Starting back on

woohoo10134 · 02-16-2007, 05:38 PM

I'm starting back on low carb, a few years ago i did it and lost 30 pounds!! I got off and gained that weight plus more, I need some positive feed back, some motivation to get back on the bandwagon. Also i noticed there's alot of cooking involved in this way of eating, are there any suggestions of ways to prepare foods so food prepreation is quick?

Good luck, you can do it!

For prep, think like the restaurants do: in other words, plan ahead! When you get home from the store, prep your veggies in advance. Cut your cheese into cubes, fry up a bag of chicken breast, brown a few pounds of meat, etc. In short, do most of your "cooking" on the weekend, then just combine and reheat all week long. It really helps me a lot, and as an added bonus, it helps keep the kitchen clean all week.

Thanks for the tip, i just baked a bunch of chicken that i'm gonna use for salads for lunch, i think i'm gonna make scrambled eggs a staple for breakfast, i might make those in advance too. looks like i'll be having steak for dinner with some brocelli, delicous!

That sounds awesome! You should check out the revolution roll thread too, I think they are good for induction. I'm making two dozen of them tonight, to refrigerate.

those sound tasty, i might have to try those sometime. I'm trying my best to stick with this way of eating, i know it works, i'm gonna need the motivation and inspiration though to keep going.
