STEP BY STEP THE LOW CARB LIFE

ISSUE 82 OCT 17, 1999

A WORD FROM JEP

Hi all! Hope that you are having a great week! Have you thought about

what you are going to do about Halloween? Just a few suggestions: instead of

giving out candy, get stickers, tattoos, little plastic rings, or pencils! A

great way not to have candy leftovers in the house. If you haven't visited

my website lately, I've made up a special fun, spooky Halloween page!

Several people here from AOL have contributed " spooky " stories to the

Halloween page! Thanks to all of you

THE RECIPE CORNER

Cream of Chicken Soup

From Atkid N FL

*Note, was kind enough to send this to me, cause I have a cold right

now! However, this sounds so good, that I had to share it with all of you

too! Thanks !

1 3/4 cup of broth from cooked chicken.

(I used chicken breast and added just a little onion powder and garlic salt

while cooking. I used the chicken breast for chicken salad)

2 egg yolks

1 1/4 cup of heavy cream

1 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon of pepper

dried parsley

In boiler mix egg yolks into broth. Cook over medium low heat (you don't

want it too hot or your eggs will begin to " scramble " ) stirring often until

mixture begins to thicken slightly and form a coating on a metal spoon. About

10 or 15 minutes.(would probably work better over a double boiler but my

daughter has mine)

Remove from heat and stir in cream, salt and pepper.

Return back to stove and cook over low heat stirring occasionally until very

hot (about 5 minutes)

Pour into soup mugs and sprinkle with parsley.

Makes 3 large servings or 4 small ones. A little over 2 carbs a mug....

This suggestion for Low carb French toast comes from Judilee!

Tonight I decided to use up 7 of my carbs on a piece of french toast with the

lite bread. I mixed up 1 egg, 1/4 cup heavy cream, 1/2 tsp vanilla, sprinkle

of cinnamon and a tsp of SPlenda. Beat well and dip the bread in and fry.

BUT, here's the NEW part - I had leftover egg mixture so I smooshed some pork

rinds into it (I hate pork rinds except for breading things). The rinds

soaked up the mixture and I fried it up like a patty in some butter, flipped

it and browned the other side. Served with DaVinci Maple Syrup it was

FANTASTIC!! This does taste like french toast. With a side of bacon and a

couple eggs it was a very large dinner (OK, I eat breakfast foods at night.

We eat steak for breakfast, so why not?) Please, if you like French Toast,

you gotta try it!

Carbs= 3 if you count the egg!!

This one is from MMooky

A hearty steak dinner

in only 15 minutes from broiler to dinner table? What a wonderful weeknight

strategy.

This recipe is an adaptation of one of Beard's favorites included in

" Beef for All Seasons " by Frederick J. Simon and son

3/4 cup Roquefort cheese (about 6 ounces)

2 tablespoons butter, at room temperature

1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

2 tablespoons chopped chives

4 sirloin steaks (each about 1 1/2 inches thick and 11 ounces)

Freshly ground black pepper to taste

In a medium bowl, cream together the Roquefort cheese, butter, Worcestershire

sauce and chives. Set aside.

Season the steaks with pepper to taste.

Heat a nonstick pan over medium-high heat. Add the steaks to the pan and sear

until they are nicely browned on 1 side, about 1 1/2 minutes. Turn and sear

for another 1 1/2 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium and cook, turning once,

until desired degree of doneness, about 2 minutes per side for medium-rare.

Preheat the broiler.

Transfer the steaks to the broiler pan. Divide the cheese mixture evenly

among the steaks, mounding it in the middle. Broil just until the cheese

melts, about 2 minutes. Serve immediately.

HEALTHY CROCK POT CHILI

From Mmooky

1 lb beef stew meat; trimmed

6 oz tomato paste

1 c chopped onions; 2 medium

2 bell peppers; diced

2 garlic cloves; minced

1 tb chili powder

1 ts ground cumin

1/2 ts dried oregano; crushed

Trim the beef of all visible fat. Cut into 1/2 inch cubes. Place meat in

crockpot and stir in tomato paste to completely coat meat. Add the remaining

ingredients and stir to blend. DO NOT add any additional liquid. Cover and

cook for 12 hours on LOW heat. When done, you can skim the fat from surface

and discard. YIELD: 4 Servings

**I haven't calculated carbs for this one, but all ingredients, with the

exception of the onion are fairly low carb. This sounds like it would make a

great Low carb beanless chili!~~~~~~~**

EXERWISE

By Janelle

Many are discovering that exercise is worth the sacrifice of time! Physical

activity helps us more than we can even imagine! Today, I will focus on the

benefits to the legs.

Your legs will thank you for every kick, jump, step, and stride. An

intricate system of muscles, veins, and valves in the calf push deoxygenated

blood back to the heart and lungs. You can strengthen your heart and improve

circulation in your legs by as little as three 20-minute sessions of exercise

per week. This can prevent future leg problems, as well as minimize an

existing problem.

The following exercises are known to prevent or maintain the condition of

spider and varicose veins: the squat, leg lunges, sitting leg raises, pelvic

tilts, inner and outer thigh lifts, and standing calf raises. These moves

will strengthen the calves, thighs and butt-areas most prone to varicose

veins. (Not to mention these will give you beautiful shape! Yes, I’m vain.)

In addition, the following activities also work:

Walking. Often deemed the perfect exercise since it is appropriate for the

largest number of people, walking provides benefits by stimulating vein

circulation. Walking in water is even better, with the added resistance.

(Yes, I know that is my favorite word!) The compressive effects of water

pressure is great for circulation.

Running. This activity is best suited for these in good health. This

involves a training period, but the rewards are well worth the effort.

Biking and swimming. These modes of exercise are impact-free. This prevents

common injuries such as shin splints and sprains. Swimming utilizes your

entire body without stress.

Keep in mind that exercise can prevent your existing problem veins from

worsening. It cannot, however, eliminate these veins.

Sitting or standing all day at work puts a large stain on leg circulation.

It hinders the flow of blood at key junctures and forces the veins to battle

the effects of gravity. While sitting at work, it would behoove you to point

and flex your feet, and rotate your ankles in both directions. If you must

stand, try shifting your weight frequently, from heel to toe, stretch out

occasionally and wiggle your toes.

There are lots of treatments available for varicose and spider veins. Be

sure to seek advise from a vein specialist.

As you exercise, today, know that there is one more benefit you may not have

thought about before. Legs are a precious commodity!

INSPIRATIONS

Shared with us by Tobiz2

YOU HAVE TO MAKE IT HAPPEN.

-----------------------------------------------

Nothing happens by itself.

Success will all come your way,

once you understand that you have to make it come your way,

by your own efforts.

Only you can hold yourself back.

Only you can stand in your own way.

Only you can help yourself.

You must set your own standards.

Success on any major scale requires you to accept responsibility.

Your life will always be to a large extent what you make of it.

There is no one to stop you but yourself.
