Elizlea and Tazzie--
Might I suggest a thread where you will find a bunch of Schwarzbeiners who have found a more workable way? It's called Fat's Where It's At and BawdyWench, JandL'sMom and others give their insight. I've found it enormously helpful and it's helped me get out of this too-high carb quandry with Schwarzbein. Eating much more meat and fat cleared away alot of the deadwood for me.
BTW, I con't understand why this here thread never comes up in my inbox. I have to hunt around to re-find this 'neighborhood'.
