I tried that after a good five years of low carbing. We moved to Spain and I thought that I could take advantage of the fruit orchard in our garden there - natural and healthy -making sure I stuck to healthy, low GI fruit/berries. It wasnt long before ice cream and the typically spanish breakfast of "churros" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Churro beckoned me and then it was free fall and I gained weight, got the familiar aches, pains, eczema.....
It wasnt until we returned to the UK and I put the brakes on that I went back to low carb - the difference was astounding and theres noway I'll eat carbs again!!!
