Me too! A dear friend--bona fide sugarholic--has recently decided to give LC a fair trial. I fixed her up with Atkins and Taubes, and she accepted me as her coach. Normally, I wouldn't do this, because Coach quickly devolves into Devil. "Friends" start to avoid you.

The hardest part? Unlearning all she ever knew--and paid dearly to learn-- about eating, as she tentatively reaches for the mayo and the butter and the cream cheese at the grocery store. Not to mention the bacon and the Big Red Meat.

What?? No Wheat Thins? No popcorn? No GRAPES??

Sigh.
