I'm not trying to be difficult (just curious), but are you worried that
breaking the no-beef rule would set off cravings? That's how I've become
with carbs*...just the teensiest taste of, say, a cracker...and I
immediately want a huge plate of pasta smothered in marinara! If that's the
case, I commend you on your "don't break the no-beef rule!"

*I had to go off the low-carb diet about a month ago. I've got something
going on with my liver (we don't know what yet, I get the results of the CT
and extra blood tests tomorrow), and it took my appetite with it. Then it
became a matter of "If I can get it down, I'll eat it. The hell with carbs
or fat or whatever." As it is, I'm averaging about 750 calories a day. I
wanted to lose weight, but not this much! LOL.

Congratulations on the weight loss, Andy. And kids, please don't try my
method at home!
