    I was just going to say what a few other folks have said, some people, like me, simply cannot step down slowly and reasonably in carbs. I could not stop the cravings without dropping my carbs low cold turkey. I just wanted to offer this perspective in case you encounter this when you start cutting out/down on fruits and such. it is a perspective that might help if you or your spouse have problems breaking your carb addictions.

    Good luck!

    But for you, I would concentrate on the now, not worrying about the future.

    I also want to agree with WAB, 100 grams of protein a day would be ideal, unless your are a body builder, triathlon athlete, etc. In other words, the macro thing is just a way to look how you're doing in general. Sooner or later you'll see this:

    Limit your carbs to a set amount, like 40 grams @ day max
    Protein is a goal to reach: 100 grams a day
    Fat until your are satiated

    That actually is a better way than macros.

    I LOVE that top line. I may have to tattoo it on my arm so I can see it and remind myself of it in case I get too overwhelmed with the details.

    Thanks for the advice on the macros! Sounds like a very reasonable plan!

    I've been toying with the quote

    " See this, it's the start of Retinopathy
    it won't get better
    But
    it doesn't have to get worse."
