OHHHHHHH I thought she meant the pasta at the store that is made with tomato, spinach... I didnt realize she meant REPLACING with vegetables.. Oh hell... spaghetti squash, zucchini, summer squash, eggplant, even beets.. BRING IT ON!!!

Nope.... Those boxes I ran into ( I think it was either Prince or Barilla - I cant remember the name)... however, the total carb count was 41g.... even if you took the fiber out, its still too high of a carb-count. Im not allowed more than 40g per meal, so I just got rid of all pasta to begin with and use other healthier…

no... lets clarify it truthfully... They have the mini tootsie rolls - but no one makes you take them First Monday of the month, they serve free pizza to their members - but no one makes you take them The following Tuesday next week, in the morning, they serve free bagels and coffee - but no one makes you take them. You…

The Wonder Years

For some reason my grease-monkey/truck-driving neanderthal husband seems to think Thanksgiving is 365 days per year! LOL!

It can be quite addictive! It makes a mean meal, a hearty marinara or a highly concentrated/full flavored stock!

The main component: capsaicin does give you that 'full' feeling but its more of the body's response to the natural chemical.... We have seen people in our ER who thought they could do a habanero on an empty stomach and they damn near passed out from the pain.... idiots!!!! Personally speaking, I love a good hot and spicy…

Unless you have a medical issue and your body is producing too much testosterone or you are secretly a man hiding in a woman's body, you are not going to bulk up. Just keep doing what you are doing.

Gotta have a little patience - people are still trying to get to work, or just dropping off the kids at school with the time you posted... First things first: how old are you, how tall are you, how frequently active are you in the gym? If you can answer that part first... thats helpful. Secondly: what is your daily caloric…

Nahhhhh.... its not done every weekend... meats are broken down quarterly. Soups, stocks and marinaras are probably done every month, give or take depending on my husband grabbing from the freezer. I enjoy my time in the kitchen - I wont let my work schedule, my music practices or my gym time get in the way of always…

Breakfast: Designer Whey Strawberry Protein smoothie with frozen raspberries Mid morning: three hard boiled eggs Lunch: Bratwurst cooked in beer and onions, with grainy mustard, served over garlic-buttery cabbage and carrots Mid Afternoon: homemade Southwest Chicken vegetable soup using fresh-smoked hickory chicken from…

When my daughter was home and we were transporting her to and from school where we lived out of district, I worked 50+ hours, on top of two music practices per week (2hrs each - my practices), the gym at 4:45am, and my commute to and from work was 45 minutes each day total - I did bulk cooking on either Saturday or Sunday.…

Its actually not that hard to do and you can still get one heck of a variety in as well... It just requires good planning on your part, modify a few recipes here and there, etc... Ive been doing this for about 18 months now... it took a couple weeks in the beginning, but after that, its smooth sailing! 8-)

This isnt really a hard thing at all if you think outside of the box. Take whatever leftovers you have from the previous night's dinner, and come up with an alternative for lunch. Yesterday, I smoked up a pork butt with a variety of spices (almost a 10lb porkbutt)... I took the half that is remaining and into the pot it…

Rather than suggest recipes only because my definition of simple will definitely be alot different than yours... consider…

Weekends are my bulk prep food days using only fresh foods, herbs and spices. I make homemade marinara, a batch of salsa, chimichurri and homemade dressings. I purchase meats in bulk on a quarterly basis on average. . Boneless skinless chicken breasts - 50lb case Beef Flap meat 40lb - case Whole pork tenderloin - 35lb -…

Labor Day: B: Deviled eggs (3 whole)... damnit they hit the spot! LOL! L: Fresh tomato-garden vegetable soup w/Tequila-lime smoked chicken breast D: Beer-brats with a sautee of cabbage, carrots and butter... grainy mustard on the side for dipping.

I laughed in my mother's face when she recommended Dreamfields to me. Couldnt help myself but laugh. And, Im not talking about the price either - that nutrition label completely and totally contradicts the whole concept of low-carbohydrate.

Bourbon for the meat... and bourbon for me.... Julia-Child style! LOL!

Saturday 9/1/12 (WOW, September already..ugh!) Chicken tenderloins sauteed with onion, garlic, oregano, sea salt and black pepper Spiral cut zucchini and summer squash, fresh spinach and served with a fresh-made tomato-pesto sauce... shredded parmesan on top.... mmmmmmmmm

Ive already made up a batch of ancho, arbol and pasilla peppers all nice and dry-roasted. Looking forward to grinding them up here in the next few minutes. Been taking a few minute breaks here and there composing the rubs, pastes and marinades..... and then will clean up the meats... found a brisket that was GORGEOUS -…

You could easily work with that charcoal grill for smoking purposes..... hint hint, nudge nudge, wink wink.... Matter of fact, Alton Brown did an awesome Good Eats episode on how it could be done.... 8-) ummmmmm Yes.. the biggest bottle of Patron Silver Tequila - with about a lb of limes, please? LOL

Beets are never given the justice they deserve. There is nothing more pleasant-tasting and crunchy than a good raw beet. Right from the garden, washed well, cut off the ends and into the fridge to get nice and cold. I love them either diced up or thrown in my spiral slicer to make "noodles" out of them for an imaginative…

Juicing is probably not the most healthiest thing to do... when you eat foods in its whole-form. A stick of carrot contains the necessary fiber and more nutrients - and the body reaps the benefits of absorption much better because it has to work hard at digesting it. If you juice that carrot, you are robbing yourself of…

Nothing to be sorry about. Half the battle with this is when the experts discuss it with me, they know I understand their lingo - they dont have to dummy it down (which to be honest, it can be difficult sometimes for specialists - it can get complicated) . Im someone they call on other patients for when problems arise with…

I never accused you of debating anything (??????) there was nothing in my post that specifically stated "you are wrong" nor anything stating "you are debating!!!" - just simply stating the true facts that the Glycemic Index, a study which has an extremely large database of hard science is backed by many reputable medical…

Here is a viable reference link: http://www.glycemicindex.com/about.php This is an area of medicine that is sound science and one that is backed by not just the American Medical Association, but also American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists, WHO, FAO, American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, and based out of Human…

This is by far the best, sound advice. Kudos though to the Gym associate who gave you the heads up... I highly doubt someone with a mental disability would be left unsupervised in that type of environment... I dont buy that for one moment this stalker has that issue. Personally speaking, Im too outspoken (but know that if…

Vim... unfortunately for me, Ive become part of a new potential study for the Endo that is treating me. They still cant figure out what name to put on my metabolic disorder that puts my pancreas into overdrive. She had stated that my past medical history, she is very surprised my pancreas didnt shut down completely.... was…
