Does anyone else miss Hudsonville ice cream? The Grand Traverse Cherry, Mackinac Fudge and the deertracks are off the chain. I haven't found anything close to that quality here.

Crazy, on my way home from work I stopped by Food Town and picked up some Better Made chips for the first time in my life.

(and some Double Trouble, Diggs, hahahaha)

I've cut most carbs out of my diet, and definitely all fries, potato chips, pasta, etc. but in a perfect world, I would be able to sit and eat Better Made waves chips with french onion dip all day long.

Soooooo good...
 
I gotta call someone up there and have them hold on to a couple cases for me.

it's been a rough adjustment so far. I feel hungry all the time.

Drinking a ton of water?

If it is medically necessary I guess I'd do what I have to do, but I don't think losing weight will ever be important enough for me to cut carbs out.
 
doctor said I have high blood pressure. he told me to cut out carbs.

from everything I've read, eating less is generally a good thing, as long as you're otherwise getting enough nutrients. it's the excess carbs that result in wear and tear on your body.
 
I rather take pills and eat the foods I like. Not eating pasta is like an offense against mankind.
 
High blood pressure, I guess that would do it. I'll probably be on a health kick soon, my wife is ready to start running again now that she's 6 weeks out from giving birth, so I'll be attempting to keep up.

if you need lots of carbs, they are a good source.

the avg. person doesn't need as much as they take in. plus, they usually load them with salt, butter, sour cream, cheese, etc. which is a bit much
 
Not me, I love baked potatoes with just a little bit of butter. Love mashed potatoes too, but only add butter and milk, no sour cream and/or cream cheese like a lot of people do.

I could live on potatoes.

I don't need the carbs. Since I've started running again, I've lost zero pounds. Without reading how atkins worked, I tried avoiding carbs for a month a decade ago and the pounds just melted away. I don't want to go that route, but I do think of potatoes as something to avoid rather than a staple now. I used to mash a package of cream cheese into a pot of potatoes...they were awesome.

I still drink a fair number of carbs.

Maybe your doctor should persuade you to not be so much of an asshole? That could help your bp.
