Guest guest Posted January 19, 2001 Report Share Posted January 19, 2001 That was stern enough for me, but not for my body. I did make it through day 4 without eating something that I should not, BUT there was no weight loss again this morning. I'm reminding myself that there was also no weight gain. I did drink another 100 oz of water. Does anyone know if you can drink too much water? For my weight I only need 64-72. I was pleased to not eat anything I should not on day 4, which is always my downfall day. Now if I can just make the weekend. Sigh, but I will stick with one meal and snack at a time, that reminder seems to be working well for me. Today is another Friday, so more treats. Well, I'm not sure if it is good or bad news, but it was my turn to bring food today. Everyone else around here always wants carby food, and so I made some for them and some for me. They get to eat muffins and bars (I won't go into the gory details as I don't want to trigger anything more than I already have). I also made a LC pumpkin cheesecake that I believe on a rough estimate count may be 8.75 carbs per slice. That I will have. It isn't low LC, but it will be okay, after all I have had experience eating many many more carbs a day that that will add to my otherwise 20-25 carb days. It won't add that much as it will probably replace a snack that would have been nuts. Anyway, Terry put the guilt trip on me yesterday and I made it through. I didn't even lick my fingers or the bowl when making that other sinful stuff. I had bacon for breakfast. Taco salad (made from a salad bar, so I could somewhat control the ingredients) and green beans for lunch. Taco salad and green beans - what a strange combination, huh? Then I did all my baking when I got home, then sat down to chicken wings and fauxpotatoes last night. I decided to save the pork roast for this weekend as I will have more time to figure out how to do it. I have had it cooked in the crock pot with broth, but it isn't as good as the orange glaze I used to do. Does anyone know if a glaze could be made using SF Davinci orange syrup, guar gum as a thickener, etc? If I use the syrup, I probably wouldn't need any added Splenda would I? What say you? Time for another slug of water, so drink up! Jean 190/141.5/135 12/7/98 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 19, 2001 Report Share Posted January 19, 2001 jean: Well, I caved and yesterday decided that I would be more accountable if I started using ketostix again. It seems like even tho I'm not losing according to the scale, if the stix show I'm in ketosis, I am strong enough to stay on program because I KNOW I am burning fat. So today is day 1 all over again, with the help of my pals (the STIX family,lol).

Guest guest Posted January 19, 2001 Report Share Posted January 19, 2001 Jean: It is possible to drink too much water, but you would have to drink about a gallon and a half within an hours time for it to be " too much " . No, I think 100oz of water is just fine for a day's intake. That quote on how much your body needs is how much you need to function, it does not account for the fact that you may need a little extra if you move around during the day.

You're a nicer person than I am. When I bring snacks to work it is *always* food for me. I usually bring in veggies and a dip. Strangely enough, everyone seems to enjoy them just the same. If it really needs to be a breakfast treat, often I will bring in a veggie fritatta (a giant one that I baked in a cake pan) and people always *rave* about those because they like a nice hot breakfast. (easy to make, take eggs, beat with some water so the mixture is kinda frothy, fold in 1 bag of mixed veggies, I use birdseye special blends mushrooms, broccoli, onions and red peppers, and cheese, bake in the oven about 1 hr. or until it looks pretty done. I spray the pan with pam. So it's not too greasy, sometimes I flip the fritatta out and wash the cake pan out then put the fritatta back in, but that's just a personal kind of thing. >Anyway, Terry put the guilt trip on me yesterday and I made >it through. >I decided to save the pork roast for this weekend as I will >have more time to figure out how to do it.

