Prisoner of Carbohydrates
By Karen Sessions

I more than understand the carbohydrate roller coaster that many of you may be experiencing. You hear that in order to achieve successful weight loss you should cut carbohydrates. Also, some readings suggest limiting carbohydrates while others say to eat more carbohydrates! Does the carbohydrate mystery have you completely confused?

You will be amazed to learn that you can eat carbohydrates and still achieve desired weight loss. Before you can convince carbohydrates to work in your favor, you need to understand their position, so I will recap lightly on their functioning role.

A teenage girl with a peanut allergy died after kissing her boyfriend, who had just eaten a peanut butter snack.

Christina Desforges died in a Quebec hospital Wednesday after doctors were unable to treat her allergic reaction to the kiss the previous weekend.

Desforges, who lived in Saguenay, about 155 miles north of Quebec City, was almost immediately given a shot
of adrenaline, but it was not enough to save her life.

Peanut allergies cause 50 to 100 deaths in US every year. Over one and a half Americans are severly allergic to peanuts.
