I also say that I have given up sugar and am cutting out most carbs. I have quit trying to explain. There is someone on this forum, and I apologize for not being able to remember who, that has a quote, along with their name, that I often "borrow". It goes something like this..

"I tell people that I have been on the fat, lazy bastard, spagetti, beer & potato chip diet for 20 years. Now I'm going to try that dangerous Atkins diet"

This one gets a laugh EVERYTIME!

Good Thread,
