Thanks!

I avoid grains entirely (wheat, oats, rice, corn, etc) so no bread or pasta for me. I don't eat potatoes either. And I also don't eat sugar except for a controlled bit when I'm on the bike. I'm super careful with it though and stick to agave nectar (low GI) as much as possible.

I get most of my carbs from vegetables and fruits. I don't weigh/measure most things...just the things that can get me in trouble with carbs (fruit) or calories (fats). I've been at it a while now so I can eyeball most things. I pretty much load up on the veggies (no measuring there!) and eat normal sized servings of protein once or twice a day.

That probably sounds crazy restrictive but I have substitutes for most things so I don't really miss anything. Instead of pasta I use shirataki noodles, spaghetti squash, or zucchini shredded into long strips. I have a grain-free roll recipe that works great as a bread substitute. And cauliflower is a magical vegetable lol. I use it to make pizza crust and as a potato substitute (mashed faux-tatoes, faux-tato salad, cauli-tots).

I read a lot of diet/nutrition books as I find them inspiring and motivational. The one that's closest to what works for me is Mark Sisson's The Primal Blueprint. Love that book.

Anyway, hope that answers your question
