| Several members here swear by the ultra low-carb diets. I have posted many times that I admire their self-discipline and dedication. However, I can't do it. I just can't. I try to aim for about 100 carbs per day, which is attainable FOR ME. I don't always hit that mark, but I try. I do pay attention to my calorie intake, since I'm doing my best to lose weight.
It is a balancing act, as Jan said. There are days when I kind of go on "veggie strike" because I don't want to LOOK at another salad, or broccoli, or anything green. LOL. I always go back to the veggies, but some days, I just can't stand the thought of eating any more of them. Heh.
