Elminate Carbs?

Anyone ever eliminate or drastically minimize carbs from your diet (especially RICE and PASTA). I love rice, pasta, and potatoes....
How did you do it? and did you constantly feel hungry? Does the weight come right back on if you start eating carbs?
I do like carbs, but I try to do whole wheat...

Re: Elminate Carbs?

we don't eat anything 'white' anymore (brown rice, whole grain pasta, whole grain cereal)

we never keep bread in the house and rarely have wraps. once in a blue moon i'll pick up the low card wheat wraps from Trader joes...they are SO good!

i want to start packing lunch (in an effort to save $$$) so I will probably buy wraps weekly or a whole grain bread

DH and I both workout A LOT...can't imagine not eating any carbs!

Re: Elminate Carbs?

I did atkins getting ready for a pageant, lost 30 pounds in 3 months.

At first its def an adjustment, but I found it was easy for me. I ate a lot of bread and pasta before hand, so it was a definite switch.

I found things like pork rinds and chicken broth helped. When i first started I was a little hungry, but i adjusted quickly.

The weight didnt come back at first when I switched back to eating potatoes and stuff. I kept losing weight actually. But it did come back and more when i added bread back in and went to school
