Carbs should be the last food you eat after Protein and vegetables.

I would agree with TMF, too many carbs will slow your loss. Protein first, carbs second always. I think carby foods are as addictive as sugar sometimes. I had some chips with a burger patty the other day and started craving them. Had to end up throwing them out before I found myself sitting on the couch eating chips..My band is okay with chips by the way.

Thank you for your replys, l have just lost my way a bit, it's true you do crave carbs. I certainly do, will now change to high Protein, would cheese be an unhealthy option ?

cheese is high in fat and not so good on Protein. chicken, fish, low fat beef and pork, eggs, Beans and rice are all good sources of Protein.< /p>
