I'm with you all the way on this one, Hellonwheels!HellonWheels said:>>>>
The major problem for ppl like me (with IBS) is that we need to eat low fat and HIGH carb. So if a place removes their lowfat/high carb menu (as some places near me have done), and replaces with highfat/low carb, we're screwed. There is often so little on many menus that I can eat now, I usually stuck with the lowfat menus sections. But in some places I can't even do that.
Thank God there is still SUBWAY. Although Pizza Hut now has come out with a "Fit and Healthy" pizza....reduced cheese, healthier toppings (veggies and chicken), and a thinner crust.
Personally , I think the atkins diet is worse on women than men, and even worse if your're active . It does make you lose weight but you're too weak to work out, your'e depressed and grumpy, and all you can think about is food. - I used to fantasize about peaches and strawberries! So now I'm eating low fat, trying to avoid **** carbs - over refined flour/sugar/rice etc, but I still eat my sorbet and white rice and white flour. The weight loss is much slower but much more fun and all I have to do is feel my arms and legs to know that I'm definitely putting on muscle!
I can't stand the whole diet industry, either low fat or low carb. If you succeed it's because of their products, if you fail it's your own lack of willpower. We may have evolved eating meat, but it's one thing to chase down a wild boar, skin it, cook it and eat it, and it's something completely different to order a whopper without the bun !
by the way hellonwheels - there's always Jamba juice
