Like I said before hydrogenated fats and refined sugar are a problem and this is what the F/F resturants specialize in.
Around here we have triple patty hamburgers. You don't?
The Zone Diet recommends just that. Eat the meat and throw away the bun, or at least 1/2 of the bun.
Incidentally, I think the Zone Diet is one of the better more balanced Adkins (not Atkins) - like diets. Also, everything in their basic book (which I bought) is also on their web page for free.
