Avocado slices with a little lemon pepper
Slices of beef with kuchela

[Maigrey]

A piece of spicy (leftover) Tandoori chicken.

DH had a piece today and was licking his fingers afterwards. (I had ordered it medium, instead of hot!)

[McGavin999]

I make my own turkey sausage for a morning snack. Lots of red pepper, sage, garlic, thyme and a little nutmeg. A turkey pattie with a dollop of natural applesauce is a great morning snack. Low fat and low carb but more than satisfying.

Good evening carlo. Do you know anything about this product? (WheyLow sugar substitute)

It is supposed to have the same properties as sugar. I'm hoping to use it in homemade locarb ice cream.

Please add me. Thanks

[xJones]

Carlo, good man, you are a blessing as always. However if you don't add me to your low-carb ping list, I shall have to add YOU to my high protein diet.

LOL, let's go for it!

[Rushmore Rocks]

One of my favorites.........raw jicama spears and cucumber sticks drizzled with fresh lime juice and sprinkled with chile powder. Crunch, spice and flavor! And easy.

[Thank You Rush]

Please add me to the list - I want to get on the chew-chew!
Thanks

Now, really, how bad can an orange be for you? And a grilled beef tenderloin has to be better for you than a fat laden rib-eye.

My dear Chefess... I have to agree with you to a degree, but it appears that the strict regimen that has been researched over years, and under constant scrutiny, has somehow survived. They have won the argument with some rather impressive success stories, many are right here on this thread.

Their theory has so far been factually unchallenged, although I have heard a lot of doomsday scenarios, none as far as I can see has been documented. Given that fact, I must be fair in saying, why argue with success.. If it ain't broke, then why break it!!  LOLOL

A giant WELCOME ABOARD!!   Carlo

Okay, I'll take your challenge. Here is a "snack" I've had several times over this past summer:

• Throw some whole jalapeno peppers on the grill for about 10 minutes (until the skins start turning black and the insides are soft).
• Remove jalapenos from grill, cut off stems and slice up. Then wrap in slices of swiss cheese (or your favorite cheese).

I call them "jalapeno poppers" and they are hot if you aren't used to them. But I like hot. And they make me drink lots of water. Also, the capsaicin in the hot peppers help "speed up" your metabolism and has other positive effects on your body. Believe it or not, hot peppers like jalapenos are great for your digestive system.

Best of all - no carbs.

Hmmm...#304 link didn't work, did it?? Try this.

Congrats. Did Atkins for one month in July and lost 22 lbs. Round two starts Monday for a month on my way to my goal of 45 lbs.

PS I went from size 40 to size 38 and 36 is NEXT!!

It is the weirdest feeling.. I'm hungry as hell but my belly is full....Strange..

You don't think? Could it be... that you are..ya know...with ch.. I mean ... nevermind..:)

You don't think? Could it be... that you are..ya know...with ch.. I mean ... nevermind..:)

I don't *think* so.

It hasn't been nine months since we pledged our love for one another.

#304...Put the URL in the link, lysie...LOL

[Lazamataz]

Not "NO" carbs. Jalepenos have trace amounts. .78 carbs per 15 slices, I saw, from a jar in the fridge.

[carlo3b]

It looks as though it should keep very well, even after opening, if it is kept refridgerated. Sounds wonderful!

[farmfriend]

I didn't check this to see if you were on here but didnt' want you to miss it.

[not_apathetic_anymore]

That brining thing....recently when I've been lazy I've purchased some of those pipin' hot roasted chickens at the grocery store. They're very moist and tender and I suspect brined. I finally read the label on one the other day and yep it had sugar listed as an ingredient.

Now I don't know how much sugar but if one is really trying to cut out excess carbs this could be a hidden source.

Guess I'm back to realizing that if I want to know what goes into it... I better cook it.

[hellinahandcart]

I'm on day two of Atkins

Oh, I remember Day Two. Your glycogen reserves have just run out.

Tonight you will dream of large bowls of Frosted Flakes with bananas.
