You can also use the index to look up almost every food we eat and get tge same info for what you eat at home. I keep one at home and another in my car for eating out.

I have the software, which is a terrific tool that helps me a lot. Don't own the book tho. Guess I ought to have it in the glove box. Nothing impresses the ladies more than pulling over and figuring out what I can eat, on a first date <g>

I noticed that Papa Murphy's is on there, which is a "take and bake" place, so tomorrow I think I may give one of their thin crusts a try. It used to be a favorite place when my kids lived with me. I bet I could get at least one or two of them to come visit, if I promised them pizza!

Shoot, I may even have a diet soda, just this once. Not sure I can eat pizza with a dr. pepper. Water just doesn't do the job.

On the other hand, if I get started in that direction, it might be hard to get back on track. This is what almost happened at halloween. I was helping a friend, and his wife kept insisting that a mini milky way wouldn't hurt me, and she is right. The "hurt" would be like an alcoholic taking just one drink, and then trying to stop. I quit candy and junk food absolutely cold after a lifetime of 'anytime I wanted" so I am not sure what will happen if I fall off the wagon for just a tiny taste.

Guess I may find out and will let everyone know <shrug>

Thanks Richard. Didn't know there was a book I could carry with me.

I'm glad they aired the episode, although not being much of a TV person I didn't see it.
I erred a bit when I said my nephew had to go hungry the rest of the day, but there were "exchanges" he had to comply with, and if he ate something, it was worth so many exchanges, thus if he got any candy at all it meant he had to take all the starchy things out of his diet and other carbs, so that he did "go hungry" even if he was taking insulin. I think my sister-in-law did not want any sugar building up so she leaned to the low carb side and risked insulin reactions. I know it was very hard to judge the insulin level needed, because since he was a kid, his level of exercise might vary greatly. Even now, he won't take juice and very many starches, although raw fruits are okay. Milk was something he drank, but it was whole milk from the cow, not store bought. These were our farming years.
