Thanks for the advice</blockquote>Hi, Ignore the traffic lights - they are actually dangerously wrong.  Instead look on the back of the packet, if there are more than 10g carbs per hundred then ditch it.  better yet only buy foods with no labels at all- ie real foods,  meat, fish, eggs, dairy, nuts, above ground vegetables.look at dietdoctor.com to find the list.Note that the fatttiest types of meat ar the cheapest and the best for you, plus offals, plus bone broths made from bones from a butcher very cheap  - I only ever buy the cheapest stuff on  offer .Also when you get used to this way of life,the quantity of what you eat will go down and so will the food bill ![/QUOTE]
