I once went carbohydrate-free for about two months (excepting fruits and vegetables). It's the easiest thing in the world until you let stress get in the way. From my experience, will-power alone is next to useless for changing your diet, because as soon as you have a stressful situation come up you will have to redirect your will resources to something else and then you'll relapse. The only thing I find that works long-term is to stop considering sugars to be food. However, if you pull it off, you'll feel a lot better than you do on a carb-intensive diet.
