Guest guest Posted March 8, 2001 Report Share Posted March 8, 2001 Thanks Dwen, Rhonda and everyone else! It was hard and that 1.5 pds was a stubborn one, but its gone and I am happy! I am kinda feeling like Danette though, getting kinda tired of food cause I feel like I have to eat the same things. I am so tired of SALAD! No matter how I make it now (and I am very creative) its getting to me! I need some help in the vegetable dept. I love brocolli and I tolerate green beans, but nothing else Dr. A suggests. Anyone got any ideas...I have to lose more weight before my trip on the 23rd. I am going home to New York to see my parents. I want them all to be surprised!!! Its exactly 2 weeks from tomorrow...any ideas for quick weight loss? Not so quick that it doesn't stay with me though...but like suggestion menus to help me! Thanks guys...Keisha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 8, 2001 Report Share Posted March 8, 2001 Have you tried turnips? I am not a big fan of veggies either ( and Kirstie will attest to that LOL) but I have recently added turnips to my routine of broccoli and green beans.

Guest guest Posted March 9, 2001 Report Share Posted March 9, 2001 How do you prefer to cook your brocolie and green beans? Also do you have a quantity? ----- Original Message ----- To: <Atkins_Support_List > > some help in the vegetable dept. >I love brocolli and I tolerate green beans, but nothing >else Dr. A suggests.

Guest guest Posted March 9, 2001 Report Share Posted March 9, 2001 Marlena, No I haven't tried turnips either. I saw some of the posts that have been going on for a few days about the turnips, but I didn't copy any down. Do they really taste like potatoes? I wouldn't know a turnip if it walked up and started talking to me! (LOL) So someone might need to supply me with some recipes and a description of them! Thanks for the suggestions, I think I will try them and let you all know! 14 days and counting....(until my trip) Keisha > Have you tried turnips?

Guest guest Posted March 9, 2001 Report Share Posted March 9, 2001 Fleurette, I usually steam my broccoli, but not until it is mushy because then you lose your nutrients. I add a little seasoning and sometimes I even cover them with a cheese sauce. As for the green beans, I usually buy them in a can and just boil them on the stove adding salt and pepper and maybe a little butter. I know, none of it is hard, but it is tasty! smile....hope this helps! Keisha > How do you prefer to cook your brocolie and green beans?

Guest guest Posted March 11, 2001 Report Share Posted March 11, 2001 That sounds great ! You've missed a couple of things on the carb counts though, so I looked them up in the USDA database which is the best carb counting resource I've found: http://www.nal.usda.gov/fnic/cgi-bin/list_nut.pl bacon - 3 medium slices - 0.112 (0 fiber) (bacon counts vary depending on brand - check your package - my brand has 0.3 for 3 slices) beans, snap, green, raw - 10 beans (4 inches long) - 3.927 carbs (1.870 of which are fiber) onions, raw - 1 tablespoon, chopped - 0.863 carbs (0.180 of which are fiber) Soup, cream of chicken, canned, condensed, commercial - 1 tablespoon - 1.158 (.031 of which are fiber) Still a great recipe at 6.06 carbs (2.081 of which are fiber for a net count of 3.979 effective carbs for those who deduct).
