WOW! The transition to low fat low carb has gone pretty good except I'm
running out of low fat protein options. I dont like the low carb
protein shakes as the sweet, thick, filling sensations about make me
gag now so I nibble on protein through out the day. I dont eat mayo,
butter or cheese anymore( i do eat some parmesan). I do eat cottage
cheese, a bit of parmesan cheese. I precook chicken tenderloins (one
fills me up) I do take 1/2 of one and add it with romaine hearts a few
scrapes of fresh parmesan shredded on top and a tablespoon of fat free
Girard's Caesar dressing, I eat Pemmican brand Steak tips ( its is like
beef jerky but cubed)I eat Hormel Turkey pepperoni with 4 gr fat, no
carbs and 40 cals for 9 pieces, I eat egg whites scrambled with a bit
of salsa on them, tuna and a bit of miracle whip on one rye crisp
cracker. I can eat like 4 average sized bites of pork chop and I am
full. Roast beef, meatballs, and coarse burger do not settle. I have
tried smoked tofu and it is ok but I dont care too much for tofu. I
have eaten some soy nuts but they are dry and dont settle well in my
little tummy. I do eat homemade white chicken chili with navy beans and
jalepenos. I eat refried beans.Since protein is dense it fills me up
quick so the carb count in beans is low considering I eat like 1/2 Cup
of beans. I make cabbage soup with ground turkey breast ( an expensive
pot of soup LOL) Low carb is easy but low fat is causing me to think
think think LOL. My snacks are a handful of sunflower seeds tyhat I
crack myself, cauliflower dipped in a bit of sour cream mixed with
Uncle Dans powdered dressing, jerky, a premade tub of unsweetened apple
sauce, a low fat butter spread and sourdough rye wasa bread, a sf fudge
sicle. I dont tolerate the buds of broccoli but do eat the stems, I
love the Vlasic sugar free bread and butter pickles and the tabasco
dills. I eat 3 grapefruit sections (peeled) or maybe 6 mandarin orange
slices that have been rinsed off. I mix sf orange jello with cottage
cheese and ad a few slices of mandarin oranges for a treat too. Except
for the jerky and turkey pepperoni my meats are pure. Any more ideas??
Thanks
