Carbless
I’ve never been on a diet, so this is big for me. A couple of weeks ago I decided to try eliminating carbs from my food intake for a little while and see what happens. I’m not trying to do any kind of Atkins / South Beach / Hollywood / Bollywood (um no) / Crazy Pills kind of dieting. I’m basically going to replace carby stuff with meat and/or veggies.
So far, one of the hardest things has been giving up soda. I love soda, or as Ash would say, I heart it So, the other day I tried Diet Mountain Dew, and surprise surprise, it tasted mostly like Mountain Dew. Ashley tried Diet Dew and said it tasted nasty, which, since she thinks Mountain Dew is nasty, confirmed to me that it was as close as I could get to the original. Then I tried Coke Zero, which is another take on Diet Coke. See, my main experience with diet soda has been Diet Coke. And to me it’s like being forced to drink chemicals that should remain in your laundry closet. So, Coke Zero was a welcome surprise as well.
I haven’t really missed bread that much. I’ve never really been a fan of pasta, so that’s made things easier. I’ve been eating hot dogs (no bun) and oven roasted chicken. Throw in some veggies here and there, and the occasional egg for breakfast. I do miss my favorite Chinese food though, because I can’t have fried rice 
Ah crap, now I’m hungry. 11:15am? Check. Time for some chicken.
