    What food is your greatest weakness?

    What food is your greatest weakness? I realize that most people will say sweets are their biggest weakness. While I like sweets as much as everyone else, I would say that my biggest weakness is BBQ. When I say BBQ I mean more than just throwing a piece of meat on a grill. I am talking about slow smoked sweet and spicy, sugary BBQ. I have a hard time with this because I compete in BBQ competitions and I am in the process of setting up my own BBQ catering company. I have family and friends asking me all the time to cook some ribs for them and it is hard for me to not eat and eat and eat!!!!



    What food do you struggle with??

    Good topic.

    I would say that when I began Atkins, my weak foods were anything containing potatoes, rice and pasta.

    Since I've been on Atkins, that's not the case anymore. I can eat alittle bit of potato, rice and pasta during OWL, and I don't fall victim to the eating monster. On the other hand, I've found legal foods that cause me to want to eat and eat and eat. So when I do eat them, I have to eat them conscientiously and be aware that they are a food trigger and that I have to limit myself to one serving or avoid them completely.

                  Chocolate cake
                  Mashed potatoes
                  Pizza
                  Cashews

                  Those are the top things that I've cheated with in the past because I thought I'd die if I didn't have them...but no more. If I kept eating those things, my weight would continue to rise and I really WOULD die. It's not worth the feelings of guilt that come with it. It's not worth the weight gain. It's not worth the thought of "I may as well give up on ever losing weight and being healthy."

                    Ice cream. Any kind, any time. Rocky road is my fave. If it's full of nuts, chips, chunks, bits, and ripples it's especially good. So that's something I'm going to have to tread carefully with, if I ever decide to add low carb ice cream back in (way down the "rocky" road of course). I'm thinking I should probably just stay away from it.

                    Nuts would be next on the list. Very easy to overeat those.

                            Chocolate, bread & ice cream in that order. I indulged in an occasional peice of cornbread over the summer but it is definitly off limits for me now.

                              Yep! I do make them sugar free when I cook for myself and my family. It is when I cook for others that I have to make the non-LC version. Then I am tempted!
