Plus I rarely eat 4 oz of blueberries at one sitting. While if I eat an apple, I'm gonna eat the whole apple. A big benefit of blueberries or raspberries is that you can easily buy them fresh frozen, and just add a few (5-10 is my norm it about an ounce) to a good to sweeten it. I will often do this with my plain Greek…

Your best carb option is not gonna be nonfat yogurt but fullfat yogurt. They take out the fat and have to add taste back with sugar. IMO FAT= Flavor in dairy including (but especially) cheese.

They have rows and rows of free food samples. I was just there last week. About 90% of them are carbs but they also have lots of cheese samples and various sausages or mustards, so that's what I focused on. Stayed on diet!

I agree whole heartedly. Of course fruit was never my Achilles heel. Chocolate is!

Bummer. It's skin minus the fat. https://baconsheir.com/pages/how-to-make-pork-rinds

I like the Nosh Night idea. Perfect for a planned movie night. I need to do that soon.

I don't have a mason jar but I do make a similar bfast. I call it Chia Porrige (just cause I like the word). I just stir it well in a Tupperware, and fridge overnight, but I've found its key to go back about fifteen minutes after making it and give it another good stir. It prevents clumps. Another plus: it keeps for days.…

Are they? That's actually really helpful. It's the skin thot that freaks me out!

I have a mental set that I'll only eat berries. Fortunately, I love berries. And right now strawberries are just about to come into season in our local farmers markets. Win!

And at least one of those is fiber.

Nope. We have the Vt Country Store, tho. Lol!

So awesome!!!

Man. I'm still trying to psych myself up to fry them in butter, coat with caramel and eat as cereal. I don't know if I'll ever get there. If only I could forget they are pork skin! #mentalblock

I sent hubby to two stores for this tonight when he went out to pick up our kids from their jobs. No where to be found. Bummer. They are really expensive online and I'm not buying a ten pack before tasting one.

Reason and moderation. My type of thinking! I'll admit I cringe when I hear of LCer eating oranges, but at the same time, it's their body, their rules. I have no idea of their circumstances. I certainly wouldn't throw anyone under a bus for it. Especially when you think of the millions eating 300 carbs a day and thinking…

I just checked. It's actually Erythitol.

One net carb is high to you? Ok. As far as sweetness that does worry me a little. My sweet tooth has significantly dulled. But I figured if worse comes to worse I can add some dark chocolate cocoa powder to the base to both cut the sweetness (which the reviews say it is) and up the chocolatey goodness! :)

Hmmm. Interesting. Never heard of it.

Grilled brauts with homemade coleslaw wrapped in a low carb whole wheat wrap.

Sorry never read that book. As far as motivation, defiantly this group and there are several great ones on Facebook too. Even if you don't eat the exact plan they eat, the camaraderie is useful. Lots of militants too tho. I tend to leave those groups or block those ppl, but some ppl like being kicked in the butt. Each to…

Seems like you've got a solid list to me. Powdered eggs tho... maybe protein powder you can mix with water later on the trail? Low carb shake of sorts?

Addendum: I decided last minute to put tonight's brauts with the coleslaw inside a low carb whole wheat tortilla. Yummy.

And my favorite hotdog taste-wise (Oscar Meyer Weiner) is not sold in either of the two grocery stores in town anymore?! I thought it was a fluke they were out but it's been like six months! Did they stop making them? I haven't had hot dogs since. I don't like the taste of the "all beef" ones they carry now.

I usually err on the side of counting too many not too few. I'm not gonna split hairs of where in the veg they come from and try to figure that out! Lol.

I'm good at this! I have a frozen shoulder so I look for super easy stuff. Hard boiled egg (or canned chicken or tuna) with mayo, an avocado and a quarter of an onion, mix all, serve in a bowl or low carb whole wheat tortilla. Halved hotdogs, broiled or grilled to bring out flavor, topped with pizza toppings, heated till…

When I go ultra low in carbs I find myself craving anything with any carbs! Suddenly healthy foods like green beans or cheese or spinach look very very attractive! I always found it interesting when I'd have a strong urge for a veggie I NEVER craved before, until I realized it was just a carb craving. I'm not super low…

http://joandsue.blogspot.ca/2012/08/cucumber-salad.html?m=1 I'll adapt it using full fat sour cream (yum) tho and sweetener.

Thanks! I think Ima try it on a cuke salad recipe I have, too. I'll see if I can find the link. I pinned it but sometimes the recipes disappear from the links. That's why I usually copy paste at least the ingredients on the pin.

I've heard it both ways. Some ppl say the receptors don't heal. Some ppl say they do. As far as time, I have no idea but it's been over two years for me so far and if I eat sugar it still climbs sky high fast. Maybe decades? Maybe never? Can't speak to the skin tags or dark patches as I have neither. Hubby does have skin…

lol. I know, right. I just smile and nod.
