Who Really Loves You?
I’m gonna do it. I’ve studied a number of diets out there and I really and truly think low carb is the way to go. I looked and looked for the “all bread all the time” diet and Google failed me. Google, I thought you had all the answers!
Low carb is the most efficient way to force the body to burn fat for fuel instead of the readily available carbs. The thing that really is the sticking point is that I truly love carbs. Like, we should get married and settle down and be fat and happy together forever.
But that is a false dream, the delusions of a girl who needs to face the reality that carbs will turn on you. While satisfying your immediate desires, they really don’t have your best interests at heart. I mean sure, a warm chocolate chip cookie loves you when it’s waiting for you on the plate, but who’s there for you when your favorite jeans won’t zip? The cookie is not only part of the problem; it wants to lead you further astray in an attempt to comfort you. It’s all lies!
Smart women need to learn to look past the glamor and appeal of flour, sugar and 100-calorie cookie packs and appreciate the long term commitment of protein. It protects muscles, promotes efficient fuel burning and it will proudly be there for you in the fitting room.
Carbs, you’ve made a fool of me for the last time. I know who’s good for me for the long term, and it’s protein.

Yes, bread, dear, dear, bread, is truly my downfall. I hear those old tales of prisoners having to live on nothing but bread and water, and I think, “hmm…that’s punishment?”.
I don’t think I could go the distance with your plan, but I wish you lots of luck. (Well, maybe just a little less luck than me, but lots anyway).

Gosh, it’s just like real life. Those smooth talking boys will leave you for some hottie.
Chocolate chip cookies - we’re on to you!
