I've lost 55 lbs since Jan 2 on low/no carb. For veggies in your garden you should try to grow spinach and leafy greens. Most peppers have lower carbs also. Though the leafy greens have carbs they also have fiber which cancels out the negatives from the carbs. I'd be careful with tomatoes. They are fairly high carb.
I usually eat a couple hard boiled eggs for breakfast. Sometimes I cook up some smoked but uncured bacon. Make sure you read the bacon labels or know what's in it. Sugar or maple cured bacon defeats the purpose if you want low carb. Sometimes I just stop at Jack In The Box and get extreme sausage sandwiches and just toss the bun. You have to be careful with sausage though. Most of it has carbs.
There are a lot of rumors about aspartame being toxic but the researchers at US FDA pointed out flaws in the European study that made the claim (which is what all of the rumors seem to be based on). The people who need to avoid it have a specific reaction and are rare. The toxins that it does break down into are even more abundant in natural meats, vegetables, dairy, and fruit. A good story is hard to kill though so you will hear the rumor being spread again and again.
My experiance only. I won't advise you how to lose weight. I'm happy with my progress though.
That's a lot of weight. Can I ask what weight you started out at?
