Her hubby is T2. I suspect as time went by, they both realized taking
out the sugar wasn't enough. I'm glad to see things have changed.

I was going to say her books should be readily available here because
she's Canadian, but *none* of her LC books are listed at
chapters.indigo.ca. Her first 2 books were published by McMillan Canada,
I see now she uses Eureka Publishing out of Montana, so I'd bet the
gov't was messing around in there somewhere because our gov't is *very*
anti-LC.

Our gov't. has consistently quashed any effort to introduce low carb to
the Canadian population in recent years. F'n sucks, IMO.
