   You didn't spell out very much.  What is difficult?  You mentioned
peanuts, but you are _not_ supposed to eat peanuts.  They are beans not
nuts.  Please elaborate...I would like to help and I am sure everyone
else would too.  I wake up every morning (without the alarm now) so very
happy that I started this diet.  It isn't a diet to me anymore, it is a
way of life.  You can write to me off list if you want.Love,
Bev
