and if I might add Silvia...you can use carbs...try jus to use the less processed ones..like whole grains, brown rice, things like that..skip the white bread...really has no nutritional value if you look at it. Same with iceberg lettuce...tough for your gut to digest and no nutritional value at all. Go for the darker leafed lettuces...packed full of nutrients and vitamins.

If you pick up a starving dog and make him prosperous, he will not bite you; that is the main difference between a dog and man.
