Are you a Purist, a Dilletante, or a Hedonist?

I would say I fall somewhere between dilletante and hedonist. I don't eat the junk carbs, but I DO love my dairy products.

How do you spend your carb allowance? And where do you fall on the spectrum?

Mostly Dilettante, because of the cost I can't always buy natural meats and organic fruits and vegetables, but I do include them when I can. I spend my carb allowance on veggies, cream, eggs, berries (l love berries) and nuts.

Honestly, I had to go back and look in my book to answer this question. Funny thing, when I picked it up I couldn't put it down again. PPLP is such a great book.

It is a great book! We are hit or miss on organic/natural foods, but we live rurally and do have some interesting choices (a lot of Amish in our area - raw dairy and natural meats abound, but need to buy in bulk).

And I see I misspelled dilettante.

Gah! I can't fix it either.
