That sounds great! However, when you pick up your regular foods, just beware of how many sugar grams are in them. It's a little tricky reading labels. A lot of the low-carb foods say "NET" carbs which really means the actual carb that you are eating. To substitute sugar, these low-carb foods use sugar alcohols which taste like sugar, but when ingested into your bloodstream disappear and do not act like real sugar, making it bad for you. To make it easier, try not to eat sugary stuff and you'll be fine. Don't go crazy and start buying all this low-carb designer food because 1. It's expensive 2. It's good to have carbs in your diet, like whole wheat. I always buy my bread and pasta whole wheat. Be careful of OJ, it has a lot of sugar and carbs (so I get the Lite and Healthy kind from Tropicana) it's 1/3 calories and sugar! I don't understand why people would cut out a vegetable like potatoes. It's a vegetable! So yeah, just use common sense

And I was re-reading what I wrote and I have to clarify that
Sugar alcohols = okay
Regular Sugars = bad
The way I wrote it made it sound like sugar alcohols were bad, but they aren't. Okay, sorry, just had to clarify. Hee hee.
