May suggest the CAD approach? (Carbs Addict's Diet)

Avoid carbs for breakfast, and lunch. Eat the carbs you please for supper. The idea is to energize yourself with prots and fats (I prefer oils, like olive oil, flaxseed oil)

Change the carbs you allow yourself from GRAIN based to fruit/vegetable based. SEE

"Avoid" recognizes that fruits and veggies contain carbs, too, and that carbs are almost impossible to abstain from and probably abstinence will turn out to not be a "perfect" solution either. By allowing carbs for supper, you have a reward for being good to look forward to. The serotonin that will come from eating the carbs for supper will also help the brain to take in natural tryptophan which will boost your serotonin levels and make you sleepy. But I just read that if your evening diet has even 2 - 4% protein, that protein will prevent your brain from taking in that tryptophan. After experiencing the sleepiness that comes from carbing it, one may decide that carbs are not the greatest gift of farmers after all. In particular, the Adkin's diet theorizes that we were never meant to eat grains since the beginning. Grains are so often mixed into everything we eat out of boxes and in restaurants. They are dirt cheap, subsidized, and have a super long shelf life so they are the grocer's favorite.

In America, we have possibly the greatest distribution system the world has ever known and what do we see on the shelves? DRIED. BOXES. GRAINS. We could be seeing fresh fruits and veggies and meats and olive oil - but NO! That's not what sells. 11 cents worth of corn is turned into dried cereal flakes, or dried fried chips which are priced at dollars! Not cents, anymore. And we can't eat just one - because that's the design!

Wow, I guess my soapbox is cracking up.
