Also - two nights ago, I roasted up a 20+lb turkey.... made up a batch of southwest turkey salad, made a broth (have some next to me right now), and when I get home today, Ill be prepping to make my turkey vegetable soup!

Actually no, this isnt solely for dinner. .... I am very well known for cooking up big batches of turkey and chicken, and prepping vegetables so I can have a big salad in the morning after my workout.... The only time I eat actual breakfast-foods would probably be Sundays when I cook a big breakfast for my husband and I.…

High protein is not medically advised for patients who are predisposed with Kidney-related disorders/diseases, receiving dialysis or various medications for kidney function that require monitoring, or unless advised by their physician/specialist. The key to a low carb intake is that you must have a variety that also…

No one is arguing over costs - we all know its free when its employer provided. The flu shot vaccine is an attenuated serum. It contains ***only one strain***... a strain that changes constantly whether by season, by year, etc. For some of us, taking that shot gets us extremely sick - as many posts have stated. People who…

I haul out my spiral slicer to make "noodles" out of zucchini and summer squash. Pile it high on a plate nice and raw. Ladle on some homemade marinara, freshly cooked chicken, sauteed peppers, onions, mushrooms, melted cheese and roasted garlic cloves.... My husband LOVES this dish with his pasta. I dont eat pasta as this…

Josephs has a line of low-carb lavash bread that is perfect for rolling up for sandwiches and pinwheels. I make a gingered tuna spread using freshly grilled tuna (garlic, olive oil, soy sauce, pepper, fresh ginger, cream cheese), finely shredded lettuce, diced tomato, finely diced red onion, smear the tuna spread on, roll…

Im very well aware of that. I only spoke for the state I live in.

I run butternut squash through my spiral slicer to make oven-baked fries for my husband. Its a great natural thickener for soups and casseroles. Fresh made soup is always a good thing too!

Nope.... You cannot be fired legally for refusal to be vaccinated where I reside. If it was a requirement, it would legally have to be in writing upon filling out new-hire paperwork. People who work on the clinical side still have a choice if they want the vaccine. Ive worked in Healthcare for well over 15 years and am…

Now Hep B is a whole different situation. If you are working in Phlebotomy, Lab, Cardiac Care, Nephrology, GI (for liver), or any field of medicine where the liver is concerned, Hep B is vital. You dont get sick with a Hep B series as some experience with the Flu vaccination.

Its one thing if said pt/person is in the high risk category - I definitely understand that. But - if you have no history of having the flu, you make the right choices about your health, stay active, eat a healthy diet, stay well hydrated and seek medical care when needed and as needed, there should never be a push for…

I work in healthcare right now and they do their best to push you into having it. I have already advised Employee Health that under no certain terms will I ever have the flu shot. The first (and only) time I had the shot was about 8 years ago and I was dreadfully sick, stuck in bed for three days. Made our PCP aware of it…

We also have threads for recipe ideas and meal planning menus as well. They were left as "sticky" so people could easily find them.

OOPS... forgot to add: Today, I just cooked up a 20# whole turkey, four split chicken breasts, made a batch of some of my seasoning rubs, already pulled out the steaks tonight to thaw for tomorrow's dinner. Im about to get back to the kitchen and prep five-days worth of vegetables for salads and snacking. Will prep my…

Keep in mind - so long as the fats are coming from natural sources: real butter, olive oil, naturally occuring with meats, etc... its perfectly healthy and acceptable. The minute you start using low-fat-this/low-fat-that, you are willingly allowing chemicals, preservatives, hydrogenated oils into your daily intake - and…

Our Admin/Mod Laura_beau has a great thread if you are looking for suggestions: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/389874-wonder-products Feel free to peruse! 8-)

If you do decide to lower your intake, just make sure your physician is aware of what you would like to do where he/she had already advised you to consider 100g... Physicians/Specialists calculate the data based on your current health status (height, weight, age, current activity, medications taken, past history, current…

I failed to mention this because MFP sort of knocked out cold on me... We do stress that all are welcomed. We even have a few people who join our group because of the common negative die-hards that tend to flock against anything low-carb. Some people get down right nasty... or the decent threads like this one, I like to…

You have to be good about searching - we have plenty of UK folks there who talk about UK products.... 8-) Also - keep in mind, we wont keep it UK-only, its for everyone around the globe. Last I remember, we do have some folks who are living in South Africa, Scotland, and many who travel abroad for college or work. Its an…

I second this - no one is going to be able to give you an idea without physically weighing said-product and then comparing it to what Calorieking.com reports. Definitely need to get yourself a scale for accurate measurements that way you dont have to play guessing games like this... Good luck!

I help moderate a group called Low Carber Daily Forum here on MFP... click on GROUPS and type in that name in the search field and feel free to join our group if you would like to! We have a great group of low carb members and all varieties are welcomed! Whether Atkins, South Beach, Primal, Paleo, Doctor ordered or just…

Yup! Leave her alone. She has to find the OOMPH that pushes her to the very hard rock-bottom that everyone else gets to when they are fed up and are ready to begin. Leave her alone and let her 'fall'. Introduce her to MFP when she is ready. Your advice although, probably heart-felt, is definitely not going to be construed…

yummmmmmmmmm Masala is my FAVORITE!!!

If someone complimented me, I would be THRILLED - I would never be bothered by it at all. Why arent you allowing yourself the attention that you are getting that is positive? Or are you too comfortable with negative to the point that negative is the only 'normal' you know? Might want to rethink that for yourself before you…

awwwww come on guys - the thread was doing really well.... what matters is that everyone brought ideas and links to back up what they were posting.... let's not argue about trivial things please...

Just scored a HELL of a deal at the grocery store today! "Manager's Special" whole turkey, only .69 cents per pound! Ive got my oven heating up right now, I just purchased my mirepoix and fresh herbs... gonna be setting up the pot for the bones and herbal mirepoix when all the meat has been pulled... OHHHHHHH dont know if…

yup! I agree... none of his flipping business if he continues to be (what seems like) nasty to you about it. No one is "normal", there are not straight-across-the-board one-way only concepts. What one person does to lose weight may not work for the other person. Sounds to me there is alot more that is bothering him than…
