[quote=Anonymous]There are different ways to go low carb and some are more extreme than others. For us, the only items we've entirely eliminated are refined white carbs and grains. Other starchy carby things, like sweet potatoes, might come on the family menu 1-2/week and they're not banned. When we're eating out we avoid bread and sugar but otherwise keep some flexibility, or I'd be kind of a hard person to meet up with for dinner. I find we get good results with this balance - the idea is that your diet should be primarily vegetables and those should replace the starchy bulk that would otherwise be on your plate. I feel much better energy wise and a hormonal imbalance I previously had has resolved itself after making the switch. So the benefits aren't just in your waistline.[/quote]
