I was right.  The dietician wants me to limit my carbs.  The interesting thing though, is that she wants me to limit myself to 2-3 carb choices per meal and not worry how many I'm getting overall.  She said that if you eat more than 3 per meal, the pancreas pumps tons of insulin which starts a bunch of other things happening which causes hunger and weight gain.  You can see by my very technical description that I paid close attention.  Whoops!  I'm not sure how it all works,  but it made sense when she told me. 
     So, I guess 2 cups of spaghetti at dinner is out now.  One third of a cup of noodles is one carb choice.  One third of a cup?  LOL.
