Thank you, Laurie. I missed you too. On my way over here, I stopped by the 3 chicks homepage & looked at their blurb about the Sonoma Diet. Sounds good. I ordered the book. Will let you know how it seems when I get it. There are parts of the 3-hr diet that I will continue with, but I want to get rid of sugar & low GI carbs in my diet. I think I could combine both. Let's see.
