Hi Paul and Girfriend, Welcome.

I drink diet coke and have no problems. I do believe one finds out as they go how sensitive they are to these fake sugars.

I have been low carbing since the end of Feb. and have lost 14lbs. Even though you are finding information on the web you may want to also get the Atkins book to explain in better detail of this woe (way of eating)?

Good luck and looking forward to your postings on your success.

Wendy
