[QUOTE="Grateful, post: 1644100, member: 438800"] I am blushing! I like you too! (There are some very likeable people here, I must say.) My dirty secret is that, ever since diagnosis and going on the LC diet, I have still been eating an entire banana every day (about 27g of carbs!!!) -- split into three portions, one at each meal. That is [I]in addition[/I] to the "budget" of 30g/day of carbs listed in my signature. I am now considering dumping the banana and replacing it with a daily pint of beer. If I do that I should still come out ahead, given that even the most carb-laden beers do not seem to have more than about 22g/pint. One of the "problems" with having an online presence is that one can get away with a lie (such as that 30g in my signature, which is actually more like 57!). I didn't do it deliberately, at first ... I was initially unaware just how carb-laden a single banana is. When I found out, I kept quiet about it.... I eat no other fruit except a few berries with breakfast. Edited to note that I have now [B]updated[/B] my signature to remove that lie about 30g carbs/day since it is really between 50g and 60g (taking into account either a daily banana, or a daily pint of beer!).
