What I have learned about carbs
by Tiff on Jan.03, 2009, under Diet
Carby foods are the things that enhance the flavor of the actual tasty things.
For example:
Peanut butter = tasty thing.
White bread = not that tasty by itself.
Taco filling = tasty
Taco shells = not all that tasty!
Carbs are like taste enhancers (and they fill you up) - My first change of thought for no/low carb diet is, I can still have almost all the tasty things. Last night I made a “Taco bowl” (All the things you put in a taco except the shell.) I noticed I ate less but it was still very good. It definitely was lacking and had I eaten tacos with the shells, I probably would have had twice as much or something.
This morning I am having a scramble with 2 eggs, tomatoes, onions, mushrooms and turkey bacon. I miss toast, but why? Its just bread. I just need to remove the fact that carbs go with everything and they are addictive. Technically I am having a very tasty breakfast without the bread it is just a habit to have bread there. Not that I even b elieve that they are bad, but I am noticing that I am definitely eating less without carbs and I am not even trying. Interesting!
