Hi Olivia,
Actually, as I understand it, fresh fruits and veggies have plenty of carbohydrates for us -- and they also have loads of vitamins and minerals for us, too.
I know what you mean, too, about foods being hard to resist. My daughter's birthday party was this weekend, and we brought in pizza and had homemade double layer chocolate cake and ice cream. It was the pizza that I had the hardest time resisting -- and if I hadn't been on the apple diet, I might have caved in. But, feeling better and getting better really is worth it. It can be hard, though, to be stalwart about it when progress is slow or seems non-existent. Or it can be tempting just to cheat to see if there would be a reaction. But for me, that's like deliberately taking a step backward.
Best wishes!
Paula
