Lowcarbfriend

I am so sorry to start yet another thread. I also have not had the time to get the Atkins book. I really hope to get it this weekend since I’ll have Saturday, Sunday, and Monday to relax. I hope to be able to read some.

Anyways, I have been SOOO tired this week and EXTREMELY busy. I get up at 6am to get ready, blah blah blah … in school by 9am, get out at 5pm (yes, 9-5 straight), home by 6-6:30pm depending on traffic, etc. I also still have to cook, clean, help my husband take care of animals, study and/or write papers, etc. BUSY!!

I desperately need ya’ll’s help. I REALLY want to start Induction so I can get started on this. Can ANYONE, SOMEONE please crank me out an Induction menu to get me started at least for the next week or 2 until I can get to that comfortable point of making my own, and giving me the time to read/understand the book, etc. I also hope to go grocery shopping this weekend. I need ideas that are fast (esp. for breakfast/lunch; dinner no longer than 30min or so) and inexpensive!

If ya’ll lived close, I’d give ya a free facial or haircut/shampoo. But, since majority doesn’t, I will love you forever! LOL! I would MORE than appreciate it. I’ve tried reading some information here & there but by the time I even start to get remotely close to a menu, my eyes start to slowly shut, HA!

THANKS IN ADVANCE!!

PS. Oh yeah, I normally shop at Wal-Mart, Save A Lot, or Kroger. Any of those 3 places will do. (Save A Lot for chicken; the deals are awesome!) If you do give ideas & can give labels/brand types, I would loooove that.

I can feel my bones!! Lol! Well, actually I can SEE my bones!! I can see the bone in my wrists! I can see the bone in my ankles! I can see all the bones in my feet! I can see the bones in my knees! I can see my cheek bones! And I am even starting to see my jaw line! And when I lay down I can feel my pelvic bones!! WOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

The real prize will be when I can see my collar bones!!!!! Come on COLLAR BONES!! Lol!

there is a salad that I just love to eat. I go nuts over this but it is not LC. BUT has many ingredients in it that are legal for Atkins. I am begging for someone out there to help me in making this so it can be LC. So we can all enjoy it …….. PLEEEEEEEEEEEEASE

NAPA CABBAGE SALAD
1-Head Napa Cabbage (slivered)
6 Green onions , (sliced thinly)
1/2 cup Sunflower Seeds
1/2 cup slivered Almonds
2 packages Ramon Noodles UNCOOKED,Broken up

Saute Nuts, Seeds, and Noodles in 1/4 cup butter and 1TBSP Sugar until golden brown, watch carefully do it does not burn

DRESSING
1 cup Salad Oil
3TBSP Soy Sauce
2/3 cup sugar
1/2 cup vinegar (i used apple cider or wine vinegar) yum
1/2 tsp salt
Heat until sugar melts. Cool. Assemble all ingredients at the last minute makes 10 to 12 servings. But is great after it sets over night.

This is delicious the crunch of all the ingredients with the cabbage is great.

Do any of you out there think you have any ideas to make it more LC??????????? Napa cabbage is sooooooooooooooooo good.

We all get heavier as we get older because there’s a lot more information in our heads. So I’m not fat, I’m just really intelligent and my head couldn’t hold any more so it started filling up the rest of me!
That’s my story
and I’m sticking to it!
