Cheese messes with me also, I think it's because it's high in sodium.... I have tried to avoid it or use as little as possible.

[COLOR="Blue"]Oh, man! This looks good! I've never made the oopsies. This looks really good! It's really nasty here today so I don't want to go out to the store. But I will go out when it's nicer and get the cabbage, mushrooms and zukes![/COLOR]

And I agree, when I ate it daily (multiple cheese sticks a day) I stalled. Not sure if it was the culprit but I actually felt better when I stopped eating them so much. |

jenn and nadi -great pics-questions
great pictures, you make me hungry everyday! I was wondering what did you eat on induction and how long did you stay on induction? I'm on my 1st week and doing ok. Yesterday, I was questioning my sanity for starting this diet. (I really just wanted an oreo!) But I made it through! I guess just one day at a time, or more like one minute at a time. I guess any inspiration would help and I hope it's ok to post this here.
thanks Holly |

hollypr: Thank you!
When I eat induction I eat a lot of whole foods. I try to cook most everything myself and I avoid processed foods. When I have time I dig through the recipe room on LCF and other LC websites. I think when I keep variety in what I eat I don't feel so deprived for not being able to eat what everyone else does. Meat Beef - hamburger patties, brisket, meat stuff, etc. Chicken - baked/fried breasts, chicken salad, etc. Pork - baked/fried pork chops, shredded pork, pork roast, etc Veggies Salad with a little bit of dressing. I like romaine hearts because they are crunchy and I like the water in them. Broccoli, Squash, Cauliflower, Zucchini --- in all their glories. My favorite thing when getting off fast food is the Big Mac Salad... mmmmmmmm...

Question: How do you figure the carbs in a recipe...
A friend of mine made a recipe I'd made up 7 months ago but I never figured the carb count. She is raving over it and now I am craving it...but want to make sure it's not loaded with hidden carbs. We call it Looks Weird, Sounds Weird, tastes great! LOL Marinade Italian dressing, spicy brown mustard, ginger, garlic, soy.... Marinate sirloin blade steaks... Cooked over low heat like crock pot all day until they fall apart with a fork... Drain meat and add to skillet with sauce Sauce: 1 can cream of chicken soup, heavy splash of cream, and 1 cup sour cream... then add SMOKED PAPRIKA some pimento from a jar and black olives... Leftovers are even better! Help!

I get most of my carb counts from Acceptable Foods List and Eddie On Everything How Many Carbs Are In That … You'll have to look up the ingredients individually and tally them up. Let me know, that recipe sounds really good (aside from the olives ) |

Anyhow, when you want to figure out the carb count for a particular recipe, what you do is to add up how many carbs there are in the total amount of all the ingredients you're using, subtract any fiber, then divide the remainder by the number of servings. Remember that a lot of foods claiming "zero carbs per serving" may have up to 1/2 g carb in the labeled serving size and still legally claim zero, so using a site like nutritiondata.com or the USDA nutrition site can help you determine exact amounts for a recipe serving.

Wow I didn't know that about the 'cream of' soups...Maybe if I just made the sauce and put a little over the meat instead of throwing all the meat in the skillet ...I'd still get the sauce I crave but not so much. Kwim...
I'll have to buy a can of cream of soup to check the ingredients...I think a can is 12 oz... Knew there was a reason it tastes so good, it's not legal But man the smoked paprika is sooooo gooood...I'll have to work on a lower carb version |

It was a recipe that I found on I think page 17 of this thread....
JELLO FLUFF 1 small package sugar free jello, any flavor 4 ounces cream cheese, softened About 2 cups ice cubes In a medium bowl, dissolve the jello in 1 cup boiling water, stirring 3 minutes. Add 1 1/2-2 cups ice cubes and stir until the jello starts to thicken; about 3 minutes. Remove any unmelted ice. In a small bowl, beat the cream cheese with a mixer until smooth. Add a small amount of the jello (2 tablespoon or so) to the cream cheese. Beat until smooth and creamy. Add the cheese mixture to the rest of the jello; beat on high until foamy. Pour into servings dishes and chill until set. |
