Megs reads alot of gardening books!

Be careful about popcorn when you add it to your OWL menu. 5 net carbs is a rather smallish amount (in comparison to what we probably ate pre-Atkins). So the portion control aspect is very important. I eat it occassionally. But I pop the kernels myself....the microwave stuff has alot of crap in it including hydrogenated oils. Plus,if you pop a bag, it's very tempting to eat all of it.

exactly why i haven't touched it. it's one of those snacks that i would eat when nothing else is around so didn't hit it very often but when i did, i could eat a whole bowl by myself. that must have been 3,297 carbs per bowl!!! yikes!!!

a good thing would be use the measuring cups. pop only what your serving would be.

has the op been back in here to see if he and his bro can have popcorn? lol

I totally agree. In the UK they used to do this brand called 'Poppop' and one flavour was caramel. It came with the microwave bag with kernels and a seperate foil packet of caramel. You popped the corn and then opened the bag, added the caramel and mircowaved it for a min and Voila.... GORGEOUS CARAMEL DRIPPING POPCORN.
