Finally some good common sense! Thank you tim2000s

During the holiday's it's not uncommon to be given gift of holiday treats which are quite often just too delicious to pass up. It is very hard to know how much to treat for it though. When you buy cookies or snacks in the store you can typically read the packaging to find out the serving size...

Thank you Andrew! Great to know and I'm amazed this can happen. www.myinvisiblehands.com

Yep see that's what I've seen too. The lows are easy to diagnose whilst the highs are almost impossible. Thank you. www.myinvisiblehands.com
