I'm not a carb counter. Too many years of diets requiring that I obsess about the weight and mass and type of food consumed taught me that, to live with a diet, I had to keep it simple.

I learned where the carbs live in the foods, and eat real food when I'm hungry and stop eating when I'm full.

Recently I have been dealing with a health issue and nobody seems to be able to tell me what is causing it. This brought me to ZC. Naturally, I'm not really eating zero carbs, but I've cut the vegetables out of my life. Fruit was gone years ago, along with bread. If I'm allergic to a food, this should help me track it down.

Even though it has been just a couple of weeks, I believe I'm doing better, and my eating life is certainly simpler.
