My whole low-carb/no carb diet thing is driving me to madness, SuzanneR? How are the sausages enough, all I want is an order of pad thai from my fave thai restaurant, if not that, I may just commit a violent crime tonight!!!!
So NOT working!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I just saw this post. Jenna, Sorry I didn't reply yesterday. I am so out of sorts today I can't even stand it. I can't even post, I'm old-man grumpy, I had a fight with FH last night, and I'm just over it.
I'm in a serious funk. It's funkdified thursday.
The one good thing I can tell you is, after a while, your appetite should really dwindle. Yesterday, all I ate was 3 hard boiled eggs and a sausage.
Of course, it's the only day I DIDN'T lose weight, so clearly I didn't eat enough.
So today I had scrambled eggs with cheese, and a different kind of sausage. Not turkey- PORK.
And like it has in my past, I'm looking to pork to make me feel better.
Just a tip- one of the awesomest things I have made so far?
Tacos. Regular meat, seasoned with the Taco Bell seasoning packets you get at the supermarket. (don't use the whole thing- there's carbs! You don't need the whole thing.)
then I use cheese, scallions, tomatoes, and sour cream and make a taco.
I put it on a romaine leaf! I know, it sounds stupid, but this is AMAZING, and it ;makes you feel normal again after all of that constant meat eating.
Also, do you have the Atkins books?? In the old school book, there was a recipe for Zucchini Nut Bread, made with Atkins Bake Mix. Of course they don't make the bake mix anymore, but you can use Soy Flour, and it kicks A$$. I haven't made it recently with the soy flour, but plan to this weekend.
Just remember, after you get through the first two weeks, you can let up a bit and have more controlled carb foods, like low carb breads and pastas. Just be creative! If you want, I can post some recipes. Let me know!
Good luck, Jenna, and just try to get through today. I'll be right there with you!
