Yes, that diet was terrible if you don't eat like that every day. I would rack my brain trying to make tasty things for hubby. I ate the diet right with him, as I didn't want to make two things. I baked bread the old fashioned way, but since hubby also is diabetic and has to watch his fats, starches, etc. it was hard to do. Thank god that you could have unsalted Fleishman's margarine, as we couldn't get Mother's brand here.
