Following. I'd like to try them but I'd rather someone else first. Lol. I did try the black bean brownies. They were DISGUSTING. Threw them out and I never throw out food.

My primary used to be for low carb. Then I told her I was doing 40-60 carbs a day (usually more like 30-40 net). She's now totally against me doing it. She says she thought I was doing low carb not "no carb". She tells me at every visit I'm stressing my body and stressing it is dangerous and bad for my health. I don't…

Yeah. I'd say they are an acquired taste. Half an hour after eating them my mouth still tastes like sour cream and onion. I guess on the plus side they took like an hour to eat. So maybe a good tv snack?

Lol do they? I can see that...

On reflection, I think the cat flavor is the corn. My brain sometimes makes that connection. If I were a Home Ec teacher and grading the creation of a student, I'd give them a solid D. Maybe bumped to a C just for having only 3 net carbs. The aren't delicious, but they are definitely passable.

That sounds ....(high voice lingering note) "Ahhhhhhhhhhh!"

I do think she brings out two important details: 1. Ppl shouldn't load on fat for fat's sake 2. This diet (any diet) has a danger of obsessive types... um... rigidly obsessing.

Ingredients: (no cat urine)

My son wanted to add the dried herbs. lol. It's good tho!

Lunch today, @Sabine_Stroehm :) Just canned chicken, onion, mayo and hass avocado

I love celery. I can't wait to experiment with it! Thanks!

Mmm sounds good! What was your process for the potatoless salad? I need to dig out my ketostix too. They are a good motivator IMO. I've never cooked with celeriac but I'm game!

Pretty much that's been my experience, too. Except. Maybe my tastes are changing but there are some gems I find that are low carb but that I actually like. Tortillas for example. I've tried the ...cream cheese pancakes, ....thin omelets, ....messy lettuce and then settled on the Carb Balance white tortillas (3 net carbs).…

Meh.

I just saw a post on Pinterest about this today. I'll track it down. You'd have to nix or sub the tortillas. http://www.closetcooking.com/2015/08/chicken-and-avocado-burritos.html?m=1 I'd imagine various types of chicken would suffice. Rotisserie, canned, grilled...

New England boiled dinner. :) although I do it on low and I don't use any water so it's braised and tender.

Ps. Ok ppl! What's your URLs?!

Exactly. Me too! And photos of stuff I make. I can't imagine all the recipes and ideas I'd have lost without it. We're also building a log cabin (one day!) so it's a great place to park ideas.

Put a roast in the crock pot eight hours ago. Nothing else but an onion and a Tbsp of Italian dressing. Added frozen broccoli to it an hour ago.

Ugh, that's a pain! I do hate the sponsored pins. I sure don't want to see carbs desserts while I'm looking for low carb pins! I've never had it crash tho. I'm on iPhone tho. I've "hidden" about a hundred companies tho, lol. So it's not as bad anymore.

I'm friends only I guess.

Interesting. I wonder what mine is? Not that it matters.

Thank you!

I think the word "cheating" is charged and triggers some ppl. Cheating to me doesn't mean some awful failure. It just means eating something with more carbs than I normally would. It's not a big deal to me to "cheat" occasionally. The bigger deal is to conform back to my self-set goals. I had a small mint ice cream…

I think they have to be friends with you tho. Just send a request.

I just texted hubby to pick up more chicken and avo. Lol.

I totally want this for dinner now. Lol.

I had to supplement for years. Finally off them. Yay. I find the best food for me are squashes and nuts - both of which I like and both low carb. My calcium levels are finally close to 9 on their own, too, so I'm thinking the normalization of the K is due to the calcium. D and magnesium also good at last! This is after wo…

I agree with this caution. Too much potassium can be pretty dangerous. My doc tests mine every three months tho due to other issues ;parathyroid stunned and calcium/potassium/magnesium work together so I'm being monitored till they start working again). I hadn't realized you can die from low calcium before all this…
