miles, I love pasta and wholemeal/country loaf bread from the local bread shop but even with these I try to have as little as possible. I mean you've got to have one or two things you like in life, don't you? I read the GI of every packet or can I buy -eat mostly vegies and fruit, I have the GI book... I'm beginning to think I'd rather enter some nut house than live like this! I think I'm going to beat my GP up on Monday. Call him a chemofascist or some such thing.
