glutton free

It's always a good day for a salad!
I buy a big bag from Sam's and split it up with my neighbors.
Want some? 
A little snack!
SF blueberry jelly, cream cheese, natural pb, and steel-cuts oats.
"Steel-cut oats," you query?
"Yes!" I reply.  Just a wee bit.
LoCarb is not "NO carb."

Even Atkins wrote that you shouldn't stay in Induction Phase forever.
There's Ongoing Weight Loss, Pre-Maintenance phases, (me)
and Maintenance phases, as well.

Trying different types of protein to see which one works best.
By that I mean - no cravings after the fact.

A little kitten in the flowers. Can't see her too well. Shy.

Back to basics - tweeking the learning curve

...a closer look at the yummy bakery bar...
6 g net carbs for the whole thing...

...cuz you know I'm gonna eat the whole thing...

.....................................................................................
MetRx Ready To Drink Protein Plus (2 G carbs)
The protein egg whites are used for cooking, too.
A little omelette with cheese, onions, tomatos.
Add sausage, peppers - a "western" omelette.
And Chipotle sauce. (Goes without saying?)

From Sugarless deLite... a local LoCarb bakery.
And sugar-free. Nicest guys in the world!

Water, coffee, Advil (Aye, aye, aye a headache, eh?)
Stopping the RedLine - too strong. (Think: bully!)

"art films" are always welcome here...

melon cauli baby


 
One good-sized slice = one cup = one serving
7 grams of 'net' carbs per 100 grams of cantaloupe...
About 13 grams of carbohydrates per cup
Here's a "Carb Counter" link!
*flash* in the pan
roasted peppers, tomato and onion 
balsamic vinegar, evoo, and mrs dash
It was so good, I bit myself...
(On the tip of my tongue.)
Once the bleeding stopped, I was ok!
Gluten-free snack from the LoCarb Bakery!
6 grams net carbs per bar/serving
Hard as I try - 
I am making progress - that's what counts!
Seen here in my Medium scrubs!

My neighbor asked me if I would go off my diet "just once" to go out for dinner.
I didn't know how to respond!  I'm not on a diet, per se....
I just don't eat alot of bread, or potatoes, or rice, or sugar. 
Or cokes, or candy, or cakes, or ice cream.
That part does sound like a "diet." Or just common sense.
"OH!" he exclaimed, "Nothing white." 
Well, sorta. It seemed to be a fair enough trade-off for me...
Not eating those things, just for now, to gain my health back.
My health and other things, like being happy!
Now, they have LoCarb breads, pasta, and sweeteners. 
Some of which didn't exist 5 years ago. 
Many have greatly improved in quality. 
Some of which aren't a bad substitution on ANY plan.
LoCarb (for me) is not just about what you don't eat, or "can not have."
You can have anything! Some things just work better than others.
