I agree with Kim, its all a mater of choice. I'm like you Jane, I need flavor and variety in my diet or I get seriously BORED! I do however keep my carbs at 20 - 25.
I try to stay away from the bars and lc sweets because they tend to give me cravings like b/4 I was on Atkins, I am like a raving bull when I eat that stuff.
I think its kinda fun being able to introduce new things to the diet SLOWLY!!!
