Some of the physicians I work for tend to go for a benchmark between 120g-150g per day, but this depends greatly on how high the A1C readings come back with. My A1C began at 11.2 approximately one year ago, this September. For my situation, I was advised 120g per day, no more than 40g per meal if I ate three meals. Come…

I take the garlic-herb flatbread, toast it up a little in the oven. Let it cool... I make my own pizza crust, slice up some mozzarella medallions, finely chopped green pepper, garnish of red onion, thinly sliced cooked chicken breast and prosciutto - in to the oven it goes.... When it comes out, fresh basil chiffonade -…

BTW, Ive been doing EM2WL with an Atkins approach... I did my first weigh-in today, I lost 3lbs.. and Im eating roughly 1900-2100 calories per day.... 8-)

The key thing I want everyone to remember is this: MFP recognizes low-carbohydrate intakes - plain and simple. PCP's, Endocrinologists, Vascular Specialists, Podiatrists to name a few, prescribe it to patients with diabetes, peripheral vascular disease. Slowly, OBGYN's are coming 'on board' the low-carb train because of…

Actually, yes you can expect to lose weight if you are following a specific formula of your caloric intake. By eating below your BMR, there are some folks who just cant lose weight, in fact most gain weight as a result of eating below their BMR. The OP has already declared she is making wise choices food-wise and is…

OHHHHHH yeah!!!! We have a place out of Chichester, New Hampshire that sells wild game... https://secure1.jmazedesign.com/~bison/order_form.php?cat_id=60 Their main list would be here: https://secure1.jmazedesign.com/~bison/products.htm

Are you kidding? Seriously, are you kidding? 8lbs gone in three weeks and you maintained for two - and you arent happy? That is an average 1.6lbs lost each week if you do the math. Again, are you serious? You lost 2 inches off the hips and another 1/2 inch from the thighs... Why the bloody hell are you not excited about…

Your original post fails to address any specific group therefore you are generalizing everyone. It would be beneficial if you considered that fact... you made no exceptions whatsoever in your original post. Its downright rude...

First things first.. you dont need to be nasty about it. Secondly, there are many people who have serious medical problems that warrant the elimination of those types of foods. I have patients who have such issues who use MFP for tracking under the physician's advice. Then you have people who come out and admit that they…

If its not time to purchase the bulk meats, I typically spend $75.00-$100.00 every two weeks for fresh produce, cheeses, cream for coffee and a few treats for my husband...

One of the things that I believe (IMHO) is the most important to focus on is making sure you do the following: 1.) Get a good variety in on a daily basis 2.) If you dont trust yourself eye-balling things, then measure until you are comfortable 3.) Keep well hydrated with plenty of water 4.) Most important: if you are not…

To the OP and Caraiselite: I work with 300+ physicians in my line of work, ranging in a multitude of medical capacities... low carb intakes are ALWAYS recommended to their patients... and our team of Registered Dieticians all work with the same patients who are under that advisement. CLEARLY its an accepted practice of…

You pose a significant misconception: quality meats is not always expensive. Going to a local farm and purchasing direct is very cost-effective and it keeps our local farmers in business. Local produce farms are another great way to pick your own produce or purchase from their stands - again, keeps the local farmers in…

Not entirely true either

heheheheh that is a dessert I make for my husband and he loves it.... Apple-Bacon Tart Fine.. I make a fig chutney with freshly cooked maple bacon. It gets smeared on a homemade pie crust dough. Slice up granny smith and golden delicious apples with a light dust of brown sugar, layered on top of the smeared chutney. Bake…

When Im sick, I dont give a rat's *kitten* about food. I just make sure I stay well hydrated, I eat what I can eat, and if it means I could only hold down 700 calories because Im sick as a dog (chronic upper resp infection pt), so be it. Its usually a period of time when all I want is homemade chicken vegetable soup. And,…

From a healthcare perspective, unless the GI surgeon is performing a cleansing for medical purposes, you really arent meant to mess with your intestinal tract doing a cleanse... Flush out your system naturally with water, like Dan suggested.

Im a no potatoes, rice, pasta, corn, flour or bread person. I get extremely sick... I just recently did a test for the Endo.... I was asked to consume some sort of food that had bread, because we wanted to draw my blood the next morning to check for an inflammatory process. Well, it was difficult considering I have been…

Eggplant... a devoted lover of eggplant. Roasted with whole cloves of garlic, olive oil and onion for added sweetness. Thinly sliced, purged/rinsed and used as a replacement for Lasagna noodles for Lasagna night. Roasted with other vegetables such as zucchini, pattypan squash, onions, roma tomatoes, green and yellow bell…

OHHH I meant to add this... I make alot of compound butter at home. Im probably one of the very few who purchases butter in bulk, simply for that purpose. I make a Maple-Bacon/brown sugar compound butter. Some of the bacon fat goes in with the butter, the real maple syrup, a light dusting of brown sugar, and finely chopped…

Exactly.... with a proper balance of foods, and you get really good at making sure the variety is consistent, how soon you get hungry shouldnt be over-active to the point you need to eat every three hours (or any pattern). If you feel the need to eat every three hours, well, it might be an indicator of someone not getting…

If you dont want to be eating a couple hours before bed, then you need to re-evaluate your daily intake and determine how you could be better at meal planning. I find that if you are dedicated to eating only real, whole, fresh foods (no junk, no artificial garbage, no prepackaged processed convenience foods, etc), and are…

I cook my Sunday omelets in bacon fat. It creates a much more dense but fluffy texture to the omelet and it 'holds' up very well.
-
That is not necessarily true, each person's hunger pangs dont come like clock-work so there are no rules as far as "you need to eat every three hours"...

Thats basically what Im saying.... 8-)

"Exotic" to me would be the authentic Asian dishes Im normally accustomed to preparing/consuming (foods that no non-asian would even dare try)... A good website that touches just about every country and has user-friendly ingredients would be http://www.recipesource.com

I type over 105WPM, t'wernt nuttin! LOL! I am aware of that however, these are great resources to consider when you are out and about. Unfortunately "Simple" isnt really a word with anything 'low carb' to be honest. There will be food prep involved unless you have the money to purchase everything…

CKS.... I just sent you a private message.... 8-)
