Thanks, Razzle! I am feeling pretty good about all this. I'm discovering that there are some substitutions that I can use when I need a 'cracker' or something, and that this isn't a 'meat only' diet. I never thought I'd actually want to avoid sugar - that feels so strange to me, but I'm feeling a lot better all the time. Guess that's the 'vitality' talking!
