very expensive lol there the extra special ones Will probabily taste weird knowing my look

Probabily daft but I just want to double check Ive got a 340g pack of asda 12 pork sausages It says carbs per 100g grilled 0.6g so does that mean the whole pack on sauages has just over 2g of carbs in for the lot grilled?

A daft Q but if I drank diet pepsi then tested my wee an hor later and was still in kaytosis would this mean it doesnt effect me or would I need to test later? how would I tell?

Sukie; -1 lbs Sarah -6lbs :eek: Woofy sts TT -0lbs Rela: -1lb IslandBreeze - zilch :( Allie STS
