Doesn't the Shrimp and Spinach Salad have Almonds in it? I always have to have those removed.

Congrats on the 3 lbs down too!! I'm with ya on the coffee. But, I've always tolerated it quite well...I was reading in the True You Diet book that the Hunter/Gatherer can tolerate coffee well and that is what I am and very similar diet to the Atkins. Interesting.

It does: the description is listed below:

Grilled Shrimp 'n Spinach Salad an irresistible mix of tender spinach, fresh diced tomatoes, bacon pieces, roasted red peppers, red onions, toasted sliced almonds and hot bacon vinaigrette, topped with succulent grilled shrimp

Serving Size: 1; Calories: 273, Total Fat: 22g, Carbs: 5.5g, Protein: 11g

These are the nutrition facts (at least according to various websites I saw)

baconlovr · 08-28-2009, 05:02 PM

That's what I thought, since nuts aren't allowed on Induction, you would have to asked for "no almonds"...just a reminder

I will get some clear tequila (good kind is best,Im a sucker for patron)...pour in a small tumbler over Ice and squeeze the juice from 2 slices of lime add a pinch of splenda to slightly sweeten it.. It tastes good to me. I think that is what I will have when I go out.

like peachie said.....It will prob stall me for a few days but, i think i will since I dont get to enjoy going out often and I could use a lil kicker! lol.....

mmmm.... Patron!! I miss you ssoooo...

Malibu has 10 carbs per ounce, and I have only had a steak and some spicey pork rinds today.. I have to be up early tomorrow to help at a pancake breakfast for football.. they are having sausage and eggs too, so I am set if I eat there...

sourpeach · 08-29-2009, 07:49 AM

Redgrldj · 08-29-2009, 03:01 PM

I am so worn out.. Not sure I even have the energy to eat right now LOL.. Was at the high school at 6:30 am to help set up for the pancake breakfast fundraiser for football.. Stayed and helped til it was over.. Did I mention it was over 100 degree's .. it is 2:00 pm and I am soo worn out it is unbelieveable.. I just turned on the deep fryer to throw some wings in.. So I guess today will just be hotwings.. I lost more down to 213 today, and that is official weigh in weight..

Yes ma'am!! I owe it all to LC.. Plus the stats don't show the overall feeling/energy.. all that! I feel like the only time I am in absolute control is when I am OP with my LC.. It is my life now.. I went off plan over the last year.. off and on.. and I was miserable. I know this is the life for me!

baconlovr · 08-29-2009, 05:18 PM

I didn't know Atkins or Low Carbing allowed deep fried foods??

Redgrldj · 08-29-2009, 05:37 PM

as long as you don't batter it, you can eat it...

Redgrldj · 08-29-2009, 07:36 PM

I aam wondering what you all think about this idea.. I was out in the sun and got a sun burn and know I am dehydrated.. I am drinking alot right now but know I need more.. I ate a bunch of chicken wings, some with hot sauce.. I know I cannot be starving type hungry, but that is how I feel right now.. My idea is that when you need fluids, your body reacts in the same ways as when you are hungry.. Any one else have a take on this??

yes.. they always say that thirst/dehydration can be mistaken for hunger... keep drinking!!

Redgrldj · 08-29-2009, 07:58 PM

I'm going too.. I just wanted to see who agree'd with me on this LOL..

sobby1234 · 08-30-2009, 10:53 AM

Just logged in to see how my new friends are doing. I was showing my hubby the website he said if that will help you I dont care if you talk to those people all day!!! Good News!!! I can talk to you all day!!! LOL

baconlovr · 08-30-2009, 11:03 AM

so Sobby1234, if he didn't like the website...would that mean you would stop ??

Redgrldj · 08-30-2009, 11:20 AM

I have kept my carbs super low and today I am going to bring them up to around 45 -50.. I had a huge omelette from the is place called the cowgirl cafe.. It is loaded with a variety of meats plus tomatoes, onions, peppers and cheese.. My DH and I shared it I added a teaspoon of gravey and 2 tablespoons of hashbrown.. Opps and a tootsie roll LOL.. I have to go out to dinner with my in-laws after going shopping with them today. I am going to try to steer them towards a steak house or someplace I can get some ahi/poke tuna... i won't eat after 6 today....

You amaze me. You have lost over a 100 pounds ... are within 20 pounds of goal... and you still stay strong in front of the family.

This weekend was the first time that I have been around my family since I started, and they were not real supportive either. My mom wanted to go to McDonalds to get breakfast and got a little upset that I just wanted my leftover chicken from the night before. That being said, my step-dad made the wonderful comment "you look like you have lost some weight!" Of course, he is my new favorite person.

I did try frying some chicken breasts using the flax meal ... it did not taste good at all.
