Now, this being my millionth year of dieting, I’ve discovered that while a small amount of bread is important in any diet, you need to limit it if you want to lose weight! Those bad old carbs!

At 423 calories this was definitely a filling meal, but as a result I should be able to avoid snacking during the afternoon hours.

And keeping the carbohydrates down is what the Adkins Diet is all about!
