lol - So many people do better when they reduce carbs. It's quite amazing. Back in the 1980's a doctor had me on a cereal diet - high fiber was its only good point as I look back. I hated that diet and lost nothing.
Now I am pretty much meat, fish, and veggies and much happier and healthier. I still eat carbs, but in much much smaller amounts. You can't get away from the rice here - unless you want noodles!
