The ginger lemongrass meatballs on Mark's Daily Apple are awesome. Serve them with a little thai curry sauce - Yum!

We're moving from upstate NY to Sarasota FL. Not planning to move until then end of the year, but we are in the process of selling our house, then will move in with my father to save money... but I definately feel way better when I am eating low carb. I ate some carbs over the weekend, because I was doing the tough mudder…

Not sure, but I think almond and coconut milks are okay but soy is a big no-no. I'm primal, so can have dairy in moderation... so I may not be the best source of info here.

I'll add you! I am doing more primal - 50-100g of carbs/day, mostly from veggies and nuts. No processed stuff. I am probably about 70% primal, 30% not right now, and that's okay for me at this stage in my life... selling our house, and getting ready to move cross country is not the ideal time to completely revamp my…

Have you been to Mark's Daily Apple? There's pretty good resources for grocery lists, meal ideas, etc. on there. I too work nights, so I know all about breakfast being dinner, and vice versa... I try not to eat when I get home though. As far as primal, I am only doing about 50/50 right now, so I may not be the best…

I've been on nights for the past four years. I actually have the opposite problem from most: I do fantastic on work nights; only eating what I brought, and logging everything I eat... then that all goes down the drain on my days off! I feel like because I worked so hard for 2 or three 12 hour shifts in a row, I deserve…

Diet Plan: Not really following a plan, just trying to keep it between 40-50g of carbs/day. I am intrigued by the Primal blueprint, and may give that a try in the near…

Atkins shakes? Also, you can take grilled chicken, etc and freeze, then by the time you are ready to eat, should be defrosted but still cool... nuts are another great option, no refridgeror needed...

I love my 12 hour shifts! I only have to work three nights a week this way, and end up getting 4 days in a row off every other weekend. That does wreck havoc on my diet, though. I actually find that I am more disciplined on the days that I work, because I have to have a plan, or I end up going hours without eating! But on…

I am!! 12 hour nights too. Are you a nurse? I'm always on here in the middle of the night, it's nice to have someone to talk to at that time...:smooched: :smile:

I'd be interested in hearing other opinions on this, but I know my skin has been breaking out more than usual lately as well. My husband recently commented on it (something to the effect that I own alot of skincare products, but am still breaking out LOL) Of course, it has been super hot and humid where I live too...

When I am at 40-50g of net carbs, I am in ketosis. This is according to my urine test strips. I also tend to not feel hungry, and after the first day or two, I don't have any cravings or "keto-flu" symptoms to speak of. (On a side note: I do have dreams about eating large quantities of breads and sweets during these first…

I'd love to join too, I actually started on 4/30. Question for everybody who does it everyday though, how do you work through the soreness? Wednesday should have been Day 3 for me, but I was just too sore. Will do day 3 today, Thursday. I think I'm going to aim for 5 days/week anyway, since my work schedule makes working…

I've made the cauliflower one before (cauliflower, ricotta, eggs and seasonings). It was pretty good, but not at all crispy. Better if you're looking for a "fold in half" type of slice. I don't know what your carb goal is, but if it's relatively high* (I'm aiming for 50 or so per day) try the Flat-out wraps as a pizza…

-Boring, but I always get the caesar (no croutons) or bacon ranch salad at either McD's or BK. Once in awhile I'll splurge on a 3 piece tenders and share it with my DH. -A Taco Bell hard shell taco supreme is only 12g carbs, I believe. I wish we had Chick-fil-a here in NY. I would love some grilled tenders, or a "Protein"…

Just ate a yummy dinner, thought I'd share: I tried to recreate one of my favorite thai dishes, yellow curry noodles with chicken: I cooked a bag of the tofu shiritaki noodles as directed in the thread on the recipes forum (dry-frying), then took them out of the pan and sauteed a half cup of red pepper slices, and a…

I just ate some leftover stuffed cabbage (subbed oat bran for the rice, got it to 12g net carbs) for lunch. Dinner will be turkey chili, which is a little heavy on the carbs at 19g net. It's a recipe I made prior to going low carb, had some left in the freezer, so I'm eating it up. I made some subs to the recipe on MFP and…
