You know you have Atkins on the brain....

[bayoumom]

when you wake yourself up in the middle of the night and realize all that meal planning and counting carbs was just a dream-

I blame it on the fact that just before going to sleep I had wound down after rereading a few chapters in the atkins book-

Just wanted to give everyone a chuckle this morning! Taking a short break from kitchen duty- been cutting up all the veggies that go into my soup fixing for the family-- havent decided if I will be able to eat it or not-have to sit down and count all the carbs going into it and then see how bad it really is....

Wishing all a blessed day!

My youngest daughter wanted me to make her some lentil soup.
So i did.
Then she decided she didn't want it!.
It's loaded with carrot's, swede, and onion's (and of course lentil's) some chicken stock, salt and black pepper, parsley and a sensation of sugar.
I had to taste it ( as you do ) and it taste's absolutely delicious.
My wife can't eat it, because she has an allergy to swede, my eldest daughter just won't!
I would but i can't

It's enough to make a grown man cry!

Re: You know you have Atkins on the brain....

I had a dream last night where i was eating everything sweet in sight. I was eating ice cream and cookies and cake. I woke up feeling so guilty, like i really cheated. I seem to have alot of dreams where i am eating foods that are not allowed, most of the time it is an accident in the dream. I always wake up feeling guilty, silly huh.

Re: You know you have Atkins on the brain....

Well just finished totalling the carb count on my soup-- now this will sound like alot of carbs in my soup but when I say soup- I mean soup! It makes 3 meals- I freeze one- give one gallon to a neighbor and we eat the other that night..I have a family of 6 so need lots-

Total count was 330(was just shy so I rounded it up to 330) / 3 meals= 130 per meal and each meal feeds us 2 bowls each- so I am thinking each serving (I get 12 bowls out of each meal with some left over that the boys fight over) should be around 9 (again I rounded up a bit) not too bad-

I am cutting my salad out at lunch and will be cutting my salad out tonite - so my carbs should come in right under 20 for the day..

whew that was work- so much easier to just throw a tuna steak or salmon on to sear and a salad to go with it....
