Any suggestions on eatting veg and low carb at the same time? I am not
caught up in this whole Atkins/South Beach thing, but I know many are.
thanks;-)
I'm not really caught up in this thing, either, but it did make me realize
that I was eating carb portions that were way too large. Since last May
I've cut my portion sizes to 1 small potato instead of a large one, 1/2 C of
rice or pasta instead of 1 Cup, open-face sandwiches instead of buns, etc.
I've also switched from carb-based snacks to protein-based snacks--mostly
nuts and cheese. And I increased my exercise from 3 days a week to at least
5, varying between aerobic and muscle training workouts. I've lost almost
20 pounds, which isn't a huge amount, but I've lost it slowly and feel good
about being able to keep it off. Bottom line--fewer calories and more
exercise.
