Knox Gelatine 0 carbs (@ walmart) Carys Sugar Free Syrup 0 carbs (@ Walmart) I'm going to try it with Heavy whipping cream cause its 0 carbs. Cant wait to try this.

Hi everyone, I would love to have an Induction buddy! I am originally from Florida but moved to Lebanon 3 years ago to be with Hubby. We have a 1 year old and it tough running behind her. I did Atkins/HCG 5-6 years ago and managed to lose 50lbs bringing me right at 200lbs, the smallest I have ever been in my adult life. After having the baby I have gained the 50lbs back, I want to have the energy to run after my little girl.

[eterprincess]

seems a lot like yesterdays so far lol

B: ground hamburger with onion
S: havent decided yet
L: Casserole from yesterday
S2: tomatoes and mozzarella
D: will prob make oopsie rolls and cheeseburgers, depending on when I get in tonight. then have the oopsie rolls for tomorrow breakfast

[kdarnelld]

starryeyed Glad to have you on board. I am the same way Im 41 with an 8 month old and he is waring me out just from crawling I cant imagine when he gets up and running. I need to have the energy to keep up with him that is why I'm trying to get back to my pregnancy weight. It seems like since I hit 40 I have aches and pains that i didnt use to have and i know having all this weight on me is probably a major contributor. Be sure to check in everyday for encouragement, tips and support. Be sure to list your BLDS meun for the day.

[starryeyed]

Thanks Kdarnelld, Our little girl is really active and she takes alot out of me. Did bfing help u at all? I just gained and gained...now its time to take this baby weight off!!
eterprincess, what are oopsie rolls?

Today's Menu:
Breakfast: Spinach Omelet with Cheese and 2 slices of deli ham
Lunch: Leftover Spinach Lasagna (Linda's Low carb recipe)
Dinner: Creamy Chicken soup (linda's low carb Recipe)
Snack: Ham and cheese rolls

[eterprincess]

its a roll that was developed by one of the LCers, I think she is on this forum, from her blog, that are a variation on the atkins revolution rolls. The recipe I am looking to try is:

CLEOCHATRA'S BEST EVER REVOL-OOPSIE ROLLS

3 large eggs
1 packet of Splenda
A dash of salt
A pinch of cream of tartar
3 ounces cream cheese (not Tbsp!) Do not soften!

Preheat oven to 300 degrees.

Separate the eggs and add Splenda, salt, and cream cheese to the yolks. Use a mixer to combine the ingredients together. In a separate bowl, whip egg whites and cream of tartar until stiff (if you're using the same mixer, mix the whites first and then the yolk mixture).

Using a spatula, gradually fold the egg yolk mixture into the white mixture, being careful not to break down the whites. Spray a cookie sheet with non-stick spray and spoon the mixture onto the sheet, making 6 mounds. Flatten each mound slightly.

Bake for about 30 minutes (You want them slightly softer, not crumbly). Let cool on the sheet for a few minutes, and then remove to a rack and allow them to cool.

I'm going to try the oopsie rolls when i have hamburger. @starryeyed i didn't breastfeed because i take medication that passes through to breast milk so i had to formula feed.

[Jonika]

Good morning everyone. I slept till 11am today. No work, no school right now.
I just had espresso with coconut milk and a little bit of H&H. I get the real coconut milk from an asian online store. I has nothing in it but coconut. It's the best stuff for drinking and cooking in my opinion.

Now, I am going to make scrambled eggs with some spices. That should keep me full for a few hours.

Can we eat nuts in Induction??

[eterprincess]

having a cup of unsweetened Strawberry Paraiso White Tea from Teavana, hoping it doesnt knock me out, but was thirsty for something other than diet coke lol

[eterprincess]

Jonika, if its the traditional atkins, not for the first two weeks they say, but it also i think depends on your body. Some people the recommend having nuts to start with

[Jonika]

Thanks eterprincess. I have almond flour cookies with hazelnuts left from last week. They are low-carb, made with stevia and erythritol. I don't want to waste them by throwing them out. I will eat them and will make no more for two upcoming weeks. I have only a few left...

[eterprincess]

oohhh, sounds tasty!

[Jonika]

they are Ginger cookies. Very tasty and very low-carb. I can post a recipe if you'd like.

[eterprincess]

please please. I have a wicked sweet tooth, but thankfulyl I am finding I like stuff made with Zsweet as well if not better than sugar.

