This is probably unlikely but does anyone here not eat carbs?

Beer = carbs.   
A carb-free diet would never work for me.  What else are you supposed to do while egging?  :

I agree with @SoCalTim. @BigGreenVOL, I noticed that you said you can't cheat. Is this because of a diet prescribed by a medical provider? If not, there are several diets that work. I recommend finding the one that matches your dietary likes. It's easier to stick with if it allows you to eat the things you like. A few years ago, I lost a total of about 35lbs. at a rate of about 2-3lbs. a week eating a diet consisting of about 50% carbs. Yes...50% carbs.  It was very easy for me to follow with plenty of energy. I also started an exercise routine. Basically walking and swimming, nothing extreme. Sad to say, I've gained most of it back. This was not a crash diet and the only reason I gained it back was due to returning to old habits and lack of exercise. 

Was on a car restricted eating plan for a while. Dropped the pounds like there was no tomorrow.  But then I married a Mexican, rice and tortillas are a way of life for her. Sadly she has developed a lot of health problems.....one of them is diabetes.  All of her docs have told her she needs to change things...including her absolute refusal to exercise.

I can't cheat, it sucks. Also just FYI cauliflower is pretty carb heavy, which kind of shocked me.

Good luck with whatever you find works. Cauliflower is about 1% of daily requirements for a 100g serving, according to our carb counter fridge magnet.  Broccoli is almost twice as much. The really big carb killers I thought were spuds (5X cauliflower), corn (24X cauliflower), acorn squash and even carrots(3X cauliflower). 
Depends if you have to stop all carbs or just lighten the intake. Lots of good advice from those on here who are health pros. Again, good luck.

There's a big difference in healthy complex carbs and simple carbs like sugar. Note:  I'm not a dietician or dr. My wife and I both lost a lot quickly by cutting out the simple carbs and keeping the veggies minus corn and white potatoes. 

Them em I joined the forum and started cooking all this tasty food that goes well with potatoes and corn and we both gained it all back.  

She pretty much refuses to alter her eating habits at all. She has some food allergies as well...and attempts to hide behind them. Forgot about the taters, another staple in our diet. She had gained a crap load of weighT and refuses to listen to me....or the docs....She has been known to throw out ridiculous statements....everybody gains weight as they age being one of them. When I counter that with how come your Dad hasn't she changes the subject. I have all but given up...talking to her about it is about like peeing on a forest fire.

The forum is a diet killer for sure. The only way to get by without picking up a few pounds is to only open devastated and political type threads

We're all different, and this probably isn't a risk for most people, but I learned the hard way that low carb diets can drastically increase the risk of kidney stones.  Had no idea, when I did it, but terrible pain and very expensive medical care were the result.  For some people low carb diets are probably reasonable, but you might want to talk to your doctor about it to be sure it's a good idea for you.

Let me be perfectly clear on this. Carbs is one of my very favorites. Can't live without them.

Straight up fish story. You're a Tyrannosaurus Rex that rips through as much meat as possible. I've never seen any pics of you baking bread in Unit 6. 

I love catfish but hate carps. 

I have been keto friendly for a bit over a year.  I started at 295 pounds and am proud to say that this morning I was 222. I'm almost down 75 pounds!!!

My secret to success is the keto philosophy.  Read the back labels of everything you eat! If your net carbs push you out of your daily numbers, pass it up or substitute for something similar.

I would love to answer any questions....

You can very much live a low carb or keto friendly diet with the BGE.  I have 2 eggs and have managed just as well.  

Eat when you are hungry, watch your portions, when you are satiated put down the food, and learn to love water more than Michael Phelps!

And before anyone wants to start the health debate, I have been an ER nurse for 8 years and I fully endorse this lifestyle.  Most dieticians and more and more MDs are recommending a low carb diet to help prevent diabeted....and its working.  

i did 3 months keeping carbs under 20 per day, could have gone longer but went to bed one night and found the remains of buttered fried toast in the morning i cooked it while sleep walking. little steven said he had done the same, nocternal sleep-related syndrom. as far as i know its the only time it happened but i dont try and limit carbs that low anymore, i still try and keep them under 50 though

 I have used the original Atkins diet as a tool to lose excessive weight a few times. For me, I need to stay on the induction phase if I expect reasonable weight loss rates. This means keeping carbs at under 15 grams per day. More and I always plateau for long periods of time. I did go from 309#s down to 245#s using this diet plan. Since it took about 10 months to achieve that weight drop I did have a few holiday cheats. But I found energy levels to be pretty good under this plan for me. I played sports and had no energy issues.

 It is about time to repeat this diet plan as I have been steadily gaining weight back since I stopped. If I am not dieting, I am gaining. Now with the BGE it should be a bit more fun to prepare the week's main proteins.

 As for BBQ sauce? I always just winnged it. A vinegar based with Splenda as sweetener. A bit of tomato. Lots of spices from the rack.
