Thanks Talo.
When you mentioned the 'carb-up' day you were referring to CKD correct? I have toyed with the idea of CKD for awhile now. I did the semi-atkins for awhile and my fat and calorie intake was insane while my carbs were never more than 20g /day (net carbs of course). That was what got me to lose the 50 lbs.

I am doing something similar now but I am more aware of fat and calorie intake. It is alot harder trying to keep carbs low as a vegetarian because alot of veg protein sources are high carb.

For example: black beans..only about 100 cals but they have like 10 carbs, 6 fiber, cant recal the protein content off-hand.

cut these out? any opinions on the oatmeal?

I will definitely start playing with the numbers and see what I can do.

Thanks!
