yes, I have to remind myself this fact.

I know that Atkins, Protein Power, Carbohydrate Addicts and the Zone all emphasize that meals and snacks must center around a quality protein food. (I confess that I am less familiar with other lowcarb regimens).

This means you really must be prepared. Plan in advance. Remember the way of life is not only lowcarb, it's also high-protein, meaning ADEQUATE protein. The Eades' explain this clearly in both Protein Power and their newest "Lifeplan". For a medium-build, sedentary woman (that's me) you should ensure at least 60 gms of protein, divided evenly through the day. Snacks should ALWAYS have protein. This is a good reminder when you are about to snarf down a "sugar free" chocolate bar. By the way, sugar-free is NOT carb-free. Anyway, what protein food are you going to have with it?? It's best for your insulin and blood sugar that you don't eat it alone. Maybe a handful of roasted nuts, or some sunflower seeds??

Hmmmm, something to think about.
