I wanted to bring this up to the top since Jasmine was kind enough to post it when she was with us. She no longer has internet and she was a valuable member of the k pouch community as well as the site as a whole.

Just a little footnote to the list Holly,
If you dissociate you food groups you can eat a lot of the 'forbidden' foods without difficulty!
Just seperate the carbs from the protiens and keep the fruits isolated on their own ....works wonders.
