re: too expensive for me.)))

Indeed--but believe me, you won't drink much at a time! This is not the watery stuff that children gulp down by the pint.

With one of those locarb shortbread cookies by Snackwell--a nice treat.

Snackwell makes lo-carb cookies? When did that start? I haven't been down the cookie aisle for a couple of years. Not really that virtuous, I make my own. I did Atkins-by-the-book for a couple of months last summer and lost 30 pounds. Since then I've just been making lower-carb choices, and my weight continues to drop a pound or so a month. I need to go back to strict Atkins for another month to get in shape for summer.

Steve, the real owner of this login, has seen improvement in his blood sugar levels with the new grocery shopping.

Is the lo-carb milk in the refrigerator section or the shelf-stable? Wallyworld is on my list for today & I'll look for it.

No doubt. I've never been a big milk drinker since I was a kid. I guess the price just turned me off. I didn't eat cottage cheese at all, either, until I started a modified low carb diet about about 2 months ago. I've lost 15 lbs, but only need to lose 20, so I knew it would be a slower process. I haven't cut out all carbs. I have about two slices of bread a day(one at breakfast, one at dinner). I eat a whole wheat diet bread(when they say diet bread, it means it is sliced thinner). The whole wheat means I get some fiber. One has to check the label to make sure it says,"whole wheat flour", instead of "enriched wheat flour". The bread has 9 carbs per slice and is priced at about $2.49 per loaf, instead of the Atkins brand bread with the same amount of carbs at $4.00 per loaf.

Have been eating more fish, chicken, and turkey. Beef once in awhile and hard boiled eggs. Also more veggies and fruits and drink lots of water.

I have more energy and don't have the hunger pangs as much. As an example, had to go to an Olive Garden for a family function. Before the diet I would have ate a basket of their breadsticks, instead this time I had one. Also left a 1/4 of the pasta of a pasta and chicken dish on the plate(I ate all the chicken). Again before hand I would have eaten all the pasta, but my stomach was more than full.
