To quote Gary Taubes:  We don't know conclusively that carbs are the culprit, but they are at the scene of every crime.  He was talking about heart disease, diabetes, stroke, and for sure obesity.  There is even some indication that, while carbs may not cause cancer, they certainly contribute to its' spread because cancer cells only use sugar for energy.  Alzheimers is another disease that is showing some indication that it may be contributed to by excessive carbs. 

So, in order to lose weight simply reduce your carb intake and fast every day.  If you start to restrict your carbs you will, by necessity, begin to eat more fat and protein.  It won't take you too long to learn that consuming more fat will make you feel full quicker and longer.  I rarely eat breads, pasta, rice or potatoes in any form as well as very little ice cream or sweets.  I can't say that I miss them much because I find any more, that those kind of sweets and high carb foods are a quick path to an upset stomach.  I fast at least 12 hours every day, usually longer which means no snacking after supper. 

When I hit 212 I decided I would not be content to be that heavy.  I am down to 190 +/- 2 lbs either way.  Maintained that for several months without ever really feeling deprived.
