I have lots of fruit in the house as well.  I'm growing watermelon and I
love watermelon.  I love the yellow (blonde?) cherries, apples, bananas,
strawberries, mango, and nectarines.  Cutting down on fruit would surely
help me lose weight, but it's very hard for me to do!

I have not been able to give up coffee at all.  I know it probably wreaks
havoc with insulin levels (is that right?), but that is the one vice I do
have - and I didn't give it up the first time I did Neanderthin and I will
probably still drink it now... I know I'm bad!  Janet
