I've got to agree with the Long Tall Texan on fruit and weight loss. Keep fruit intake low, especially if you have an insulin problem. Atkins, Eades & Eades, any pro will tell you; the sugar in fruit will stop you in your tracks if you're hyperinsulinemic. It's Christmas and I've been letting myself have some fun. But in a normal week, you'd be lucky if you saw me eat two servings of fruit. We're talking all week, not in a day. Michael may have mentioned fruit in a posting with another title; if so my apologies. But he's right on this one; to drop weight keep fruit intake low. Better yet, eat berries instead of fruit. Strawberries and raspberries have the lowest carb count of all natural sweet treats, with melons pretty low, as well. I know Ray Audette says you don't need to count calories, but get a food count book anyway, especially if you need to keep your carbs low. ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
