Me, too. But ... I have learned to make almost everything I love to eat (bread, waffles, cereal, cheesecakes, etc.) with very few carbs. And delicious, I might add.
I have lost 87 pounds, my blood sugar hovers between 85 & 92, and my blood pressure has dropped from 155/95 to 115/65. I still have ANOTHER 85-90 pounds to lose, but I would never go back to eating anything processed, or those high carb meals. I take no medications, either, other than vitamins.
Let me know if you need suggestions on making the low carb lifestyle delicious & fun. No need to feel deprived. (hint: Budweiser Select beer ... )
... jumping off soapbox now
Thanks for the suggestion. I do splurge every once in awhile even though my diet is actually very low carb, almost ketogenic due to a very strong genetic predisposition for metabolic syndrome. Even though I’m considered of moderate weight (5 7”, 135) I still have to be very careful. The diet maintains blood pressure, cholesterol and glucose levels all without drugs.
How about a recipe for low carb cheesecake! That sounds like a great thing to make.
PS- will try that beer.
For lunch I'm eating chicken preast or a 'burger patty with a salad. For dinner I have whatever the family is having minus the rice or potatoes. But breakfast *sucks*! I'm so sick of eggs that I want to puke. And veggies for breakfast...?! My tummy is not happy with that.
Yes, I want to know how you are doing it!
What about chocolate ice cream? And don't even mention that tasteless carob bean substitute, or I may throw up in your general direction.:)
