The thing I'm going to do (starting right after Christmas) is a low-carbohydrate diet...it doesn't allow refined sugars and grains, but it does allow (depending on the kind of low-carb diet you're doing) most, if not all, dairy product, ALL nuts (Yum, I looove nuts.) most fruits, most veggies, (not potatoes, though.), and then any kind of non-breaded, non-glazed, etc. meats. Pretty much a wide-range diet. So you don't have to buy any special foods besides natural foods, no pills, not too many restrictions (the sugar/grain/starch restriction might seem strict...but since you can eat plenty of fruits and definitely most veggies, you're good to go. I'd recommend berries if you don't want to eat a fruit higher in sugar than most fruits.). I don't really think going low-carb is much of a diet, though...just a better, more natural way of eating.

Btw...if you tell me that grains are important to a balanced diet, not mine...I have a wheat sensitivity. So I don't trust all that in my diet. And I'm a really bad sugar-junkie. So it'd be best for me to stay away from most of it...so I basically gotta be on a low-carb "diet."

Yes, but the point Gwen is making in her video is that those kind of diets usually don't work, because it causes us to focus on the food, which makes us love food more, which in turn causes us to overeat (and usually the "wrong" things.

On the Weigh Down diet there are no "good" foods or "bad" foods. God pronounced all foods clean. You can eat whatever you want as long as you're only eating when you're hungry, and not passing full when you do eat.

For more information on how to recongnize when you're hungry and how to tell if you're full, go to the website:
