Hey Spirtspell, im eating vegitarian right now, and i still get a lot of carbs in wheat sources. I know what you mean about the rice! but in china everything tastes better with rice :) I will do some research on the trigliserides for sure, i didnt know about that. I tried going to your wesbite but its down at the moment, maybe its my connection so I will try again in a little while. I write a blog too at benjaminbesw.blogspot.ca very much on the same lines. Im teaching english for a few months, and then am going home. SO far ive been here almost 2 years so im ready to see home and be there for a while. It will be nice. Mainly i teach kindergarten but i get around teaching different things from time to time, and with my private clients. Thanks for the supportive words, thats really very kind :)
