OMG I just choked on my diet soda... :laugh:

using it instead of noodles for spaghetti & meatballs worked too. :)

I also use cauliflower in many recipes to substitute. I use it in place of noodles for Beef Stroganoff... I blend well drained boiled cauli w/sour cream & butter as mashed potato sub... (super nummy & can't tell the difference!)

If you experience shin splints STOP whatever you are doing to aggravate it. :sad: You need to strengthen those teeny muscles. Some things to try: -point your toes under your desk and trace out the alphabet with each foot 3 times. (hurts don't it?) -lift your foot to the beat of songs under your desk. (feel that little…

Indeed... I wear a minimizer bra & a sports bra made for my big girls. :laugh:

Count it! no questions on it... :happy:

Street meat? Ooooh good question... that may be hard :huh:

Indeed! I do the same thing, buying my crystal light & other sugar free packets in bulk at 99 cent only stores. :flowerforyou:

bumpin for later... :tongue:

The term "Low Carb" is relative. Someone's low carb number could be 25, another could be 50 or 70. (net grams sugar per day) In my case with trying to stay fairly low carb (20-30 a day) I avoid carrots. :) And instead go for celery w/ sugar free peanut butter or soft goat cheese on top. Or I nibble 1 oz of hard…

Here's something a little out of the ordinary... Belly Dance DVD's. I have one, and it works muscles that hide from most everything you can do in the gym. kinda fun too. :happy:

bump... because more people need to read all 4 phases. :D Thanks for the refresher course!

but honestly - what is the definition of eating normal? Not one single person can tell me that eating preservatives, refined sugars/flour and processed foods is eating normal.

I keep coming back to this thread for the chuckles. :laugh:

Best quote ever. I am a low carber... feel free to add me. I could always use more like minded friends. :D

I just found this group & this post... I did atkins once before, but this time... my night 3 into induction was a fullblown sugar panic attack! :) I had to laugh at myself, because I knew what it was... and haven't looked back. I am 3 weeks in, and have unofficially lost 11 pounds (my weigh in is in the morning) :) Glad to…

Hey, I am glad I just found this thread. I too am on Atkins for my eating lifestyle....(no diet here) :) And I hope to add you all. It is great to peek at other low carbers for food ideas & support. Cheers! Dahna

Beautifully put! I saved your info, for when I hit a plateau. Thanks!

Off topic, but ohmygoodness your ticker is too darned cute! :laugh:

Yippee! Thanks for the great low carb option...:love:

Great to see others needing a low carb approach. :) I tend to fall into a rut with my recipes, so being able to share with others will help stave off the boredoms. Thanks! Dahna

Ooooh thank you! I can't wait to try this. It looks like it could fit my low carb diet. :love:

Same here.. I have Hashimoto, was originally diagnosed at age 11. I too would be interested in anything people have to say about losing weight with this. Question, are you on synthroid? Dahna :)

It's ok... just remember to forgive yourself and start a new day. :)
