That sounds good............ I love the seasonings that Indian and Middle Eastern dishes contain. It is a flavor explosion.

Well, you shouldn't be doing No carb, unless you are going to do the caveman diet or ZerCarb (which is protein only eating).............. If you are incorporating nuts, seeds, veggies, fruit into your eating, then you are eating healthy carbs........ I would suggest counting carbs OR calories, but not both. You will drive…

That is GREAT!!! I love to crave fresh veggies and fruit.

I will never eat there. We have one locally and I was going to go there for my birthday on Friday. What do they do to a steak that makes it have 93 grams of carbs?????? That is what I count. Steak should be 0 carbs...................they must marinate it in pure sugar water or something.

I would not drink much of that stuff if it has Senna in it.............. It can make your bowels, colon and intestines dependent upon it, just like you can get addicted to laxatives. That is what Senna is. Drink regular Green Tea, it is good for weight loss and is filled with lots and lots of antioxidants

It wasn't you that I thought was bashing Atkins.....................There are many others here that are Atkins bashers............ The thing is, I don't feel deprived at all on Atkins..............I can have raw whipping cream, butter, cheese (the few i actually like), Fage total (not the 0 or 2% stuff).............. I am…

I get up between 1:30 and 1:45 to fix me and my hubby breakfast and also to pack his lunch. It is the least I can do for my honey bunny............... Friday is my birthday and Saturday is my 11th wedding anniversary. I am getting old. I have had steak every day since Sunday. I am losing very, very well eating big, fat…

Eat Protein.................... Breads, crackers, all fruits, all veggies, nuts, etc have natural sugars.......... If you eat anything that is processed, that is more added sugar..................

Change to all natural sea salt.................... It is much healthier and gives food a different taste...................Foods don't even get that bitter taste if you accidentally sprinkle too much.

I have 5 pair of Nike running shoes and 2 pair of Saucony running shoes.............. I am going to start out on the Elliptical machine first and foremost. That is what gets me going good!!!

I tend to agree that grains are not made for human consumption. Especially corn..............I mean come on, we don't digest it at all, it comes out the other end whole still!!!!! :laugh: :laugh: Here is a website that I have saved in my favorites regarding the paleo diet............. http://paleodiet.com/

I get mostly raw dairy from local sources around me. I also subscribe to a CSA, buy seasonal fruits and veggies from local farmers markets or my Neighborhood Coop. There is an Amish explosion happening in my small rural area of Southern Illinois and soon I will be able to get fresh chicken, turkey, duck, grass fed beef,…

I am going to be bouncing in and out due to being very busy at work and I am at a customers location................ Bad, Bad, Bad lunch today.................. I had to go to Wendy's and get a salad.......................that was ok. Ordered a Diet Coke and didn't think to taste it before I drove off from the drive…

Girl, the best thing to do is fight those cravings.............DO NOT give in to them. The whole purpose of induction is to detox from the sugary and sweet cravings............ Drink some water Go for a walk Chew a piece of sugar-less gum DO NOT GIVE IN TO THEM, it is important to get rid of the cravings, not nurse them…

Best detox is water with lemon wedges added......................lemon is great for cleansing the liver and kidneys........................... Also, Yogi teas make a good detox tea that tastes quite lovely. 4.99 for 16 bags. It helps to cleanse the liver and kidneys too..........

Actually I spend way less buying organic and raw from local farmers than I would spend at the grocery store................. I can get grass fed and free range meats, farm raised eggs and raw milk for way cheaper than I can purchase things from the grocery store................. Right now, I can get raspberries, blue…

\ Well, it gives it an oil slick, LOL..................But really, it adds a mild flavor to my black coffee and the fat keeps me full and satisfied until I feel like eating. Some mornings I don't feel like breakfast, so coconut oil gives me some calories and fat to keep me feeling good........... I can tell you that…

Well, my sources tell me the same thing I already feel...................The government (FDA and USDA) tell us stuff has to be pasteurized because of political motivations.........................

Um, no you wouldn't, LOL.................I used to have that same mind set, until I tried it by the recommendation of my Dr and I was proven wrong........................................ There is actually a topic about it now that someone is saying the EXACT same things I have been saying all along.............…

I have been telling people here the same thing.................. We eat the same way, but because I call my plan Atkins, I am bashed into the ground................ I eat coconut oil off the spoon, put it in my coffee, fry eggs in it.................

People don't believe me when I have been saying that fructose (fruit sugar) is processed by the body no differently than sucrose or any other type of sugar...................... People jump down my throat and such.................. Hmmmm, maybe there is something to what I am saying.

Great words to live by!!!

Don't feel bad, you are not the only one!!! I can't even walk in the house with my socks on and flip flops outside hurt my feet if I have to walk on rocks............

On the weekends, my hubby and I take our puppies to the lake and they have a 5 mile trail that we walk the dogs..................... They love being out in nature and it is good exercise for all 4 of us and we spend time as a family too. :love: :love:

Read this article about very low carb and diabetes...................... http://diabetes.about.com/od/nutrition/qt/locarbdiabetes.htm

Again, I grew up on raw dairy and my neighborhood coop says that raw dairy is healthier and safer than pasteurized dairy...................... I don't buy into the governement telling me something HAS to be pasteurized..................those farm eggs I eat taste 100000 times better than anything I can buy in a grocery…

This is pretty much the same thing that Dr. Atkins has been preaching for years, yet I get told everyday on this website how unhealthy I am eating....................... go figure The omnivore's dilemma is another low carb (controlled carb) eating plan.

Wow, we have a large group among us!!! I enjoyed a big cup of coffee with coconut oil for breakfast this morning. Was not hungry for food and the fat from the coconut oil helps to keep me full............... I enjoyed a cup of fage yogurt with a drop of stevia and a handful of organic, locally grown blueberries. I went and…

I make these all the time because they are easily portable and I eat them for breakfast on occasion when I can't have my sausage and eggs.

Coconut oil, wheat germ, flax, I forgot the other 2................
