Hi there,

I'm Kathi and I'm new to the list.

I'm back on induction too, but when I need that little
pick me up at the end of the day, I go for a glass of
chardonay...I swear I didnt know it would rhyme until
I read it.

From what I've read, it has something like 0.6 carbs
per glass vs. red wine which has 2.5
