Hmmm ... pasta. I have this twice a week with my spag bog. Tricky.
I don't eat rice these days - I suppose I could replace it with shredded cauliflower if I go back to eating chili con carne. Pasta though ... I'm sure there's a healthy replacement for it but nothing springs to mind.

I was always a yoyo dieter. I could lose weight through willpower and only eating meat and veg...but I always craved more carbs. When I was strict carnivore (meat fish eggs) on day 30 my cravings went away like flicking a switch, and now the thought of anything sugary turns me off whereas the thought of a bit of belly pork or rib eye gets my mouth watering. I didn't realise you could be carb addicted, but that showed me I was.
A stone would be good, Ron (I'm like a svelte version of Exige although you can always improve) but my main goal is to reduce the processed food and other toxins I consume.
I started snacking on crackers a while back so that I wouldn't eat bread or crisps every day. Then I noticed feeling a bit gash after crackers!
I occasionally weaken and buy crisps but that is getting less and less frequent. I think the key to knocking them on the head entirely - I love those feckers so much - is to force myself to read the ingredients list if I pick them up on a shop.
I hope he doesn't ban them. Things are easier to resist if they aren't banned.
Rich can fuck off, no one tells me when I should revolt!
He's a bit of a porker
I`m not that keen on rice, pasta or bread so they are easy to skip, potatoes will be a little harder.
Haha! That's not the reason for my "porker" nickname ...
Edit: Ooh, waitaminute. Yes it is. It's definitely that
I eat what ever the fuck i want, i'm a skinny Guinness and allways have been, just weighed myself and 9.5 stone, no idea why scales are in the front room but they are!! 
The most i have ever weighed is 11 stone, that was when i worked for Asda night shift, the crisp isle, sweets, biscuits and cereal isle was just to much and made you mega hungry, i just don't put weight on and never have.

You're 3/4 of the way there already

You still smoking Wayne?
I was like that until I gave up smoking in my late twenties. After that, things got chubbier for me, until my early fifties.I eat what ever the fuck i want, i'm a skinny Guinness and allways have been, just weighed myself and 9.5 stone, no idea why scales are in the front room but they are!!
Unfortunately not. If I never had rice pasta or bread again it wouldn`t bother me in the slightest but potatoes. Crisps, jacket potatoes, roast potatoes, chips, new potatoes.
No, it's coming up to a year now, the money i've saved is a god send and my asthma has gone, win win Ron.
Seems plausible but since it's the publication "Science", I'll still be looking for a real explanation.
boiled ones (without butter) might be ok?
You're better off eating the butter and binning the starch-balls.
You are.
Nuts are no problem all natural fats and proteins.. Green salads ain't a big issue and if you insist on having a dressing make sure it's proper full fat and no diet crap as it substitutes fats for carbs... Fruits should be a treat as they are high sugar
I remember being introduced to cauliflower rice by the ex.Replace the pasta with more chiliI eat tons of chili with good cheese grated on it
if you need a filler coliflour rice cooked and fried off in a pan with an egg is a great non carb substitute
Looks like spag bog is out, chili is back
I don`t use shop bought dressings on salads. I add a little olive oil, a little vinegar, a good squeeze of lemon then add salt & pepper.Nuts are no problem all natural fats and proteins..

I will eat the tasty mince that normally gets heaped on the spaghetti I just don't go that heavy with the sauce as it's not needed to flavor the spaghetti... Same with a Sheppards pie I love the mince I just forgo the lovely potato... On holiday I will eat everything as I treat these carbs like alcohol and drugs to be enjoyed on a special occasionI remember being introduced to cauliflower rice by the ex.

I personally hate a Caesar dressing but if people like them make proper full fat versions as they are far healthier than the low fat rubbish
