I completely agree with you sponge, Angela, rust, ag and Claudia.

I think the terms of measurement were probably invented by lifers trying to get newbies into the way-of-life mindset but it backfired and caused more panic. So instead of worrying about overeating 1 gram of carbohydrate for one day, there was something even bigger to worry about.

You can bring a person who wants to lose weigh to the refreshing stream of low-carb knowledge, but you can't make them drink it...especially if they don't like water.
