts out the breads. The breads are loaded with the carbs. If I go through a fast food place I will order a grilled chicken sandwich or something like that - minus the buns and sauce. I don't each french fries, or catsup which are loaded with sugars.

It can get boring, but it all tastes much better. Once one is on a low carb diet your body really wakes up. There is a transition period of a few days where one seems weaker as one's body builds up cells again to extract needed blood sugar from the fat cells.

I break at times and splurge carbs on something like a chocolate bar every now and then, but I find that I have little desire for that stuff anymore. I actually enjoy the taste a plain piece of grilled chicken with a slice of nuked cheese on it as much as a burger with the works.

I don't eat hamburger either. I haven't had a hamburger in over four years. Now its all chicken, turkey. fish, nuts, etc.

Basically, I can eat almost any meat I want, most vegetables in limited quantities, but I avoid breads and sweets.

When I first went on a low carb diet I lost twenty pounds in a month. ;) I was taking in about 1300 calories and ended up between 10-25 carbs most days. My doctor said, "Whatever you're doing....keep doing it." Because my blood pressure was down as well. I attribute that to the large reduction of salt which I used to get from fries, burgers and all that good stuff.

And, yes, I always take stuff out of the plastics and put it in something that won't melt or seep into the foods.
