Been there and done that also, but not for trying to lose weight. Yes a moderate carb, fat, and protien diet is what I strive for. Found that having a veggie for breakfast is difficult. Maybe I should have a glass of tomato juice with breakfast, but should that be counted as a veggie or fruit?  Anyway trying to balance every meal is a real pain and not always practical. So instead I try to balance it over the course of 2 or 3 days. I would not recomend trying it this way for anyone seeing readings of 170 or more frequently. One of those things you can get away with if your in good control.
