I find I need at least 25-30g carbs each main meal otherwise it just doesn't seem to work well for me. I can manage to eat some Pasta etc providing the portion size is restricted a lot. This also applies to a lot of other foods which may well be taboo on a pure low carb diet. I use reduced carbs, low GI/GL method. Frozen Veg is fine, fresh is obviously better but i also use frozen with no problems, just check the carb content. As for Egg's.....personally I still only eat 2-3 per week. I know that there is some thought that egg's are fine, however I am set in my ways and just eat what I think is right for me. I have had a major Heart Op in 2004 and was advised to avoid too many Egg's.....so I do. what you are advised and what you do is entirely your choice of course. Ken</blockquote>
