Bobbi Jo~

Thanks for asking! Day 1 is going fairly well! I've been able to stay low

carb today (so far~so good!!!!)....breakfast was 2 thin sliced pork chops

fried in butter, lunch was Burger King whopper with cheese minus the ketchup

and bun....dinner tonight will be a t-bone steak a few sauteed mushrooms and

a biiiiiiig salad-i boiled some eggs that i'll chop up and put in there, some

broccoli crowns, some homemade bacon bits, topped with bleu cheese dressing

mmmmm!!!

I'm having a VERY tough time right now (as i have been the last 18 hours)

last night i had a quarter of a peice of corn on the cob and got a peice

stuck in my bottom teeth, with my bottom teeth being as crooked as they are i

CANNOT get it out...i've used floss, toothbrush, toothpick....everything i

could think of, i even tried to use my tongue to move it around so much that

i've got the tip of my tongue extremely sore and red....i picked at it for 3

hours last night....does getting something stuck in your teeth bother you as

much as it does me! grrrrr To no avail...although i did get my gums

terribly irritated, swollen and bleeding...and SORE...i'm trying to leave it

alone.....BUT!!! Its driving me nuts grrrrrr Guess its time to see the

dentist

So, besides that....today is going as well as it can be!

<< I guess those carbs have way more drawbacks than even we suspected, huh,

Sherry? >>

You got that right, Terry! My DH said to me last night " guess we won't be

having corn on the cob anymore, huh " ....How right he is!!! What a sweet

hubby though...he had me lie on the bed and open my mouth real wide, he had

a flashlight in one hand and a probe thingy (just like what the dentist uses,

the little metal curved hooky-thing....he's had it from his days of being a

pressman-used it to clean the teeth on the presses, etc...was a new one still

in the sealed wrapper) in the other hand and was trying to get at it.....to

no avail....atleast he tried! What a sweetie!!!

Sherry-who has vowed to never eat another peice of corn on the cob!

GRRRRR!!!!!!!!

[Guest guest]

Things started well today, have been drinking lots and lots of water

and had a cheese omelette for lunch.

I'm actually going to be away until next monday as am going into

hospital tomorrow. Hopefully the food won't be too carby!!

Good luck to everyone on the induction re-launch!!!!!!

Take care,

Doing fine here. 3 slices bacon and 3 scrambled eggs for breakfast.

Not lunch time yet, but my plan is salad with leftover chicken cut up

and mixed in, maybe a hardboiled egg, too.

I guess those carbs have way more drawbacks than even we suspected, huh, Sherry? What a way to find out it wasn't worth it! Even for just a few tiny corn carbs.

Phased induction, what a jolly good idea

For breakfast I had steak and salad

I just started a beef stewesque thing which has gone

horribly wrong but with all food that has gone horribly

wrong - a nights simmering and all is eadable. [0]

I used Fromage Frais to give it some thickness (instead

of cornflour) which is what went horribly wrong. Back

to the drawing board with that idea I feel. Cream next time

I think.

This lunch i'm going to have an omlette of some description

with muchrooms and cheese. I am unsure what to use instead of

milk with the eggs to make the omlette. Water? Fromage

Frais *grin*.

I don;t know whats happening this evening - either the beefish

thing or salmon depending on how brave I am

Can I join in too? I've been on induction level carbs for 3 weeks, and I'm

still trying to keep going and keep it interesting.

Today for breakfast I had:

1 egg crepe (1 egg and a touch of cream made into a crepe) wrapped around a

filling of 2 ounces of cream cheese, 1 egg, 1 packet of splenda and a touch of

maple extract.

Lunch:

Leftover grilled chicken breast and salad

Dinner:

Hmmm, I'm not sure yet. Possibly grilled steak or hamburger. Leftover

cauliflower casserole and a salad.

Ate mostly eggs and water on Tuesday. Today I should be feeling better and

plan on doing some cooking. I'll probably bake some chicken breasts and

Atkins rolls so I have something handy for the next couple of days.

You guys are all doing great!! An inspiration :-)

Low carb thickener agents include

1. Vegetable gums - xanthum, guar, arabic. locus bean, carregeenan ad

others. One or more of these should be available at health food

stores, if nowhere else. They have slightly different characteristics

and uses - some are better with cold liquids, some don't work if pH

is too low, etc. A tiny amount of the correct gums will thicken

almost anything, without added flavor or carbs, since they are

essentially all fiber.

2. Egg yolks - used in cream soups, puddings and the like. Added at

the end of cooking - you can NOT boil the liquid, or you get

scrambled eggs. 2-4 yolks will thicken 1 pint of liquid. Whisk egg

yolks until well blended, add the hot (not boiling) liquid a little

at a time to warm the yolks. Then add to the soup pot, whisking

briskly . Can also be used in combination with cream, for

additional smoothness and thickening.

3. Puree - mostly for veggie soups/stews - puree part of the soup and

add back to the pot - instant " thick " .

4. Reduction - boil the liquid down until thick enough. Watch the

seasonings - they get *very* instense on reduction. Can also be

combined with additions of tomato paste, cream or sour cream for

flavor and additional thickness.

Hope this helps.

glad induction is going well for you I use either nothing in the

eggs, water, or heavy cream depends on the day, mood, what is in the

fridge and carb counts for the day.
