I have never really given a real effort at dieting, but am ready. When I was pregnant with my last child I had gestaional diabetes. I was put on a extreamly low carb diet and insulan. I lost weight while pregnat which was a concern for me at the time. But this very thing is what intriges me now. I felt so food deprived and hungry all the time. I'm sure there is a happy in between from the diet I was on then and the way I eat now. But I don't know where to start, what to count. I would like to lose about 40 lbs. The problem is that I really enjoy pastas and breads. Do these have to be cut out compleatly? Or can I still have these in moderation? Where can I get diet guidelins for free? Anyone willing to help out a newbie please respond.

Hi, Tammy. I'm going to close this thread since it's a duplicate of the one you posted in "Introductions." Duplicate threads make it hard for the community to follow an issue.
