Exactly. Sugar is full of anti-nutrients and makes you fat. AVOID!

Only as long as it's diet coke with aspartame and not splenda. Aspartame has more letters in it and sounds fancy so it has to be good for you.

NaCl with a good squirt of Mio, eaten in a bowl like cereal..... soooooo good!

How fun! I've always wanted to swim with stingrays so I'm going to be a little jealous here for a moment lol. Did you go to stingray city in the Caymans? And great attitude about jumping right back on board..no worries about being low-carb perfect on your cruise as long as you just get back to it:)

I think I love you. And don't rag on boxed wine! No one has heard of the tour De franzia I take it :laugh: http://www.drinkiwiki.com/Tour_de_Franzia

Check out www.againstallgrain.com She has some bread recipes that I haven't tried yet, but people rave about! She uses nut and coconut flours. I've tried some of her non-bread recipes and she really knows her way around a grain-free kitchen

I make a pretty good broccoli cheese soup: 1-1 1/2tbsp oil 1/2 yellow or white onion (about med size) or 3 shallots, diced 1tsp of minced or chopped garlic (more or less to taste but this amount isn't too garlicky) 2 heads of fresh broccoli or 1bag frozen, chopped (stem and all) 1 box of chicken broth, or about 3cans 2cups…

200 something calories for 2 slices of pizza sounds good to me, as does the spaghetti with zucchini noodles. The average "regular" slice of pizza is 200+ calories A SLICE, and a whole plate full of spaghetti can easily run 400+ calories. I don't eat any of the carb quick stuff so I can't say anything about that, but I find…

I've never preheated my blender and haven't had a problem. If you want to skip blending, you'll have to shake the poop out of it in something else (like one of those bottles with the ball in it). I use the organic coffee from fresh & easy (like a whole foods but smaller). It's about $8/lb, but I usually buy it on sale for…

I second chia seeds! Pretty much all fiber and I've really grown to love my morning "chia seed shot" (1tbsp of chia seeds soaked in about 1/2-3/4 cup warm water or coffee) Turnip greens I believe are around 1g net per cup (~6g carb, 5gfiber), spinach is also pretty good on the fiber. My favorite is artichokes! Broccoli is…

I used to use it and buy it from netriton.com but the last couple times I looked they didn't have any, and I have a feeling it's a discontinued product. I use xantham gum now which truthfully, I find easier to use. I usually make gravies and sauces (I made awesome turkey gravy with it last night), but other people might…

Yes, baby kale works I made kale chips the first time last week and have had to make them twice more because hubs loves them so much! I tore the leaves of 2 bunches of kale into bite size (about 2 inch) pieces, washed and spun in a salad spinner. Put the kale in a bowl with about 1.5-2tbsp olive oil and massaged it into…

If you put the solids in the freezer, they should be fine easily a couple months just like regular butter when frozen (tightly sealed). But you can use it on veggies, in sweet potato mash, put some in your coffee, etc so if you're not doing a whole 30 or abstaining from dairy, they can be used up rather quickly on/in…

I have a full drawer of shiritaki noodles because I love them. As mentioned before: DRY FRY! I seriously rinse about 2min and then dry fry for at least 5min, sometimes close to 10, and it completely changes the texture. I've had them with marinara and yeah, they're slightly chewier than regular noodles, but they take on…

Clarified butter is when you take the milk solids out so you'd have to make your own butter, then melt it and remove the milk solids. So no. It'd be easier just to buy pre made butter and clarify it

Now that I look at the lunch Bots again, the dividers aren't removable. Who the heck made the removable ones I saw lol?! The search is back on

I've been looking for the same and lately I've been leaning towards Lunch Bots after seeing them on nomnompaleo Grr it posted before I could say why haha! I like how the lunch Bots have removable dividers so you can customize them to your meal, and how you can easily buy spare lids (I haven't easily found spare lid sets…

I stopped posting in this for a while and I shouldn't have stopped, so I'm back :) Breakfast: egg salad (eggs, mayo, spicy brown mustard, diced celery, diced pickle and dried dill) on celery sticks Lunch: roasted pork tenderloin with balsamic, olive oil and rosemary marinade. Broccoli with butter Dinner: leftover NY strip…

I've bought that and it's WONDERFUL! I like it cut into sticks and then fried and dipped into marinara sauce like a non-breaded mozzarella stick. The kind I bought wasn't overly salty, but other brands might be different. I haven't seen it in the store in months though so I don't remetmber what brand it was. It's a really…

Removing nuts from the induction period is as much about finding possible intolerances as it is limiting carbs. You may find that your body can't tolerate nuts, but in order to see how you react to them, you have to cut them out for a while. No one said you can't ever eat nuts again, just don't eat them right now. The…

I could never do 12-15net from veggies when I tried my hardest, so I always did the best I could (and since I'm starting induction again, I'm trying the best I can now). I like doing scrambles in the morning with some zucchini, bell peppers or broccoli scrambled into my eggs, and then I personally would eat less of the…

bacon nachos are GENIUS!

Eh, maybe I'm brave but a veggie based soup would probably keep up to 2 weeks. I had some bone broth I reboiled after about a week and a half and it was fine. I always smell things.. If it smells bad, it probably is

My local grocery store has a really great store brand lol, but I guess on a larger and more available scale, Twining has a good mint Green tea, Luzianne is good for a black (but not overly bitter.. Just good basic ice tea flavor) and Tazo now makes ice tea brew bags in black, green, passion tea and I think white tea. I was…

It's store brand from a small-ish store in the south west called Fresh and Easy. I don't think many states have them, but their store brand stuff is really great - - no fillers or weird chemicals, just meat and spices

I keep forgetting to take pics but I remembered today! Greek salad with salmon. The salad was pre made and I seared and poached the salmon and just added it. Yum!

That's fantastic! More proof we don't need grains to be healthy

I'm still suffering from nachos and pizza from football this weekend. It's a painful lesson why I can't and won't eat gluten anymore! The pizza was very good though...Just not worth it

^^^^^ the book is way better than the movie...gives more insight into the revolution and more detail beyond just running in the woods.

Are you going to have access to a microwave? You could always pre cook a scramble with eggs and veggies and heat it up, or just take along some hardboiled eggs and some meats you like cold (I love cold bacon and cold sausage for breakfast)
