Low Carb Christmas Presents?
Did anyone get any low carb related Christmas presents? I got one, and gave one. Hubs, who loves me, gave me a small case of pickle juice for work outs. YAY. I love pickle juice. I gave him "Always Delicious" because he's often stuck cooking for me (slow carb) and his family (some of whom are low carb). Recipes galore.…

Nori burritos or nori sandwiches
Has anyone tried making these? I make vegetarian sushi, so why not? http://blog.paleoonthego.com/nori-deli-sandwich-roll-ups/ Suggestions? ETA: I've made collard greens into wraps, and that worked really well. Just not always available to me.

Procrastinating (professionally): Visited the Atkins Website

There's a vegetarian menu, there's a plant heavy mediterranean like "pescatarian" menu-why I visited (Foodie) There's a roll your own There's a busy person's "pre-packaged" plan There's atkins 20, atkins 40 I must say,…

Ketotarian by Dr. Will Cole
You know me, I love books. Most recently I read Ketotarian. And, while it wasn't the best written book, it really spoke, no, it YELLED to me. It focuses on a "plant heavy" approach to a low carb lifestyle. The recipes are mostly plant based, with some optional "just add fish" recipes. I like to keep my carbs lower than the…

Bone broth...powder
I adore broth. I drink it instead of tea. I like bone broth less, but do drink it when I try fasting etc. It's hard to keep on hand. Hubs tends to cook with it. ha. So I ordered some bone broth powder. It's good. Just wondering anyone uses it, and if there's an easier way to mix it.…

South Africa
I've recently returned from a work trip to South Africa. I must say I was quite impressed (as a Slow carber) with my options there. Many restaurants we frequented offered "low carb bread" as a general menu offering (as well as gluten free, and often gluten free and low carb). One place even had "low GI" croutons listed…

May 25 2018 Phase 1 REBOOT
One of the things I've always appreciated about the ORIGINAL South Beach approach is the ability to just scale back to an earlier phase, and reboot, almost on automatic pilot. The last two weeks of school were challenging! I've decided to do a reboot again now. Starting today: two weeks of Phase 1 to get comfortably back…

"Smart Fat"
My thing is, I like reading, and discussing. I'm about to leave the country for a few weeks, but just started this to read on the way. This isn't an endorsement. I haven't read it. Thoughts? https://www.hoopladigital.com/title/11588161

Low Glycemic (like South Beach) folks:
As mod I've noticed a few South Beach (I'm assuming "old style") folks join our midst. Just wanted to do a shout out and welcome. I've been eating low glycemic for about 17 years now (more or less maintaining for 16.5 years, except for a little menodrift). Once in a while I wander lower carb, but my "normal" is low…

Books on (peri)menopause that you liked?
I thought I would start a thread where we discuss, specifically, the books and resources we've used and liked (or not). I'll start. The first one I read was Dr. John Lee's "What Your Doctor May not Tell you about Peri-Menopause" (and his menopause book). I learned a lot from it way back when, but do think he maybe over…
