"Hungry-angry"...is how Mxo describes my mood when I come home with lowered blood sugar, too much coffee flowing through my veins (and out my ears some days) nothing to eat but one cookie since my meagre lunch, and a bus ride full of fatuous, all-too-audible Other People. Now I don't even get that cookie.

SITUATION:I weighed myself on the weekend

oooh, good luck with the dieting! Luckily, once you start seeing results, it encouraged you to keep going. I do the low-carb thing myself and I agree that starches shouldn't be entirely removed because they can be a very good source of fiber. Just eliminate the filler carbs, like fluffy white bread and white rice, stuff like that. Good wholegrain ryes, brown rice, or even a potato (as a wholefood, so include the skins) and pulses are nummy. What I do to limit to my carbs to just one of my meals during the day, usually lunch. That way I never fall prey to the temptation of breaking the diet...I know my carb fix is just 24 hours away at the most

Thanks! Potatoes and lentils are my staples. No one else in the house will eat my lentil recipes, though. I'm glad to hear that the craving for sugar goes away after a while - those blood sugar spikes you mention were/are really screwing me up. I'm just going to use caffeine to induce my wild mood swings and explosive rages from now on.

As for cost, I don't do the grocery shopping, I just listen to the complaints about how less is more, Or Something.

I cut back on the pastry and candy. Thank you unemployment.
