                     Did anyone ever look at weight watchers and

                   (worse) lean cuisine's nutritional breakdown?

                    
                   Most of these diet portion foods have carbohydrate

                   counts of 25 and higher, while few have 15 - 17.


                 I know the new recommended diets say to make 40% of

                 the diet 'complex carbohydrates' but modified food

                 starch, etc., to me does not mean that.

                
                For serious dieters, watching your total intake of

               simple and complex carbohydrates is still essential to

               rapid weight loss.  If you are serious about weight loss

               better off eating 'fresh' foods or watch your bread if

               you will be eating one of those 'frozen' dinners.
