somewhere in thyme asked {last february – yikes!},

“Jane, I read your diet and have a ?, you never mention any dairy products, do you just not eat them?”

***

i definitely eat diary products. milk and other dairy products have a certain amount of lactose (milk sugar}, but they are a very important part of a diet. especially for women and having strong bones as we age. lactose is a good-carb, you want to include one or two small servings in your daily carbohydrate count. i keep them in moderation.

{this reader question is from last march!!! so sorry about the delay!!!}

hi, i’ve just recently come across your delightful blog and well today i noticed your diet, so i’m wondering if you could give me advice?

i’ve dieted in the past and usually just do the fruit, veggies, yogurt, special k thing. well my mom bought me a low carb book much like atkins. it’s hard because its totally opposite of what i’ve been doing! no milk, fruits, yogurt, cereal. i get six servings of carbs & 15 grams of sugar… this book is telling me to eat cheese, mayo, sausage, ect. things i’m not use to eating when trying to lose weight!
