Just wanted to share something that I’ve been going through. I had a problem w/gluten and had to eliminate all flour products. Do you know how hard it is for an italian to not eat pizza and pasta? In any case, I’ve lost weight and I think it’s a combination of sedentary lifestyle AND too much carbs. I think anyone who eliminates carbs even for a month will see results, weight loss and more enegery. But that is really hard and takes major discipline and willpower. Breads, bagels, pizza, pasta, etc, etc. It’s like an addiction.
