Colin, I'm glad you pointed this out because I eat a lot of olive oil
and I didn't realize it was as high as 14 per cent. But I know what
you're saying about the carbs being the culprit is true. I also took
to heart what you said about sweetener the other day, that the body
can't distinguish and the addiction is prolonged. I am virtually
addicted to sweetener - I put it on/in everything - so I've started
cutting down and aim to stop it completely. I use one that doesn't
have aspartame in it, but even so, I think you're right about the
brain not being able to tell one kind of sweetness from another.

if one eats a diet that islow in carbs, the only thing to really
watch and not just for fatties but for skinnnies too, everyhting
else will fall into place. You fat itake will reduce naturally with
having to use lean meats which lose the flavour, without doing
without butter etc. With the CARBS(see I can spell it!), fat becomes
benign as well as it's intake being elssened.
