Paris....very interesting! I don't remember them being that strict, but I do remember being told to limit bread, potatoes, corn ("there is NO nutritional value in corn!"), "starchy foods".

We could have potato skins, tho. I remember that clearly. I was a kid (1968, 14yrs old) and I remember my parents, at dinner, would scoop out the insides of their baked potatoes and gave me all the skins! My poor mom had fits over that! She felt like she was a bad mother because she was giving me the "garbage". I still love baked potato skinds better than the potato it'self! LOL
