that sounds like a good plan, eaterow. Thanks for replying everybody. Enomarb, what I meant was that I can't find any veggies that would go good with hamburgers or hotdogs. The other day, I had green beans with two hotdogs, and since I wanted two hotdogs w/ the bun still on, I felt I needed to eat the whole can of green beans. Yuck. I just don't like veggies all that good. I have always been a junk food eater. But I still ate them, because, if I'm not mistaken, the Hellers say you can have all the carbs you want as long as you balance equally with veggies and protein.
