I wish I could have a "my body is a temple" mentality.
Instead my body is dumping ground.

I know exactly where you're coming from, but I'm not just talking about my personal approach, but my approach with those who I train, many of whom used to be overweight.
These Low Carb diets are all about controlling blood sugar/insulin to help reduce the calorie retention that high blood sugar and the resulting high insulin levels that it gives. My approach has always been towards sensible eating and exercising.
Avoiding the awful carbs and exercising correctly will control insulin levels/sensitivity just as much as low carbing will for most people with the added benefit that you don't miss out on the various minerals, vitamins and fibre that you get from grains and you get fitter as you shed pounds.
That being said, although I have my views and methods I do try and keep a little open... there are wrong ways to do things but there are also lots of right ways, if it works for you it works. I'm always keen to emphasise caution when doing drastic cuts like this, if I seem like I am out right dismissing low carb diets then that is probably why.
I wish you were training me fella - coz I am fucking useless!! Got the gym part all sorted, but the food is crap. I could probably manage to lose weight the 'healthy' weigh, but it would take me 3 months to get to where I want to be and I have such a 'quick fix' want it now' mentality, that I just can't see the long term
God is a concept, By which we can measure, Our pain, I'll say it again, God is a concept, By which we can measure, Our pain, I don't believe in magic, I don't believe in I-ching, I don't believe in bible, I don't believe in tarot, I don't believe in Hitler, I don't believe in Jesus, I don't believe in Kennedy, I don't believe in Buddha, I don't believe in mantra, I don't believe in Gita, I don't believe in yoga, I don't believe in kings, I don't believe in Elvis, I don't believe in Zimmerman, I don't believe in Beatles, I just believe in me!!
Here's my diet:
If it has either swam, walked or has flown through the air: Eat it.
If it has grown from the ground: Eat it.
If man made it: Don't eat it.
Unless it's Sunday, then in moderation only.
