Thurs 27 Aug

Just saw an article that children who consumed a lot of dairy products in childhood seem to have a lower risk of heart disease and a longer lifespan. You guys should live to a ripe old age with all the milk, yogurt, and cheese you had when you were little!

I met with a dietician with a client this week, and when I had a chance, I asked her about the protein/veggie/limited carbs diet you explained to me. She also expressed some concern with limiting any food group (such as good carbs) too much. I know you are quite conscious of good nutrition, but please keep an eye on this diet that you are getting an adequate balance of all nutrients as well as enhanced protein and veggies (which is great!) I love you and want you to be healthy.

Good point about the carbs in veggies - I tend to forget that. I should have known you wouldn't partake of a diet that wasn't sound. Sorry.

Went to a Lia Sophia jewelry party at Mary Gaedtke's. Haven't done a ladies' party for a long time.

See, the great thing about vegetables is that they have carbs in them, so I *don't* have to eat bread and cereal to get carbohydrates.
