Re: Diet Pops and no carb mixers



I'm not going to preach but I eat a lot less carbs, weigh 155 am 54yr
male and only use 28 units of insulin a day. Lower carbs and lower
insulin doses will make you free.

I still eat spaghetti at GREAT Italian restaurants, only the good stuff-just not much and take the rest home to heat up over the
next 2-3 days.


I used to eat a ton of carbs but after forties it gets harder
to lose weight. That's my story. YMMV
