Hi Gemma,Thank you for the kind remark.Congradulations to you also,you done really well.I don'nt keep a jornal,but im thinking about it at least for a carb count.I look at labels on everything i eat,and also i found this store-lo carb cafe.I can go there and get a chocalate ice cream malt,it taste as goog as the real thing,it has no sugar and only 4 carbs,also they have these candy bars that are wonderfull.Again no sugar and about 1 carb,they also taste like the real thing.That has helped alot,and i try and hike a good bit.How do you like the Protein power diet,do you burn the ketones on it?Best of luck ,Dave.
