Question 2:
Who is the Doctor behind the South Beach Diet?

Dr Agatston

Jo (I'm in Ireland, can I join in?)

#2 - Dr Agatston

Did LisaShea vanish on us?

Jo

DarkGinger is right, but I'm afraid that I don't have permission from the Irish government to run sweepstakes to those citizens. Gambling internationally is a very sensitive issue and I need explicit permission before I can involve a citizen from a given country. So I'm afraid while I can give you a point, you won't be able to claim a prize.

I won't necessarily post a question every day, especially given recent weather events. Keep tuned for new questions!

Question 3:
Who is the creator of the Zone diet?

Dr. Barry Sears

Erm, let's make this complicated, shall we? (Sorry). Although I live in Ireland, I'm actually a UK citizen, not an Irish one. I have a UK postal address I can use, but I don't live at it. I hold a UK passport. I do not hold an Irish one. Does that make me eligible? (And is this gambling|? I thought it was a test of skill/knowledge, which is something else entirely. I don't gamble!).

Sorry to be a pain, but the answer will be useful for future reference.

Jo

Dr. Sears is right! One point for BellaAutism. DarkGinger - yes governments consider anything like this to be gambling and want to regulate it, mostly so that people are not taken advantage of. I do agree that it's important to keep things "fair" and if the government wants to do that, that's fine with me. It's the UK government caring about proper treatment of the UK citizens, so if you're a UK citizen, that is fine <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Which veggie has, ounce per ounce, as much calcium in it as milk?

Hi: Since I already have this cookbook, I won't enter your sweepstakes...just wanted to say that this is my favorite low carb cookbook. The recipes are awesome.

Collard greens are a GREAT source of calcium!!

Question 7:
How many carbs are in an average slice of pizza?

23

34

30

Hmmm I should've said NET carbs to be clear - it's around 16g net carbs. However janisko is correct that it's around 23g TOTAL carbs so I'll award the point there <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Question 8:
How many NET carbs in a banana?

12

Nope, not according to my charts. It's WAY more than 12 <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

according to your charts - 21.2 for bananas

I had used google for a response since I don't like bananas.

You trusted Google more than me??? Posh! <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
