Thanks for the recipes - More tips if you have it for the new girls

June 25, 2004

Hello Ally and all of you guys who have helped me out there! Thanks for

the great ideas! I've been getting some great feedback from people and it

really helps. This is a really tough diet and they have changed the ratio

a bit and raised it, so I'm " off " again on all my recipes. I don't know

the conversions (yet), so I'm at my dietitians mercy. She's great, but I

really need more recipes to make this work. My daughter ran and grabbed

the watermelon I was cutting up and walked away for a second. She took

quite a few bites and now I am off again. It's hard enough to get fat in

her! I don't know how to fix the diet when she does those things. We are

only in our second week and she's in " large " , but not " x-large " . I think

that's what's making the difference in her seizures and everything. She's

was really different right out of the hospital when her ketones were high.

(I think) Could it be that her body is going through changes and it still

could reject the diet? It seems she's back to the " normal " type seizures

she was having. I'm hoping that she will kick back into the lighter or

maybe no seizures after more time? Is anyone else finding

that? Also...are the muffins really made with just a pinch of baking

powder? ... or is there an Atkins mix that we can use? She LOVES pancakes

and I've stayed far from anything in that area. I read about it in the

mathews site, but as I am so new (an apparently not very bright) didn't

catch the idea of how it puffed up that large??? Can anyone help me with

all of this? Thanks so much again to all of you out there!

,

the pancake recipe I gave you does use only a pinch of baking powder. They turn

out more like crepes. We went to the mall today and I had crepes for lunch.

kept looking over at mine to see what it was since it looked just like

his. Some people have luck with the Atkins mixes, some don't. There are often a

lot of hidden carbs in mixes in general but not always. Make sure if you do use

a mix, that you use the actual carbs not the net carbs. Ummm I think that's all

I know about mixes. Is there a particular recipe for something you're looking

for?
