@NataliesgrammaThat may be because potatoes begin to change into sugar in your mouth. That's why babies like them so much!

Thanks, @momtochloe. Of course I wanted to lose 20 pounds in a month! I've finally come to grips with the fact that this is a longer project. I've already been able to stop my acid reflux meds, (been doing this about a month) and hope to eventually get rid of the blood pressure meds as well. I'm a baker, so some days are tougher than others. I found a paleo slow cooker cook book on the clearance bin at Barnes and Noble and have made a couple things that were quite tasty. And DH doesn't even realize he's also following the plan.

I did made chocolate chip cookies for DH last week and didn't even lick my fingers.

The cookies and bagels of the world will be there when I can handle eating them sparingly.

I can get sloppy after doing this for 3 years, but if I get back to my original intention-

"Be the HEALTHIEST GRANDMA you have it in your power to be", I can always get myself back on track.

There is a FB page called dietdoctor.com that espouses the low carb lifestyle, and just this morning there was a discussion about MEAL. Four years ago, I would have loudly claimed that I'd never be able to do that, but now, it's a piece o' cake ( that I wouldn't eat!).

Check out MEAL if you're interested.
