Cut out or down on potatoes/chips/white bread/rice/pasta. Now eat whole wheat bread/pasta/brown rice/few potatoes/very few chips.

Didn't do a complete Atkins, just modified it some. Never went completely carb free for those first two weeks.

Down went the cholesterol/blood pressure/weight from 187-154, and been there ever since, w/o even trying.
See sugar mentioned. Yup, got rid of that too. Splenda ever since.
