The funny thing is No, I feel I am still dieting just eating more of it!! If they only new!! I will read your log I am so interested, and you mentioned some food options that are carbs but less bulky thanks for that, but in the MRM book it says to stick with 40/30/30 and keep your starchy carbs at 30%--what exactly does that mean?? I read it to mean to stick with more grains, beans, and potatoes I guess bananas would be a starchy fruit, but am I reading that right, and then the 30% starch--this is a crazy question, but I have to ask does that mean my whole 30% of carb intake should be starchy or does that mean 30% of my 30% goes to starch?? Does that make sense? Thanks Dessie
I think 30% of your carbs should be starchy carbs. I forgot that part!!! Guess the LEIGH wants you to learn to eat starchy carbs!!!

If you look at the big picture of your life, so you weigh 110 or 115 or 120 ultimately so what... if you're healthy and can control a weight maintenance and food maintenance and healthy maintenance. All of those weights would be fine, huh? Ha! I even used the word "control"

So is that what this is all about "control?"
for ALL of us?
I'm in control
I'm out of control
Food controls me
I can't control my food
