A number of our local people have asked that we start a support group locally to share advice, conversation, recipes, etc with new low-carbers and veterans....Has anyone attended meetings such as this that could give me any ideas as to formats, etc that could be used?????

Would appreciate any feedback you could send my way! Don't claim to be a pro by any stretch of the imagination, just thought that maybe ones of us that have been low-carbing for a while could use some fresh insight and also help those that are new to the "plans"!

Any thoughts appreciated!!!

Would love to hear feedback on this, was wondering the same thing about our area for something like this

From what I've seen on television, the biggest area of interest is personal stories, you might have everyone get up and share.
Recipes are always a hit, maybe everyone could bring something for a potluck/sampling party?

If you need a low carb recipe make and take along....
My favorite to take to parties is stuffed mushrooms. I am not sure on the carb count, but I did get the recipe from a low carb cookbook

mushrooms de-stemmed

filling:
Cream cheese
Parmasan cheese
garlic powder or any other type of seasoning you would like

Stuff mushrooms with filling

bake at 375 F for 15-20 minutes.

Very simple, yet everyone loves them.

Great treat or snack for a LC meeting

Thanks for the suggestions.....I like the idea of the personal stories......I can tell mine and I have a few more around that I'm sure would share theirs.......sampling of recipes.....sounds like a good idea also.....maybe even take turns???? Thanks!
