You are probaly right it may be to rich for my body right now... I will try makign one with 1 0z of the cream cheese then move up..Ive been stayingon a modified induction stage since my firts inital 2 weeks were up... having a few nutsand extra vegie... to get my 20 grams of carbs in.. mainly i stay on it because i dont think i have the control yet i need to move up but have been thinking about moving up to the second stage here lately by adding a few berries here and there... my weightloss is an average of about 1-2 lbs a week now and thought of at least moving up to 25 to 30 carbs to see how i do about beign in control of my food... Ive learned that I eat to live not live to eat....
