Thanks guys...you're right about trying one thing at a time for a while... Today, I added a half of grapefruit to my lunch...been having strawberries with no effect... Didn't notice any negative affects at all, actually felt better.... The half of grapefruit is only 5 carbs....lunch was 1 cup of cabbage and 4 ounces of sausage... It was very very good... But the fruit is really satisfying immediately after my meal and that's great...
