Thanks for your post yesterday Lizzie, it really has inspired me (and my husband) to cut out - or at least reduce - carbs and sugar. I'm full of aches and pains, I do have osteoarthritis in my hip but ache pretty much all over, my beloved walking is now something I almost dread. Your post just hit me as I know me and my hubby eat to many stodgy, high carb foods. I've also become pretty addicted to chocolate since giving up alcohol. I'm going to spend this weekend researching low carb ideas but thanks again.
