    Is there a trader joes anywhere near you? They actually have pretty good frozen Indian entrees as well as various curries. You could buy a jar of curry and then throw it on some cauliflower or chickpeas and it would be really good.

Hell, I even experimented with going below 20g of carbs a day so I was getting the vast majority of my food energy from protein and fat, and while I probably wouldn't have been running any marathons, I was otherwise perfectly fine.
    I've been keeping my carb intake under 20g for just under 4 weeks now. And I've dropped 10 pounds. I'm about 3 pounds away from the weight I was at when I was 14 years old. Nuts!!

    People are generally baffled that I'm eating things like cheese and bacon and lots of eggs and the pounds are just dropping off me. I've had to explain the whole bit about carbs and fat and insulin over and over cause I get asked all the time wtf I'm doing and is it healthy and whatnot. That being said, I probably won't maintain this for much longer and I'll up my intake to about 50g-70g. Which is still far less than what most people consume in a day.
