Guest guest Posted May 13, 2002 Report Share Posted May 13, 2002 << i am low carbing. i eat roast beef, onions, mushrooms, pork, sauerkraut, and strawberries like they were the only things out there. and cashews. no breads, potatoes, rice or anything white. >> Awesome... psst don't forget green things... broccoli, lettuce, asparagus, cabbage, brussel sprouts, green beans etc. << but i do drink a beer or daiquiri on occasion. that needs to stop i think. >> A beer has ~ 13 carbs per 12 oz... if you can find sugar/carb free daiquiri mix, the alcohol in one is whiskey right? whiskey is only a trace carbs as is vodka, and gin etc. however for me, if i have some alcohol, then its like my resistance to say no to the other carbs is lower plus i crave them.

Guest guest Posted May 14, 2002 Report Share Posted May 14, 2002 actually, i forgot green beans and broccoli. i just ran out, but it's on my list, and i do eat those. i don't like " greens " , so i pass on those. i love beets, carrots, tomatoes, and i think i recall those are off, but since my county raises the best tomatoes in the world, i add those. also squash, zukes, cukes and eggplant. i'm guessing those are ok. the daiquiri is called 'i'm bananas over you' and it comes already mixed. it's like a banana milkshake, only with rum i think. the base is heavy cream, and i have a small little glass some nites when i'm feeling stressed. once every few weeks, i go with the brother the SIL to a brew pub, and then i do bad things. i get a hamburger (trash the top of the bread on occasion); fries and two beeers. no dessert. i now have cheesecake squares in the fridge, and when i feel i'm gonna scream if i don't have something sweet, i eat one. i also have chocolate chips, and that helps, but those are going out today. i'm trying to find something sweet and i made notes before so i'm going back for the notes to get candy bars or whatever for that craving. but i think the loneliness now is not helping, and i tend to need comfort food more than before, and i'm trying to figure out a good one. pat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 14, 2002 Report Share Posted May 14, 2002 The Ross dark chocolate lowcarb candy bars are really delicious...but they may raise your BGs a little. ( " hidden carbs " ). If you can get the Walden low carb chocolate syrup, (available online) a little of that in some ricotta cheese makes a really yummy dessert and satisfies my chocolate need.

Guest guest Posted May 14, 2002 Report Share Posted May 14, 2002 Try to figure out something besides food that comforts you and keeps you away from the kitchen. For me, getting involved in a quilting project works.

Guest guest Posted May 14, 2002 Report Share Posted May 14, 2002 sounds good. i'm gonna try to find them and see what happens. i find when i'm working on here, i NEED a munchie. i'm trying to decide if there is a " dip " that i could dunk in some broccoli, green peppers or something and it would be ok. i tend to be into munching now, and i was eating rice cakes because they have no calories, then i realized they were RICE. i'm trying to come up with stuff. just still grumbling again. lol pat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 14, 2002 Report Share Posted May 14, 2002 ok, sounds good, roger. i was thinking of mixing up sour cream, mayo and some herbs, but i have not read the labels. i'm guessing once i do, i will go for something else. i'm craving eggplant, and thinking i may figure out how to roast them here, and make a sandwich of that, with some tuna or something. pat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 14, 2002 Report Share Posted May 14, 2002 I think hummus wouldn't be TOO carby and it works nicely as a dip...best to eat and test...it's made from garbanzo beans, tahini (sesame seeds) and olive oil. Also...mayonnaise isn't carby; you could add some lemon juice and use that for a dip...oh yes, guacamole of course; avocados aren't hardly carby at all. You can make your own guacamole with very ripe avocado, lemon juice, and some mayo (NOT Miracle Whip). If you add tomatos and onions that'll make it carbier.

Guest guest Posted May 14, 2002 Report Share Posted May 14, 2002 Slice eggplant and salt slices, let 'em sit for about ten minutes...pat dry...brush with olive oil and bake till desired doneness. Then you could use this as " bread " with something in between...a soft cheese would be be good. There's a new Whole Foods market that just opened in Portland that has all kinds of cheeses I've never tasted. I'm trying them one by one...just found a WONDERFUL, full flavored soft cheese (sorta like brie) called taleggio ciresa...one small slice on top of two slices of deli roast beef, nuked for about 30 seconds and rolled up is Really Yummy.

Guest guest Posted May 14, 2002 Report Share Posted May 14, 2002 well, i hate avacados, and other stuff, like beans (except green beans). it seems the stuff, even vegies, i like are all the wrong one. i'm gonna work on it, and find stuff i like. going shopping in a huge vegie dept. tomorrow. just got to remember that some of the stuff is nono. pat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
