Re: I give up....

MMM Kraft 3 cheese ranch is my fave, but I tend to pour too much on, so I use Paul Newmans oil and vinegar parm dressing now, it's pretty good and keeps me from using too much.

Gravy, I can't remember if mushrooms are allowed during induction, but if they are... our favorite mushroom sauce/gravy recipe is

1 cup whipping cream in saucepan, heat slowly

grind 2 bags of assorted dried mushrooms fine in a coffee grinder, add to cream and whisk as you add it slowly.

add salt and pepper to taste

cook on medium stirring constantly until it reduces.

If you want it thicker, add a sprinkle or two of xanthan gum while whisking.

Its simply to die for, we pour it on all kinds of meat and side dishes.

Re: I give up....

That sounds really good. But I'm not sure where I would find dried mushrooms around here (Tyler, TX). I found a couple of good recipes that I can modify to being LC. Besides, I can always scrape the sauce off mine. If I ever see dried mushrooms at the store I will definitely be buying some and trying that recipe. Is it posted in the recipe forum yet? Just wondering if I need to save it myself.

Thanks so much!

Re: I give up....

I'm at 191!!!! Honestly, the weight is whooshing right off me, and I know it's fat 'cuz my hormones are all messed up (along with every other aspect of your body that can affect). In other words, I'm a moody mess, but it's for the best and will be worked out soon. I hope to be in the 180s soon. Like I've said before, at 190 I'm gonna let myself wear my favorite jeans again. And it looks like I'll need to since the ones I am wearing now are sooo loose; and they were just washed.
At 180 I have a fabulous dress that I want to try on again. I can get it on and it looks alright, but I wouldn't feel comfortable wearing it in public. I hope it looks good at 180 because I don't have any other clothes to use for a goal and certainly no money for clothes.
I can't believe I ever left low carb eating. It really works, but I'm just gonna take the previous 4 months as a learning experience for how I can eat when I'm at goal. And hopefully my metabolism will be a little faster by then. That would make things nice.
I hope everone is have a good week and LC/Atkins is going well.
