WW: I am living proof that being Scots/Irish with a little English and Native American thrown in is NOT a guarantee against all things sweet being comforting!

Interstingly enough, though, a lot of the things in this thread are allowed in my food intake, except the potatoes, too many carbs! I've lost almost 40lbs, so I am going to stick with it and enjoy the butter, eggs, sweet cream, broiled chicken, etc. The doctor who came up with this is a cardiologist, has treated people for a lot of years, and has good reasoning along with scientific backup for what he advocates, which is anathema according to all of the diet gurus. LOW Carbs, HIGH protein! Works fer me:-)

Oh and the sweets thing? He's got scrumptious chocolate brownie food bars, baking flour, recipes, etc. all of which are lo carb, so no prob. I'm in heaven!
