Thank you very much for your replies. I really appreciate it. I do, however, have a question. When you say to reduce my carb intake, I look at the total amount I usually have (149g/day) and wonder if it's healthy to take it any lower. It would be about as "bad" as the Adkin's Diet. Is that what you would suggest? Is Ketosis the goal? As for the fat intake, would it be best if I substitute flax seed oil and omega 3 oils for the things like Peanut Butter and cheese?....and when you say to drop the dairy, please tell me what the benefits of doing that. I'm not too familiar with the effects of dairy and milk products.
Thanks again for your help.
