Thanks superwoman and hypoband. I think these will help make life a little easier :cat:

I think I will have to reconsider what I thought I knew - eeek. Is it better to have more protein & natural fat and cut out carbs altogether? I think I am suffering with information overload! I'm going to bed now to sleep on it maybe it'll be clearer tomorrow :)
