I consider it a lifestyle and in those several years of doing it, even I have never considered eating only meat - even if for only a few days. I think this is a big reason why many low carb diets get such a bad rap because some people do them that way and then people who don't know about low carb think the diet consists of only eating meat, eggs, and cheese. I can't tell you how many times I have been told over the years how it's "so unhealthy to eat low carb" only to find out the person telling me this thinks that low carb diets are only about eating meat, eggs, and cheese.<br /><br />In the many years of eating low carb, the thing I think has been the biggest lesson for me is that keeping carbs down is important but keeping fiber up high is even MORE important. What seems to help me immensely when I am going wholehearted at my lower carb efforts is to make certain I eat a BIG salad every day....like big enough where it maybe makes up your entire lunch. I don't like iceberg lettuce. Romaine is fine. But honestly, my favorite salad leaf is baby spinach leaves. They have a wonderful texture and they are almost entirely made up of fiber.<br /><br />Personally, I would not do an all meat thing for anything.AUTISMOMMAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11409553613709277901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2886550030061459124.post-23189142073518580792009-11-23T04:50:59.047-08:002009-11-23T04:50:59.047-08:00That stuffing sounds like a great alternative!

I'm also terrible at gravy of any kind so I buy canned. (Isn't that terrible?!!)<br /><br />I never did low carb so I'm not sure about the answer to your question. You might want to pop over to South Beach Steve's site - www.logmyloss.com - and see if he says anything about it. He does a modified South Beach low carb diet and has had a lot of success.<br /><br />Take care and I hope you had a nice weekend.Diane Fit to the Finishhttp://www.fittothefinish.com/blognoreply@blogger.com
