Hi Fiona

Sorry to hear that you have been in hospital, but glad you are back with us and not put off by your experience.

Well, that is certainly good news on the blood pressure front. Excellent.

It is interesting how people react to the word Atkins. You can tell most people do not really know what it entails. His last comment about staying off Atkins, but congratulating you on the weight loss is rather two faced.

Hope you do not get a recurrance. Otherwise you might be on Kilroy like Claire Sweeney saying that her kidney infection was down to Atkins.

Don't worry about the high carb foods you have eaten. A few days back eating normally will see you back on the losing track. Do introduce some fruit, but not too much as it is pure sugar. If you don't eat the fruit as part of a meal then eat it with protein or fat to slow the digestion down.

Have a good weekend.
