Hmmm... more evidence that carbs are the culprits

Well, today was the first weigh-in for our at-work-12-week-challenge.  While I was in line, one of the ladies from another office was talking.  She had lap-band surgery in July and has lost 60+ pounds so far.  But before she could even HAVE the surgery, she had to "de-fat her liver" and lose at least 10 pounds.  They told her to go on a protein diet.  She did, and not only lost the 10 pounds in the time-frame they gave her, but lost another 14 as well.  She eats protein and vegetables.  Protein. Vegetables.  Hmmm.....  Does THAT sound familiar?  And now she only eats about a cup of food at each meal.  Hmmm... what have I been saying (if only to myself) about the capacity of the human stomach per meal?  A cup.  Hmmmm.... seems I was on to something and I didn't fully realize it.

Let's see what I can do with THIS little tidbit of information.
