You looked beautiful. Your dd is gorgeous. Thanks for the inspirational post. I enjoyed reading it and it gave me the kick in the butt I needed to get this deal going again.

I have heard about egg creams. I hate breakfast. Can I have a recipe PLEASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSEEEEEEEEEEE

Thanks

Katie

Prozak · 07-16-2008, 10:54 AM

aw thanks EVERYONE, I really did feel great. I have never had my hair done professionally before

cathlaur:

my eggs creams are very simple, everyone does it differently but I am just in LOVE with this version:

in a blender goes

3 large free range eggs (organic is best)
1/5 oz of heavy cream
splish of vanilla (much smaller than a splash LOL)
sweetener to taste
8 frozen cubes of coffee
maybe a bit more cold coffee if it it to thick

I have also been putting in 1.5TBS of extra virgin coconut oil, but not everyone likes the taste of coconut so it is up to you.

These things are a God-send for me, and for a long time actually felt guilty like I was indulging in something I should not be eating LOL

Congratulations Prozak!

lovetoread · 09-04-2008, 08:00 AM

Prozak,
I know this sounds whiney, but the raw egg thing kind of grosses me out. I'm a bit of a pickey eater. Can you substitute whey protein powder for the eggs or would that not be low-carb enough? I'm a newbie, struggling horribly. Any advice besides stop being a whiner about the eggs? =)
Blessings,
Lovetoread

Prozak · 09-04-2008, 08:20 PM

As long as it is a sugar free Protein powder you will be fine, check the carb count.

Lot of people use powder.. I just prefer the eggs.

I really do think you should at least TRY it. I swear you won't know it is in there.

You can't get much more perfect protein and fat than a whole raw egg.

Goldenrod · 09-04-2008, 09:43 PM

PROZAK!

What a great accomplishment! So happy for you!

And let me be one more to add that what you said is so true -- I'll never be "grateful" for being chubby, but I understand what you said about finding LCF because you were trying to lose weight. I have learned such a wealth of information on all kinds of health and wellness-related topics from people here. It's really like I'm two different people -- before low carb, and after -- and it's not just the weight, but the KNOWLEDGE.

And you know what? The oldest bridesmaid was the prettiest one there. :

Congrats, Prozak! It's okay if we set goals and aren't able to reach them on our preferred schedule; we can't force our bodies to do it. But it's really exciting when someone sets a goal like yours and reaches it! Very inspiring.
