Hello sweetheart. I was reading thru your page and just wanted you to know that the doctor said almost the same thing to me when I last visited. He told me I needed to lose some weight and take Metformin. He didn't give me the South Beach Diet thou. He told me to go on a 45 carb diet. No more than 45 carbs per meal. Girl do you know how hard that is? I tried but I soon stopped. I mean I'm not trying to have more than 45 carbs but I'm not going out of my way for it at this time. How's the South Beach diet working for you? Any difference? How's it taste? Is it filling? I just want to be satisfied to my next meal. On low carb diets you aren't supposed to have mac and cheese or mashed potatoes. Those are 2 of my favorite things. But I can eat all the meat and cheese I want. Let me know how your diet works for you. If it works I would like to take a shot at it. TTYL and
