As noted later, this is the lower-carb version of the filling for my mom's
sour cream rhubarb pie recipe.  I've replaced the flour with xanthan gum,

It's a holiday weekend, yesterday marked 43 lbs down, and I've been working
out like crazy. So I had 2.5 pieces of thin crust pizza. 50 carbs I think it

Sincere thanks for any help.

I plan to start the Induction Phase and my wife and I are heading for the

1. I am not dead.
2. Thank you all for the outpouring of love and support.
3. When I figure out which of my kids used my computer, someone is getting

I just followed a link I believe that came from this newsgroup.
It says that eating things that taste sweet, even if they do not contain
carbs, makes your body think it has carbs, so therefore insulin is released?
It then has similiar effects to have eaten carbs?  Examples would be ...
