How do you get off it (besides fasting)?
I used to never eat sugar, but back then I had rice every single day. I was considering that approach again, but that was, almost, um, ten years ago. Maybe my metabolism is different? Dunno.

I just don't buy into the "no-carb" diets. Human beings need carbs. But, if you watch calories, you'll naturally be limiting the carbs you ingest to more easily meet calorie counting targets. -
