That looks really good! And the almonds sound delicious. I just wish I could eat nuts as they are the perfect snack.Originally Posted by MrsPenguin
We had leftover spaghetti squash with bolognese sauce tonight. It sure is filling!

@Nhcris, I bought a spiralizer from William & Sonoma last year. It is pretty easy to use and is worth the money spent if you use it often.
I replace pasta with zucchini whenever I go back to eating well and my family eats a lot of pasta.

If I wanted a time out, I would go back to kindergarten.
Love this thread! I started on the low carb venture the first part of October after a disaster Doctor's visit. My A1C was the worst it had ever been. That jolted me into really watching my carbs to control my blood sugar. It has got to be a lifestyle change and not a diet.
So far I've been doing well even though I have had some not so good days due to traveling. I've lost 12 pounds.
I'm going to look up the Keto as I have never heard of it and see how it is. Thanks to everyone sharing.
WalMart has a really good frozen mashed cauliflower dish for only a couple of bucks compared to other grocery stores around here. It is made by Hanover.
Out of the mouth of babes - my 3 year old grandson said to me as I was sitting down cleaning up toys, "Grandma, your belly is full" YIKES!
I had the most beautiful dream last night. I was in the most splendid garden, and I was dancing, spinning, moving with grace and skipping joyfully. It was not a flower garden though. Oh no, not my garden. It was a garden of bread! Every kind of bread of imaginable. Raisin bread, white bread, cheese bread, French baguettes....you name it, it was there swaying gently in the breeze. And I could smell it all, like being in the most magnificent bakery ever. Simply heavenly! I woke up to Toto, er I mean Lola, licking my face telling me it was to start another low carb day.
Some days this is hard!
edit: Thelma says it was a FLOUR GARDEN
Okay, you all are getting me hooked. I'm so fat now that I can't even bend over to put my shoes on. 270 and only 5' 9". Time to do no carbs again.
I did it once so I guess I can do it again. In 2009 I lost 100 Lbs in ten months. I lost weight so fast that friends and neighbors were asking Sharon if I had cancer.
Here is what I ate every single day for 300 straight days and NEVER exercised and NEVER went hungry. I don't recommend this diet for anybody, but it worked for me.
Breakfast: four hard boiled eggs
Lunch: two 4 ounce hamburger patties and one FULL can of spinach
Dinner: one 16 ounce ribeye steak and a quarter pound of roasted broccoli
Bed time snack: Two large stalks of celery stuffed with either cream cheese or Velveta cheese.
Now the bad news, After the diet and after losing all that weight, I thought my stomach had shrunk enough that I could eat like a normal person again. DID NOT happen! Gained it ALL back in the next 14 months.
I realize now,( in my case ) that low carb is not just a diet, it's a new lifestyle that has to continue the rest of my life...with maybe a "cheat" day now and then for special occasions.

Dude You had me till ya brought up the celery ...i still have the visual of that fb pic in my brain .
Just adding that once in a while I would switch breakfast and lunch around because it's easier to pack hard boiled eggs for work instead of packing the hamburger patties and spinach and having no access to a microwave on certain days.
LMAO. I should post that picture here for those that haven't read my face book page.
