Steveknight and others on low carb diets:
1. You are right about avoiding processed foods, etc. Most food in America is crap.
2. Foods with fiber fill you up better than foods high in protien. Foods with high fiber take the longest to digest. There is an additional weight loss benefit that your body cannot completely digest fiber and some of the calories you consume will never get used by your body.
3. Come on, deep down you know that eating bacon, hamburger patties and all that meat is not good for you. You are harming your body and greatly increasing your chances for many diseases. There will be long term consequences to how you are eating.