I know did something with the pork roast using some Atkins maple syrup, maybe she can advise you on what she did and you could adapt it to your needs. However, I can't let it go without making something up. What I would do is just try it out on a pork chop. I would take the orange syrup and some water (Just my personal opinion, but I think straight syrup would be icky) and warm it on the stove and add in whatever other ingredients you might use. I would probably consider some soy sauce. Then, in a little cup I would mix some xanthan gum (whatever) with some cold water to make sure there are no lumps. Bring the syrup mixture to a quick boil and dump the gum in, remove from heat and mix until thickened. At that point you can taste it and see if it's nasty. Otherwise, rub it on your pork chop and bake! A. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 19, 2001 Report Share Posted January 19, 2001 Well, Nan, you have your own little support system there. You can make as many stix people as you need to keep you on track. :-) Well, you know what to do, just dust yourself off and start again. That's what I like about my one meal or snack at a time challenge to myself. If I had to think of it as two weeks of good eating or more, I would fail. I know that I cave too easily and having to always go back and think of day 1 of 2 weeks is too hard. Now that I have experienced maintaining for the better part of last year, saying two weeks is just too hard for me. Asking myself to do it for this one meal isn't as threatening. It allows me to think that the next meal I can do XXX, but of course the next meal I just ask myself to get through this meal, and maybe it will add up to 2 weeks. At least I made it to day 5. I am doing okay so far today, a little higher due to the cheesecake, but that is still better than the other options I brought for break today. Everyone liked my pumpkin cheesecake I explained that it was low carb and make with Splenda and an almond flour crust to help me stay on my low carb weight loss plan. But since I am the only low carber there, they didn't appreciate that it would help me lose weight but make them get fat! LOL I also brought my ISI cream whipper in case anyone wanted to add whipped cream. Well, I think more people were excited about the cream whipper than any of the food options. LOL The brownies are all gone, there are only four muffins left and three pieces of cheesecake. I will put the rest back out this afternoon so I won't have to worry about any of the muffins being left. I wish I could keep the cheesecake to myself, but on the other hand, I wouldn't want to over do the LC desserts even though I could probably get away with it. Today will be my biggest lunch challenge. We are going to the pizza buffet with the outstanding dessert pizza. I'll try to stick with the chicken and salad or just pizza toppings, but I love that cactus bread! Jean 190/141.5/135 12/7/98 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 19, 2001 Report Share Posted January 19, 2001 , Thanks for the answer on the water. I didn't think you could realistically drink too much. I will have to remember your suggestion for the frittata. I thought very strongly about just bringing a meat and cheese tray and some crackers for those that wanted them. They don't tempt me. Veggies and dip would be good too. I will remember next time, it would be a lot easier. Your suggestions for a glaze sound good too. It would be fairly easy to do something with a maple syrup. I don't have Atkins or Davinci maple, but I have the log cabin and that sounds easy. Do you get the impression I like easy? LOL I think this time I might try your suggestion though since I saved it for a weekend, I will have time to work on the " glaze " . I can do the maple syrup idea when I do it quick sometime during the week. The idea of trying it out on a pork chop first is also good, would hate to ruin the whole pork loin if it is icky. I also like the reminder that I can try the glaze prior to using it. That alone should be a good enough indicator as to how it would taste. I'm curious though as to why you would add water? Is there something my kitchen-challenged mind isn't getting? Thanks again for the ideas! Jean 190/141.5/135 12/7/98 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 19, 2001 Report Share Posted January 19, 2001 Well, I spent the day admiring my daughter. She gave me a marvelous birthday gift . . . . as I was holding her and talking to her, she smiled at me, not once, but on four separate occasions. Definitely not gas! And, her umbilical cord fell off yesterday. It was quite a day. She's eating like a trooper, and I put her on the scale with me. It appears as though she may be somewhere around 8 pounds now, up from her birthweight 12 days ago of 7 pounds 3 ounces. Her little cheeks are filling out and she definitely feels heavier. Yesterday afternoon, Kaitlyn and I got out and went down to the Library to 1) show her off to the ladies with whom I work and 2) pick up my paycheck and 3) trouble-shoot some computer problems. She created quite a stir! They had put up a banner over the circulation desk, complete with pictures of Kaitlyn. She's become, in her short little life, quite a local celebrity. And, I checked in periodically to see what my little list family was up to . .. . you are all working so hard to help one another. It's very heartwarming to see so much love flowing back and forth among our list members. Keep up the good work, gang! I'm watching everything that is posted, even if I don't answer everything! Besides, Robin knows everything and I know she'll straighten you all out if you screw up anything! Terry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 19, 2001 Report Share Posted January 19, 2001 >I'm curious though as to why you would add water? Is there something >my kitchen-challenged mind isn't getting? Nope, I just think that (for me) using all that syrup would be too much so I would use part syrup part water. It's just a personal preferance thing. Now, if you're asking about why I put water in the eggs for the fritatta, that's something I learned (okay, had pounded into me) by a bunch of chef buddies. When you use water to thin the eggs and then whip it up nice and frothy the whole thing comes out a bit fluffier. A. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For lunch I'm having hot wings and salad.Lots of cold water (1 good thing about Oklahoma, the water in the winter is always cold because the pipes are so close to the top of ground).

Guest guest Posted January 19, 2001 Report Share Posted January 19, 2001 I made it through lunch, barely. I had a piece of that cactus bread on my plate and gave it to my sister instead of eating it. It looked so good, but I knew that after 4 days of strict LC eating it wouldn't taste as good as I remembered anyway, so why blow it. Dwen is right, being thin is better than a very, very temporary taste of something good. It may taste good for the 5 minutes it takes to eat it, but it's not worth the time it takes to get it back off in weight.

It may taste good for the 5 minutes it takes to eat it, but it's not worth the time it takes to get it back off in weight.
