I cut carbs and have not looked back. I have even developed a dislike of them. Our stomachs adjust to what we eat and after a while, eating two slices of pizza just doesn't sit well. I found always going for the lesser of two evils was a big help. Sweet potato over regular potatoes. Vanilla Haagen-Daz over Ben and Jerry's (has lower sugar and more fat). whole wheat wrap with some sort of high fat salad (e.g. chicken salad) over a roll with just turkey and cheese. You wind up just developing a preference that isn't necessarily one of exclusion.

> Our stomachs adjust to what we eat and after a while, eating two slices of pizza just doesn't sit well. This works the other way around as well. After a few weeks of not eating vegetables, eating a few cups of broccoli doesn't sit well either.

Per 100 grams, there is little difference between potatoes and sweet potatoes. The preparation and condiments will make a larger difference than the tuber.

  This is pretty wrong. Take a look: http://www.precisionnutrition.com/regular-vs-sweet-potatoes http://www.precisionnutrition.com/regular-vs-sweet-potatoes

    No, I said per 100 grams, that page compares a medium potato to an average sweet potato. Go find one that compares 100 grams of potato to 100 grams of sweet potato. (I had looked at it before I posted)
