    Thank you for all of your kind wishes. I went to the local Ember Inn for dinner and had almond crusted brie, beef pie with green beans (just the filling) and a flourless dark chocolate cake with berries and cream. Thought I was being fairly good but my guts are rumbling now so guess that I wasn't :( Never mind, I will just have a cup of tea and should be ok in the morning.

    It has been a lovely day here today and good to see the sun :)

    pink princess - flax, seeds, nuts, avocados, dark chocolate all provide fibre and are helpful, depending on your carb allowance

    Glad that a few more are joining in; please come back if you have stopped posting recently as we need each other and this board was always good for information and a laugh ;)

    Love to all xxx

    I'm intrigued by this- can you give us a rough idea what your menu looks like please?

    marrbett. Well it's a bit to long and detailed to copy and paste it all out here, so here's the link to what Jack calls his " Epi-Paleo RX (RX=perscription):

    http://jackkruse.com/brain-gut-6-epi-paleo-rx/

    This woe is a food plan that is based, as I said, on plenty of seafood and seaweeds....a diet he suggests that enabled homosapiens to developed brains far more evolved than other primate species, because we evolved out of the Rift Valley and left there following along coastal paths, where this food source was plentiful AND easy to obtain! It makes a lot of sense to me anyway. I never count anything any more...this, after a lifetime of counting one thing or another, i.e. calories, fat grams etc. etc. It easily enables me to retain my weight and BF%, and gives my body all the nutrients that are required.

    The site itself has SOOO MUCH info, which I've steadily read over the past months, but find it's easier now after my catchup reading, and the forum members' experiences are very helpful/insightful too!

    Fellow LCrs-there is something seriously wrong with my taste buds these days, choccie biscuits taste too sweet and today's(sinful!)cheese and pickle toastie(I know, I know!!!) didn't taste as good as it used to. Somethings afoot......

    I found this too , after months when I first went ZC on an all meat diet. I just think it happens as one's taste-buds stop experiencing the "sugar hit" that they've had for years, along with sugar's rewarding, hormone-producing cascade...a definite plus as far as I am concerned !!

    Just found a little more corroborating evidence supporting this....

    What Jack does is, as he puts it.... " shines a tourch on stuff that's already out there",....... showing people the dots (information), that we can join up and make our own, informed decisions, when presented with more/further/correct information!!
