Oh - I did lose .8 this morning.
I feel like I'm eating well . . . .

CarolynF · 04-30-2009, 02:53 PM

MKay: Regular grocery stores don't have it..or even some health food stores don't carry.
For some strange reason, the nutrition store down the road carries it..Who knows? You can always order it..

3/4 cup sifted coconut flour
1 tsp baking powder
(the original recipe called for honey, but I used no sweetener at all and it turned out slightly sweet tasting anyways-you could use AS though)

Mix well, pour into buttered loaf pan, bake at 350 for 40 minutes.

I sliced mine into 12 generous, thick slices and got 1 gm net carbs per slice.

I am going to take the dog on a nice long jog this afternoon before work, nothing like exercise to make me feel good about myself-and that way if I do creep up to 2,000 calories today at least I worked some extra off. ****** says I burn 2700 a day with a moderate activity level so at least I will still be under that. It's crazy, I KNOW my clothes are looser, but the scale actually weighed a pound heavier than last week?!

All I can think is that I'm retaining water and/or muscle weight is changing my numbers from the exercise I was doing that was a bit more than what I had been doing. Ah well, I'll keep my calories between 1500 and 1700 per day with good ratios and see what happens next week

Becky, what are the dimensions of your "buttered loaf pan"? Nowadays loaf pans come in all sizes and I don't want to use one too small or too large. Well, I sure sound a little Goldilocks. LOL

I got up early b/c I had a Drs. appt. and I wanted to a few things before I left. After the Dr. I went for my monthly WW weigh in, then to Dad's for awhile. Stopped back by Everest/SureWest to drop off my equipment and cancel my acct. with them, and then stopped at the grocery store. Got home and made cold and hot chicken salad. Cold for lunch, hot for dinner. So after I cleaned up that mess and ate my lunch I started in on the vacuuming of my FR and LR. I think I vacuumed every sq. inch of every surface in both of those rooms and the entryway. And I finally got around to sorting through a very tall pile of papers and filing what needed to be filed and shredding what needed to be shredded. Then I was finally done except for finishing up dinner. During dinner I remembered that I was supposed to pay Dad's vehicle tags and taxes and that I had picked them up one day last week while I was there along with his insurances. Auto and home. Well, I couldn't find the vehicle taxes/tags bill anywhere. I called him to see if I left it there....no I didn't. So I dug through the whole week's trash and finally in a small bag from the LR trash basket I found it!! And I hadn't torn it in two like I usually do! So I'm finally good again, lol.

I need to look for the C. flour. I think I'd like that bread. If my grocery doesn't have it there's a really good HFS close that I know will have it.

The hot chicken salad was good Carolyn. Thanks! I didn't have near enough cheese for the topping but it was still good. I mixed up some ground almonds with parmesan for the topping too. DH gave it a thumbs up. We had sauteed mushrooms along with it. And instead of cr. of chicken soup, I used that Chicken and Mushroom soup that's lower in carbs. It was very yummy.

I hope Gary didn't catch anything and I hope Buffy or her family doesn't catch anything either.

my loaf pan was a regular size one, and it just turned out more like a cornbread shape-I need to find a narrower loaf pan so it has more of a bread shape to make it easier to fit in the toaster. It won't rise much.

Tuscangirl-I'm right with you-eating right, can feel things "loosening up", but weight is staying stubborn-I figure as long as I'm doing the right things it can't stay on forever, right?! The girls are shrinking-it's always a sign (one my DH doesn't like

)

CarolynF · 04-30-2009, 07:16 PM

Yup...

Tags and taxes are due this month for us..Glad you found your dad's stuff..I've done that, too...

MKay: wow..you did very well....I'll start the new thread so we can post our losses/gains for the month of April.............

I will go with The Barry Month of May..

CindyCRNA · 04-30-2009, 07:48 PM

Carolyn, did you see Oprah today? Kristi Alley was on. She seemed very self conscious. She needs to try LC! Someone went over to her website to look at her new diet plan she was hinting at but wouldn't talk about and they said it was some Scientology thing.

ebheffernan · 04-30-2009, 10:21 PM

Ugh-today sucked

I dutifully recorded everything in ******, but I hit 3000 calories today *sigh* proportions were good though and the average balance over the last 7 days is still a deficit. Tomorrow I'm back to 1500-1600 calories per day. Dog and I will also do 4 miles tomorrow. I"m headed into the work weekend though, if I get called in tomorrow night for my call shift, I might have 4 12's in a row, if that's the case I'm going to make my goal 2,000 or under, then go back to 1500 on my week off. We'll see!

okay, i had to get the recipe out that i used before which came from the bag of CF:
3 eggs
2 T butter, melted
2 T coconut milk or whole milk
3 T honey
1/4 t salt
1/4 t vanilla
1/4 c coconut flour
1/4 t baking powder
1/2 c pecans, chopped

the instructions are pretty basic....mix the wet and dry ingreds separately (sift the CF) then combine and mix til no lumps. bake at 400 for 15 min.

now this is a muffin recipe and it makes 6 very small muffins. i never made muffins and used a small cake pan.
i omitted the nuts and increased the vanilla.....just used a pinch of salt.
i omitted the honey and used erythritol/stevia. my daughter uses splenda so you decide. you'll have to taste for sweetness.

so really, for any larger size cake you need to double, triple, the recipe.

i also decreased the temp to 350-375 and baked it a bit longer....can't remember exactly.

i was amazed at how delicious it was and everyone loved it including the teens.
there is no reason to make a regular cake once you make this.
