Not sure if this should be here or the Health & Fitness board, but what the hell.

My wife has just decided she needs to lose weight. Now, this girl is a lean size 8, so don't ask me. Must be something deep and bizare in the female brain. The girl is too thin for the 27 inch hipster jeans I bought her on my last trip overseas!

Anyway, she has (in her infinite wisdom) chosen a "low-carb diet". To be honest, I think most of these diets are 50/50 common sense and bunkum. But that's not the point.

The main issue I'm struggling with is the "low carb" deal. This means, much to my utter horror, no more potatoes.

I LOVE potatoes.

They're my favourite vegetable, and I like vegetables.

Being an Irishman, I'm sure there will be some corny or smart-arse comments, but seriously... it really has to be the King of Vegetables.

There are SO many things you can do with them. They taste so good!

How am I going to last?

Mr Mephisto

PS - I also have to give up nice fresh bread.... Oh my God... Help me....
