Irish, I've had good results on this substitution, but dudn't stick to it. I was doing good today, but had some potato chips with my beans for lunch. They were small pieces and the baked kind, not fried, but still potato chips. Already down and today was the first day! I tend to do that to myself. Went to the doctor yesterday for a check-up on my broken arm and even with shoes on, I was down 4 #, but that doesn't show that way on my scales at home...aaarrgh............which do I use? Still have some time in this month to make mine look like the doctors. BTW, my arm is healing and I won't need surgery!!!! Soon I'll be back to sewing and even typing with two hands like some normal people - but then, me normal? I'm going to get another glass of water. TTFN
