Be careful not to go low carb for too long. My ability to think and reason decrease significantly when I cut out starchy carbs significantly for extended periods of time. Total avoidance can lead to binging… your serotonin levels can also be affected. Oh, and let’s not forget that you could end up constipated. If you need to have strategies in place, just cook single servings. Have them in the meal and then walk away from them. If Ezekiel bread is hard to resist, stick with things like sweet potato and squash. Some people are sensitive to wheat and some rice, so stay away from those if that is the case. What if you mix some grains in with your veggies, so that you aren’t tempted to eat a whole bowl of rice? A salad with some cooked barley mixed in is quite tasty, for example!
