    Ordered the book.........

    My 2002 book that you all told me to get is on its way!!

    I'm in full ketosis (mid-range) and my energy is up. Having a hard time drinking water and eating today tho - dentist did a number on my mouth

    My attitude is positive but I am finding that low carb is lots of work in the kitchen... I like cooking and since my husband and I are both doing low carb I am making about 5 dozen eggs for egg salad, tuna salad, scrambled eggs...
    eggs....are okay if they are mixed with other things but by themselves...sheesh.

    I was able to coat chicken thighs with mayo/mustard/onion salt/pepper/egg mixed all together, roll it around and fry it up....yum.

    But the mall, the mall and the bakery at the store really kill me...

    One at a time I am looking at food that I absolutely love and crave and am sort of saddened that I can't eat those anymore - not without severe consequences. And in all honesty I am planning my binge on sugar around xmas time.

    Addiction is a funny thing eh?
    Nothing changes if nothing changes...

    This is the day it changes!!!

    There's lots of things worth dying for...sugar in my body isn't one of them!

    Congrats on getting the book! Keep it beside you, read from it often.

    Your cravings will start to go away and soon you will look forward to the new foods cooked a new way. I've been at this just short of two years, and I can't believe how much I love the way I'm eating.

    If you really have a sugar binge at Christmas, you'll be one sorry chick! I can promise you it won't be pretty.

    Sunny!

      As Sunny says, keep on plan and you will probably find your cravings start to diminish the longer you do without sugar and flour etc

      Try eating a legal highfat meal or snack before you go anywhere near the mall and bakery to help you resist temptation!

      It is great that you are doing this together and that you are a willing cook! This woe is so much easier for those who are happy messing about in the kitchen
      Keep up the good work - I see from your numbers you are already a loser
      Wondering 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!!

        I'm staying on this induction darn it!!! <more determined than ever!!!>

        Thanks for the support.

        I meant (to be held accountable...) to say that "in my head" re: planning the binge...not an actual thought. I'm a recovering alcoholic and before I finally quit I would always say "just one more time, I know I can lick it if I have just ONE drink"
        That is what I meant. By being honest about it & writing it out - helps. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

        Gosh, this sugar thing really is the strongest addiction I have ever had to deal with...because we all have to eat. So naturally my brain is going to try to trick me... by thinking of all the goodies (we'll try rewording it like this: "fatalities") to eat at Christmas. In no way did I start actually plan to binge at christmas. I truly believe that this sugar addiction will kill me.

        Funny how even though we know it's bad for us, it still looks good?

        So, what you we eat at Christmas time?
