alto that sounds like a good suggestion. I was trying to add cream cheese on celery, but that gets old. I love nuts and will be going to the grocery store sometime this weekend. You are right about not thinking of this as a diet. I have been yo-yo dieting for so long and I am determined to never do that again. I loved breads and pastas and I now realize they aren't good for you. Funny thing is I don't miss them that much. I was always a meat lover, but deprived myself because "too much" was a bad thing.
