rust, good for you to continue your experimenting/tweaking with such a sense of discovery and a sense of humor!

I've found (early on, when Zoning) that certain carbs, though they'll keep me out of ketosis, don't trigger cravings at all...lentils, garbanzos, a boiled small red potato. The easiest test seemed to be, for me, this: if a carb really didn't appeal in the first place, it's a safe carb for me! It's the ones I miss that are the dangerous ones. don't it just figger.
