hehe Wow! Thanks so much for the input, Yes it really does help, and by the way grats on your breaking 200!!!!!
I go to school, but don't work, so i do have time on my hands, but I am lazy.....It seems that nothing in the recipie section really looks good to me, and when I go to the store and buy beef, chicken, and steak, when it comes down to cook it im stumped.
I am on induction, and plan to stay for awhile. When its breakfast time, im stumped and end up cooking scrambled eggs with cheese, and bacon, and for the life of me, I cant think of anything else. Lunch time rolls around, and I dont want to make a big fuss, So i either throw some hot dogs in the micro, or latley I have been making a salad with chopped egg, bacon, a little bit of cheese, cucumber, and ranch dressing, then I bought some prepared slice louis rich chicken, and I put a few slices on top.
I am kinda bored, and would like more variety, but I am so nervous about carbs and having too many, so i am kinda sticking to what i know ya know?
The first week I did have about 1 bar a day, thinking they were kosher on induction, but then when I found out it was a no no, I stopped, and had a half here and there when I had an extreme urge or I was on the god. And, as of last week, i stopped diet sprite too......
Last night I tried experimenting and i ended making an alfredo sauce with cream, butter, and parmesean, and i pan fried chicken cutlet with fresh garlic in canola. Tonight I threw a steak on the george foreman, and tried making the cauliflower mashed potatoes. Didnt like it too much, but it did the trick for the moment.
As for the cheese, I don't really like cheese, only on burgers, or omletes, and maybe an occasional string cheese. At first I was buying salami and stuff, but I have cut it down to buying a pound of turkey a week, and thank god boars head has nutrition facts at the deli counter in a booklet, so i buy 340 sodium 0 carb turkey. But I do not eat it often.
I snack on pork rinds latley, even put a few in my salad today...I havent really snacked latley, but sometimes i grab a jello or make some tea. I like to use whipped cream in the can for jello, and I hope its ok, it reads 1 carb on the back.
All in all, Im pretty paranoid about all the carbs, which I have said a million times. I am in ketosis, so i guess i am doing this right?
I just dont wanna kill myself with the exxcessive eggs, and sodium, but I am going to try and find some variations..I mean Atkins site says induction all meat, fowl, fish (which i am allergic to) and veggies, thats all that is really allowed. I know that butter, and all that stuff is too.....
Oh, have any ideas for sour cream? I like it but cant figure out what to do with it =/
The recipies are nice, but it seems that they are not "atkins" specific, more for OWL, or other things, so its more LC, then induction friendly, I have found. Well, this is getting to be a novel, I guess I am just venting my concerns to kail, and whoever else stops in! But thanks for responding, hope to hear from ya soon, and keep up the good lossage!
**hugs**
