The Doctor gave me a five page list of foods with the carb counts, and said I could have anything that started with a zero. I have studied Atkins for many years, and have moved on to take on salads and some low carb veggies. It will be a while before I go back to fruit though. Anyone with a sugar craving as strong as mine will fall off the wagon and just pork out on almost anything sweet....
Still looking for other cures. Have a line on some Chinese Herbals.
