My bariatric doc recommends a "no carb" type breakfast for me too. He also has me pay attention to carbs the rest of the day -- even the "good" ones. He's been successfully treating weight disorders for around 12 years now, and is well respected in the field.

It's worked for me: I'm down from morbidly obese to ALMOST normal, and have been "almost" for about a year now. I'd like to get to truly normal eventually, but I'm pleased with being down to reasonable, and maintaining that too! (it's true: one CAN lose baby weight, even if it takes nearly thirty years!)

Of course, part of the challenge of weight loss is that not everyone is the same, and limiting carbohydrate doesn't do it for everyone. What has proved truly important for ME is not skipping or delaying meals/snacks. it causes what a friend of mine refers to as "vaccuuming" the kitchen!
