I was thinking about that when I read your yesterdays menu. I was wondering about the taco. I never ate taco shells, bread, potatoes, rice, pasta et****il I got into a normal BMI range. If you include them during the losing stage you will get a false idea that you can still lose and eat carbs but it will take you longer to get to goal and you will continue with bad habits.
Today's menu lookis carb free so far.

You didn't list the toast...LOL My DH is a carb addict too. I bake him a loaf of bread every single day and he eats almost the whole thing himself. It doesn't tempt me to much because of the calories. I do have a problem with all of the sweets and other carbs (chips/pretzels) he has around the house. As long as they are in the cupboard or pantry and I'm not constantly reminded that they are there I do pretty good.
I know it's hard at the beginning but it is best to avoid them now. When you begin Maintenance you will have the pleasure of adding a few back in but if you never give them up then you will be adding some in to the total you are already consuming.
The only "bad" carb I allowed myself during the losing stage were saltines. I think a serving was six. I put laughing cow cheese or peanut butter on them. I ate them slow and really enjoyed them.

I think I need to give them up until I get to Dubai in April at least. There I will try a few things, but I won't eat them again until I reach goal! I had some toast and mashed potatoes when I was in the hospital. Wow, what a slippery slope. Like crack! BtW I have been in a stall since I got out of the hospital 2 weeks ago. I've limited my carbs to a bite here a bite there and 1 piece of toast per week. Think that little bit is contributing? Or is my body just healing. I was seriously sick with dehydration/starvation. I don't recall ever being that sick before.
Start weight 226. Surgery weight 218 on 1/6/12
I think a bite here and there are worse than just sitting and enjoying a piece of something. All of those bites add up.
Everyone stalls. After we lose for awhile our bodies seem to go into rest mode. I sounds strange but usually during stalls we lose a lot of inches. Do you keep track of your measurments?
When I was in a stall I would up my Protein drinks for a few days and then drop back down and that always got me going but I'm not sure what would work for you. I guess I would probably increase my food proteins the same way.

one session on the CPM done, 2 to go. I don't remember ever spending 15+ hours in bed in my life. I guess maybe right after some surgery or something but it has been for over 2 weeks now and my butt feels numb. PT today is at 5 instead of my usual late morning so my routine has to be altered. Not that I have much routine other than 6 hrs in the machine, eat, drink.
decaf protein coffee 35g
cheese grits
chicken
lemon tea 23g
