Atkins/Low Carbers Support

[halo]

You people have motivated me. I started today, and have used this thread as my rah rah team. Went to the store, bought fresh asparagus, frozen broccoli florets, ground lean angus (which was on sale for $1.99 a pound, woohoo!!), ground turkey, shredded cheese. This will be a yummy meat loaf for the next several days (with turkey/hamburger, chopped onions, tomato sauce, oatmeal for filler), and broccoli/bacon(already have)/cheese quiche for the next couple of days after that. And my girls are helping with the eggs, good girls!!

Im gonna do it!

When I was a strict vegetarian and worked at a natural foods store, my health got very bad. My cholesterol and blood pressure skyrocketed and I developed Diabetes.

Me too! I never made it to full blown diabetes, but I had all the symptoms of pre-diabetes. Now that I examine what I used to eat, I wasn't a vegetarian, I was a carbotarian!!​

OMGosh...I made that Egg Drop Soup and it is to die for!!!!!! I will be making this very often

I didn't use any mushrooms because no one in my house likes mushrooms, but I followed the rest of the recipe to a T.

I've always loved that soup in the chinese restaurants, but this is so much yummier and healthier!

City Chicker...I just noticed you said you were in Thailand...I'm just curious...what were you doing there? My Dad was in the military and was stationed there in the 70's. My mom and I went over there for a year when I was a baby, and Thai was actually my first language. And my first food. Of course, I don't remember any of it

But I've seen lots of pics of me there.

My Dad went back to Thailand for 2 weeks last year to visit, and is going again this October.

Glad you liked the soup. I always add EXTRA mushrooms to keep my hubby and son from stealing it all (they HATE mushrooms

)

I lost 5 lbs since last Monday! Whoohooo...doing the Atkins !! And I feel great!

Had a great steak for dinner with roasted zucchini & shrooms.

And I don't miss sweet stuff at all.
