9. I'm also a low-carber

I do, once in a while, eat a processed low-carb snack or bar (which may have a bit of wheat in it), but in general, no grains, potatoes or other starchy vegs (how I miss peas), no sugar...and those bars are the only processed food I ever have. I indulge in fatty foods, protein, and tons of vegetables. I have a great recipe, from cookbook genius Dana Carpender, for strawberry yogurt popsicles, and have one for my nighttime treat.
A fun side effect of low-carbing is no gas (by which I mean no tooting)!
