Thanks jadeca.

Yep, you're absolutely right....some people use the carb up as an excuse to pig out on everything that this WOE is against. They fail to remember that these items are what got us FAT in the first place! Plus, most of us are addicted to carbs! I totally agree....if someone does the carb up thing, they should definitely stick to good carbs. (Add in more veggies, have a yam, something like that...but NO white bread, sugar, etc!)
