Thank you guys.
Grav, you've mentioned the insulin levels? Is that something that did not show in your regular blood work? What does the insulin level tell you?
Jay100, I will check those books out for sure. I'll try and post some of my daily food intake, so perhaps some of you more experienced low carbers can let me know if I'm doing anything wrong. And, to answer your question, I have a full time desk job and I also work part time as a chef for the last 12 years. It helps paying for my kids education and hockey :-)

Thank you again for your replies, it feels good to have someone to talk to about these issues.
