Nikki, it's doesn't have to be no carbs. It's all about controlling your carbs. Your body needs some carbs to be healthy, it's just a matter of making as many of them healthy carbs as possible. (green veggies are best...also hard for me cause I'm a picky-veggie-eater).

I substitute all white-flour products (breads, pastas) with whole-wheat, and cut my portions in half. Same with white vs. brown rice. I've completely given up potatoes (which was really hard for me, I love potatoes!).

Sugar's a big one. Eating foods with sugar in them is like attacking your body with carbs. Even though it's expensive, I only use Splenda now instead of sugar. I have some really awesome recipies for low-carb sweets (I'm talking chocolate cheesecake, peanut butter cookies, etc). I'd be happy to share them with you if you want
