I made my usual meat sauce with 1/2 a pattie of ground beef, a chopped
Roma tomato, 4 or 5 mushrooms kinda cooked together and put on top of
about 1/3 cup of cheap Schnuck's 0.89 cent a can pasta sauce (and more
cooking), but instead of linguini I sliced up 3 bell peppers and
sauteed them in a little EVOO and put my meat sauce over that!
MmmmmMMMM!!

I'm thinkin' of low carbing it to lose 20 or so lbs, but what am I
gonna do with my pot of rice I just cooked up, and the XL sourdough
loaf I just bought fromSTL BreadCo? Not to mention all my leftover
Christmas Candy! ;-)

Eat the bread and candy, and don't feel like you can't. You've never
been really fat, so it'd be silly to go to extremes. I'd toss the
rice right away, but that's just me. Pick a day to start after you
have eaten your stores of candy. The switch from "my cells primarily
burn glucose" to "my cells primarily burn ketones" is not enjoyable.
Your body screams, "I'M STARVING!" After 3-5 days of severe carb
restriction, your body is pretty screamed out, like a toddler whose
tantrum has de-escalated to a whimper. After you lose the 20, you
experiment and figure out how much bread and candy you can have w/o
putting fat back on. Think of carbs as treats, never as staples. The
idea of choosing rice or potatoes as a treat seems silly, and it is.
Thirty grams of carbs from a chocolate bar or some high quality crusty
bread is the same as 30g from rice or potatoes. Wasting those carbs
on tasteless white starch is absurd. Say you grill some bratwursts.
You eat 2 of them without buns. You just saved as many carbs as are
in FIFTEEN dark chocolate Hershey's kisses (or the equivalent higher
quality chocolate). Chocolate vs. hot dog buns? It's laughable, but
most folks seem to think that the hot dog buns are a more responsible
choice.

But if I eat two brats sans buns, how do I hold the brat to eat it
without getting fixin's all over my hands? ;-)

Hands that are sloppy with fixin's are better than abdomens that are
sloppy with fat.

Just make sure that the condiments are, in the words of one famous
colonel, "finger lickin' good."

If they were not, they'd not be on any brat of mine! ;-)

Some people would rather have just one brat (I'll take an Italian
sausage instead) in a bun and no chocolate.

Stab it with a fork, dip in condiments and make a salad out of the
vegetables... or do what low carbers do: wrap it in a lettuce leaf
and proceed as usual.

My oatmeal bread I love has 26net carbs in one slice. Huge amount of
carbs.

So to have your bread/brat and eat it too, start reading nutrition
labels in the bread aisle on every single product. You will find breads
and tortillas that are as low as 6 net carbs. Give and take sometimes
works better than deprivation.

Or warp it in half of a low-carb pita.
