Ok, thanks!
I love new recipes. hehe 0 -
Was really good! I only had one, didn't want to overdo it! Definately doing that again!
Thanks for the update!
Haven't tried this since my first failed attempt. We even had burgers yesterday, but I wasn't craving bread. Glad to know this recipe works!
I altered it a tad, just added a tsp of splenda. I wasn't really craving bread, but sometimes wrapping my greasy burger in lettuce is an excercise in futility....might as well eat it with a knife and fork. So, it was good to have something sturdier to wrap it in, and it was delicious!0 -
Back to work today...and reality =(
Being at the office really gives me structure and keeps me from grazing. In a way, it is a relief to be back. Yesterday afternoon, I whipped up a batch up Cheesy Garlicky Roasted Cauliflower. I kind of tweaked a recipe I saw online. It came out really yummy.
1 head cauliflower (I had a large head)
1/4 cup lemon juice
Garlic powder
Olive oil
Salt and pepper
1/4 cup parmesan cheese
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Cut the cauliflower into florets. Arrange on a baking dish in a single layer. I used a 13x9 and it was really crowded, but it came out fine. Pour lemon juice over the cauliflower. Sprinkle garlic powder till your hearts delight. I use a lot. Drizzle EVOO over each piece. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake for 30 minutes at 400.
Remove from oven, sprinkle with Parm cheese and bake again for another 10 minutes. Come back to MFP and thank MommaToSam for sharing this awesome recipe with you lol! Makes 4 servings
What is EVOO? Recipes looks yummy!0 -

How about the chip aisle in the supermarket. Maybe it's a NYC thing, but they even sell pork rinds in the gas station convenience stores here.0 -
EVOO = Extra Virgin Olive Oil

They are in the snack aisles here in grocery and convenience stores. Look wherever potato chips are sold. They usually seem to be on the bottom shelf.I CANNOT FIND PORK RINDS ANYWHERE, it is making me crazy....guess it is time to order online, but I am nervous - what if I don't like them......
As for taste, they have a mild bacon (surprise!) flavor.0 -
jatcat- I get mine at the Dollar Tree where the crackers and cookies are and they are the Turkey Creek brand with only pork rind and salt as ingredients. They are an East Coast company.0

You should be able to find them at Walmart. Or try Asian or Mexican/Hispanic stores.0 -

That is the link for the MIM and you use 1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder instead of cinnamon.
Here is another version that is chocolate and spice: http://recipes.sparkpeople.com/recipe-detail.asp?recipe=153406

Please send her my way tonight! Lost 6lbs in my first week and have lost a pathetic 1lbs in the last three weeks. Starting to get very upset about this! Thinking of going back to induction to kick start it all.
Only upside is I HAVE lost two inches off my waist and an inch off my hips (probably through my upping my exercise), but, seriously, this isn't fair! Have been sticking to 1200 calories net once exercise is taken into account (I know, I know, I shouldn't be too worried about calories on low carb) and wonder whether this is right for me.
Perhaps I just need to be patient and wait for those scales to start moving again.0 -
Awww, Cumberland Farms. I grew up in CT and I have fond memories of that store. LOLThanks everyone...I look in every chip aisle in every store I go in...I live in Connecticut.

SHR7 - During the weekend of "Hurricane" Irene, I kind of had a disaster with my eating. Then it trickled into the rest of the week with an Oreo cookie here and there. After a few days of getting away with it, the number on the scale started to creep up. I panicked and decided to do something that I very rarely do - share my feelings with someone. I told my husband what happened and told him that I have this habit of sabotaging myself after a few weeks. He gave me a lot of support and motivation to keep it together and go full force. I've been strict for the past few days and the Whoosh Fairy came by finally and not only took away all the weight I had gained from the cheating, but a little more for a bonus! lol
Over the past month I've noticed that I tend to stall when:
-I eat more than 2 or 3 ounces of cheese per day
-I eat LESS than 3 cups of veggies per day
-I drink less than 50 ounces of water OR more than 100 ounces. I have to stay in between there
-I eat more than two low-carb desserts. Even when I have some carbs remaining for the day0 -

Me, too! If I don't get my carbs in the veggies, I tend to go overboard with the desserts---especially the peanut butter! I just noticed this morning, that what I've been measuring as a tablespoon is actually more than a tablespoon. Time to tighten up the ship 0 -

Ask yourself:
Are you drinking AT LEAST 64 oz of water a day?
Are you eating 3 cups of veggies (2 cups lettuce, 1 cup from the higher carb Induction list)
Are you excercising?
Are you eating too many nuts, foods with Splenda, or foods with sugar alcohols?
These are all things that tend to make me stall! So, when I see a plateau, I always have to go back and be strict again! Like, this morning, I discovered that my food measurements are getting a little larger In my world, 1 tsp = 1 tbs. Hee hee! 0 -

Thanks! I've seen that before, and thought it was a brand name product. LOL! I'm horrible with acronyms!0 -

You're in NYC? I wonder why you can't find pork rinds? I bought some at Wal-mart for 98 cents this weekend, for a large bag.0 -

Thanks everyone. Knew I could count on you to be my cheerleaders - and give me good advice!
Looking back at my diary I have been having cheese and Splenda (and couple of handfuls of nuts). Will try cutting back on those and see how I get on. Need to remind myself that just because something is low in carbs, it doesn't necessarily mean it is okay to have loads of it!0 -

You got this! Just make a few tweeks and adjustments here and there! Hang in there!0 -
Do you have a Wal-mart nearby? I know it's not the ideal place to shop, but they have a lot of inexpensive Atkins foods (I find flaxseed meal there for less than $3).0 -
I am not following a particular low carb plan... I just try to eat around 20 grams of carbs per day...this would technically mean I am in the induction phase of Atkins. As it stands I love how I feel and how much I can eat without gaining weight and even losing it. I am considering staying in this phase forever (I will introduce more veggies)... do you all think there might be a drawback to doing this? I will consider having refeeds if I absolutely must but I hate the way fruits, pastas and bread make me feel (always hungry and never statiated).
What do you all think? I personally think it's sustainable in the long run if I just up the number of calories I eat once I get to my goal weight.0
