I have a german cousin and she told me about a diet which is becoming ore and more popular in Germany at the moment. The main facts are:
- Only carbs in the morning
- Carbs and proteins for lunch
- Only proteins for lunch
- you are not allowed to snack and there must be a break of at least five hours
during the different meals
And shesays that it really works. She has been doing this kind of diet for about two months and she has lost 22 pounds! The diet seems a little weird to my as well, but maybe it is worth trying it!
 
I used to eat a lot of carrots, and I mean A LOT. So many that the skind on my hands and feet turned orange. I stopped eating them, but it took a while for it to go away. Now I only eat a handful of baby carrots every day.

There are many "diets" that work temporary. But when you come off this the weight comes back. Plus this does not sound healthy. There is no magic diet out there. Count your calories, eat healthy and exercise. Plain and simple.

I also try to only eat a handful each day. I turned the orangey color once and it also took a while to go away.
 
well I do love a full carrot a day Im trying to get back into some fruits. My apples miss me. Its just that one day I stuck a piece of apple in my mouth and I almost threw up and I have no idea Why So I layed off the apples But I think I'll eat one tomorrow. I love my 60 cal dannon light and fit yogurt though I eat one every day.

I know that there are many diets that work just temporary. Actually I would say that most people gain the weight back which they have just lost when they decide to stop their diet. But my cousin says that this is more like a diet; it is changing the behaviour of eating. And I am convinced that this is the key to an everlasting loss of weight. Well I don't know her kind of diet is really that good as she say but nevertheless it sounds really interesting and I am trying to find out more about it!
 
When you eat them, eat them raw, dont cook them or grind them (I dont know what word you people use). It isnt a good choice for the base of the soop because it looses its fiber, and then... the sugar is free to flow into your blood.
Its a very nice food, but like everything, excess is bad.
Long live to carrots =)
 
I love me some carrots, just plain and buy themselves. :D Only raw out of the crisper, though. I really don't like cooked vegetables that much. I'm more of a salad girl.
 
Hmmm, yeah carrots do have sugar, BUT...

A POUND of raw baby carrots (source: ) has only 160 calories. 13 g fiber, 21 g sugar. ...and a pound of carrots isn't easy to get down.
 
I LOVE CARROTSSSSS
too bad im allergic and whenever i eat them (which is a lot cuz they're so goood) my mouth and throat get all swolen and itchy.

i stil think its worth it. :)
 
Are you orange yet? If not, you're fine. Carrots are essentially good for you. I eat them for a snack every other day. Yummy, but pass on the dressing. Hmm, I think I'm going to get some now. Thanks! :O)
