That's exactly what I'm looking for. I couldn't decide if it was the weight, getting old (now 42) or a combination of both. I have gradually added 25 lbs. in the last 5 years, and I just don't feel as sharp as I use to. My problem is I want the weight to go away instantly. I have tried the "no carb" programs, but as you mentioned, trying to find low carb or no carb foods in your daily travels is next to impossible, so after a week or so I fall back into bread, rice and potatoes. I am going to have to take a long term approach, dropping pepsi is a good place to start.
