Re: 3 years?
Heidi I just want to say you look ^#%@ing fabulous! I can not believe that you are 48--from that pic you have the body of a 20 yr old. I'm 25, and I think I have the body of a 60 year old...
Very cool that you were able to lose so much weight and keep it off successfully! That is quite an accomplishment...truly inspirational.
Way to go, Heidi!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: 3 years?
Congratulations on 3 years of Atkins eating and 2 years maintaining your goal weight, Heidi!
I am so glad you came back here as I really missed your photos of your 'diet food'
Isnt it great to be able to eat lavishly and lose/not gain weight :clappingWondering how to get 'most' of your net carbs from your induction veggies?
Take a look at the thread from the latest Veggie Challenge to see how others manage it!
Check out our Low Carb Recipes website and add to it!!

Re: 3 years?
Thanks!
I'm gonna have fun trying to find some more of your stuff - hope those recipes hasn't disappeared like your old journal did...
This one sure looks interesting! (yes, that's the main recipe I was hoping for!) I never heard of using agar agar for anything other than a petri dish!! And "erythritol" is something I never heard of. Where do you come up with these things? 
Of course, you very thoughtfully offered alternative ingredients. Will gelatin sub for agar?~Susan

Re: 3 years?
Hi Heidi - I'm going to the US next week (Charlotte, NC) and was hoping to buy the Davinci syrup and the Agar Agar stuff. Any suggestions where I can go? (I'm not familiar with that town but I'm sure if there are big chains or something that carry it - I might be able to get it)
Also, your Korean side dish with kimchee in it - what is that? I love Asian food - so I'm hoping I can get some of these things next week!
Wow - Have you thought of starting your own cook book site? I'll be the FIRST member! YEAH!

Re: 3 years?
Heidie - I used to LOVE the Asian grocery when I lived in Charlotte many years ago! If I remember correctly, Eastway near a store with a giant rocking chair on the corner.
There is not one in Annapolis, MD, unfortunately. But on a recent excursion with Mom to northern VA, I spotted one and we stopped, letting me replenish some favorite sauces and foods plus get a few new things to try, such as instant jellyfish, seaweed and a balut egg.
It amazes me how different much of oriental cuisine is, especially with out-of-the-fridge times being so long. How cold is "a cool not cold place" ?? Is it a fermentation that you are promoting, thus the "CAUTION"?~Susan
