Thank you very much, Debbie!

Hi Everyone!
I too am new to the board and to SB. I began the program last Sunday. I have PCOS (yep, I saw the support board for that too :-)
The information posted for this group is incredible! Debbie, your dedication is to be applauded!

I will likely be quiet to start with (work obligations and an online mgt class are zapping what little free time I seem to find right now) yet I expect to be in this for the long haul as this program is a way of life and I do not want to reach the stage of Type 2 Diabetes!

I'll do my bio before the weekend's over :-)

Smiles and Blessings,
Tammy

Hi Debelli!

First, thanks for the massive effort in organizing and updating this useful thread. I found the answer to my Basmati rice question. And now I can splurge *infrequently* with some french fires since I eat them with malt vinegar. Yum! It could be worse though, and I could prefer french fries Belgian style with garlic mayonaise-- but neither of these choices are legal for SB!

I was intrigued by the white sweet potato flour information, and wondered if natural food stores carried this item or if it can be obtained over the internet?

I am definitely getting some stevia and agave to try in recipes.

Thanks for all the hard work!

Emma

Just thought you'd like to know.

Trudy, are the fruit juice concentrates allowed on Sugar Busters...especially meaning foods that are sweetened with same? I've seen these quite often in the health food store. I know no sugar is allowed but how about other type of sweeteners...fruit juice concentrates, molasses, etc.?
