Re: Dandr ~ Our Summer Reading Program

The percentages are a guideline, imo. I try to make sure that I eat a fat with my meals. For example, breakfast this morning was a WASA fiber rye cracker topped with a couple slices of leftover turkey and a piece of Munster cheese. So my breakfast included a fat source (the cheese), protein (the turkey) and carb (the rye cracker). I try to avoid eating "meals" that are solely carb or solely protein. For example, rye cracker with a few radishes or a couple of chicken drumsticks.

Re cheese

For many recipes, you can use whatever cheese you like. Stronger flavored cheeses like parmesan or asiago are great because you don't have to use as much for the flavor and so you can mix them with milder cheeses like mozarrella.

Aspie.... just put your pointer on it, right click and copy. Go to your User CP to edit signature and paste it where you want it.

Re: Dandr ~ Our Summer Reading Program

thanks megs.
there is some confusion as to the percentages. for use with induction only, continued throughout the plan, lower fat percentage in owl and the like.

i follow the percentages even now being at goal. i am not strict with them but if i log my fit day and see them way out of whack, like yesterday, i know i have to catch control of things and reign every thing back in the next day.

Re: Dandr ~ Our Summer Reading Program

I get confused about the percentages so try to have a protein, fat, and a small amount of carb at each meal. I do best with several small meals instead of 3 large ones.

Cheese: Thank you not2late and Elizellen for all the advice about cheese. Mixing the stronger cheeses with a mild one is a great idea and that would leave some of the stronger cheese for a little snack. I love cheese.

Re: Dandr ~ Our Summer Reading Program

ack..... seems like we need one more "lecture" about the percentages, doesn't it?

i happen to know that some who did not read along with us are questioning this again. i think i'll tattoo it on my arm so i won't ever forget it. lol

protein and fats should be close in grams
ratio 65 fats/30 proteins

used as a guide not an absolute (i think like megs)

induction and owl (i still use it but as a guide and i don't freak if it isn't 'right')

okay, now 2big can come in and correct everything i just said.

Re: Dandr ~ Our Summer Reading Program

Okay, Jimmie...I have been eating all three (fat,protein, & carbs) with each meal. I will continue to do so and watch my percentages. My fat grams and protein grams are always pretty close. So,I think I am doing this WOE right! I will hush for now about the numbers. I sometimes think too much and make things harder than they need to be. Please forgive me and thanks again for all your help.

Re: Dandr ~ Our Summer Reading Program

kelly, i am not so sure that i have every thing right. i wrote what i know to be true but then i was waiting for 2big to correct everything. i think she may be a stricter about it all. i just don't freak if the numbers are off a bit. i feel much like megs does, it's a guide and as long as i am not gaining and my carbs are in check, i just don't worry.

never sit back and not question something. that's how we all learn.

Re: Dandr ~ Our Summer Reading Program

your welcome Jimmie you know how much I love leaking the 2BIG brain.

ADBB has many different bake mix recipes in our low carb cooking school section which is now located in the lessons section. Bake mix is supposed to be a low carb version of Bisquik and is a flour sub and levening agent ususally baking powder. I know Akins reformulated the bake mix sothe Splenda part is a new addition to the recipe. remember if you use the home made versions your carb count for your baked foods will be different.

If you use the ratios when you start sort of like the dashed lines on the writing paper for little kids learning to write you will learn what the right ratio of fats to proteins to carbs looks like on your palte and with practice will be just like the small child doing it by rote soon.

Jimmie thanks for setting this up and moderating the topic for everybody so we now have many mnay DANDR educated ATKINEES who can now become pay it forward ADBB ATKINSERS too.
