Sundae, when you start a diet do you usually also start more physical exercise, such as walking? Carbs are great for you if you're using them.
In college a friend went to Italy for the summer, to learn Italian. She left a bit chunky and came back skinny-minny. She said she ate the heck out of some pasta, but walking all the hills in town she burned them right up and lost weight, easily.
I need the "I'm going to Italy" diet! Plus, all the sex I'll have with sexy Italian men will add up, too.
