Good advice new@,
I don't think the thought of staying on really low carbs forever would have remained appealing for long.
I'm usually good with complex carbs. The only simple carbs I have are yogurt and orange juice.
Maybe I'll start with 50 and 150 beginning tomorrow. (low days first)
Now that all the holiday parties are officially over I'm fine about not seeing refined sugar for a while!
Once again, thanks to all for your help & advice!
