Throw out the cookies and then dump water on them so you can't eat them out of the garbage ....
he amount of carbs a body can take varies- we are all different... I can eat a little more than my DH for example. To start- I think it is best to stay between 30-40 grams per day... so- that would be the equiv. of 1 apple. You want to eat lean meats and limit anything with nitrates (hotdogs, bacon, etc)... and keep your cheese intake to 2-3 ounces a day if at all. I eat unlimited non-starch veggies (eggplant, lettuce, cucumbers, peppers, squash, etc)... and unlimited lean meat (chicken, fish, pork & certain red meats). Good fruits are all melons and berries- keep intake to 1 cup per day to start. I do not eat anything 'white' - sugar, flour, etc... NO milk products except the occassional 1/2 & 1/2 in coffee... and TONS OF WATER....2 liters a day to start.

do you exercise?
I eat carbs about EVERYDAY and still lose weight. A calorie is a calorie, it matters more, how much you eat!

I have always exercised several days a week and for the past few months I haven't been. I see a big difference. My hips won't stop growing and its really bugging me.

The thing is- everyone's body is different- some people can eat more carbs and lose weight- other's can-
some people are insulin resistant and will gain weight if they eat carbs-
Melon & berries is a GREAT breakfast by the way..
