I know what you mean about the glasses thing. I have been wearing glasses since I was 11. I even put them on to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night!

Sugar problems run in our family. My mom is on glyberide (sp?) and my dad has to watch his sugar too. Ray's dad lost his eyesight to diabetes and he had to take insulin injections. Ray's sugar always used to be high before we started this diet, now I think it's normal. I asked him last night but the doctor doesn't check it every visit. Ray sees him once a month for his blood pressure.

You know you're right, I don't get the fuzzy tongue like I used to. Still get killer breath from the cheese though!

Another side benefit from low carbing is...wait for it...less stuff for the recycling bin! Our composter is filling up rapidly from all the strawberry tops, coffee grounds and veggie peels.

We have a small bucket with a filter from Lee Valley and it gets emptied at least once a week. We buy our meat in bulk so there usually are no trays, the egg cartons go to my sister in the country for the "egg man", and since we don't use cereal or stuff like Kraft Dinner, there is very little cardboard! We usually have only 1/2 of a green garbage bag each week. Who said this diet was a bad thing?