Made some almond flour cookies for christmas, we didnt eat the chocolate ganach, but the cookies didnt survive

[jmarch07]

I would LOVE to join too.

Jonika, I agree with everything you said in your post.... except mine is more like 15 lbs to go!

My critical time is in the evening : from 6pm on...

I don't have much to lose, but it's enough for me. About 10 pounds. I need to stay away from sugar and starches for health reasons. The more sugar I eat, the more I crave the next day...It's a vicious cycle.

[eterprincess]

welcome welcome!

[Skinnurse]

Im going to have to find some vegan gelatin and try the panna cotta. (I can not bring myself to use regular gelatin ick)

My little girl had therapy early this morning so no breakfast really
B: coffee with splenda and half/half (its all the hospital had)
L 4oz steak with 2 eggs
D: Chourizo/mushroom stuffed peppers with a little cheese on top
S: pimento cheese with pork rinds

So I stepped on the scale today just because I was curious and woot down 3.5 pounds! Since Monday

[eterprincess]

would powdered agar work?

[Skinnurse]

I dont even know what that is lol. I can order vegan online. I just found some. Gelatin is ground up animal bones and carcass so im not ok with that but I definitely want to try the panna cotta which I will this weekend

[2f2f]

Oh you are most definitely NOT alone. My sugar addiction is AWFUL! I just need to get away from it. Chocolate is my weakness!

I'm usually fine at work... it's that 5:30-after dinner that's horrible for me. I just start eating everything! Anyone have suggestions to beat this??

[eterprincess]

Chocolate is a weakness for me, and everyone else in my office. We constantly have people bringing in italian pastries, buying costco bags of candy and hershey kisses, and I love to get a few to snack on.... thats the rough part. The 8 hours next to a jar of candy lol

[pakbabydoll]

B- Atkins shake (these things are expensive but I have school at 8am and I can never get myself to get up before 7).
L- half serving of Linda chesse pizza with a salad (cucumbers, iceberg lettuce, green peppers, green onions and 1 tsp of greek dressing)
S- Atkins indulgence bar
D- Going out so probably a salad or chicken marsala


I am on day 9 of induction and I noticed that I am not really hungry that much also I am having trouble sleeping and have this weird taste in my mouth all the time. Anyone else experience this?

For people with a sweet tooth, I tried the sugar free chocolate pudding with a little bit of HWC. Its great. I try to limit it because I am not sure if its allowed on induction or not but if you are really really craving something this will do the trick.

[Muffin1012]

I am so proud of everyone!! Today I had two small tuna patties (recipe on Linda's LC) for breakfast, an Unjury shake for lunch and then another as a snack. For dinner I plan on a nice salad with a grilled chicken breast from KFC. I'm not sure if any of you have tried this chicken, but trust me, it is addictive! I just have to make sure I eat. After having my protein which is mandatory since my WLS, I have no appetite.

[kdarnelld]

Hi all just checking in, sitting on the sofa looking at my little one take his frist crawls... I guess me and hubby is in for it now. So for lunch i had sauted onions and peppers with season steak and cheddar cheese, 2 boiled eggs and a atkins shake. i may eat the same thing for dinner but with chicken since I'm out of steak. Cant wait for the weekend to go grocery shopping.

[Jonika]

Oh ladies, don't talk to me about chocolate. I am a chocolate addict.
I am waiting for chromium and L-glutamine to come in the mail so I can cut the cravings out of my life...

Today, I made 2 scrambled eggs for lunch with a little bit of boiled red cabbage. It wasn't very tasty, but I think nothing is going to taste good to me for a few days. It's not sweet = it's not tasty

@jmarch07 - we are the same. I am in the same exact trouble. Show me chocolate and I can't resist - especially after 6 when the day is over and we all watch TV or just hang around together.

[eterprincess]

Dinner tonight: oopsie rolls, cheeseburger patties and dull pickle.

[Skinnurse]

Thanks ladies, I'm excited for the loss because I know if I stick to it, no cheats then it works.

Talk about temptation: I have a cabinet full of chocolate for the kids from Christmas and a half of HEB sheet cake with buttercream that my husband was thinking it was a great idea to buy Sunday since I was starting induction Monday...yea no

[eterprincess]

Day 4 meal plan

B: two oopsie rolls and diet coke
S: likely to be a low carb bar
L: hamburger pattie
S2: mozarella and tomatoes
D: not sure yet
