It's ok to cheat once a week!
Don't eliminate carbs all together, just eat the good ones like whole grains and vegetables. That way you aren't craving the bad ones.

Snowboardgirl is SOOO right!
Eliminating anything from your diet is unhealthy!
Atkins/south beach may help you lose weight, but they actually increase production of a chemical linked to heart disease - anyone who's family has a history of heart disease is severely cautioned against those diets!
Eat those GOOD carbs! And Enjoy!

Thanks for the tip regarding the South Beach diet PrincessRose, I have heart disease in my family and I am glad you told me that.

No Problem - I was talking about it with my Dad. He had angioplasty about two months ago, and a heart attack almost 3 years ago.
Apparently, when your body does not have enough carbs and begins to burn protein, one of the biproducts is a chemical that can cause harm when there's too much of it. SO if your body is ONLY burning protein and no carbs, the occurrence of this chemical is more prevalent.
