I think you would be best served by doing an Atkins or Eades style cold
turkey ketogenic diet for a month or so to break out of the carb habit;
attacking it as an addiction makes more sense, and, I think, is much more
effective than trying to "trim a little." The ketogenic diet relives you
from the stress of having to eat tinier amounts. Eggs are a convienience food
on a ketogenic diet. You will be amazed at the fast results. Rick
