Thanks Umpa.. I didnt know there was a FTS Bakery book! Are some of the recipes in the book on here? Where could I find this book.. this could be a lifesaver!

Ok.. so last week was a very bad week for me. I practically ate everything that I shouldn't have because of the cravings I get during that time of the month. The 2 main things I crave are potato chips and chocolate! Now here is the catch... due to the caffeine that's in chocolate, for the betterment of that time, I am supposed to stop eating chocolate at least 3-4 days before my period starts because chocolate gives me the worst cramps imaginable!! One time I had menstral cramps 5 different places in my body.. and I swear if there was a gun close by I would have shot myself to relieve the pain!! Since I have started this method I have noticed a major difference.. sometimes the cramps are barely noticeable. Though this helps me, I still crave chocolate, and usually when my cycle is done, I am double doing it because I have been craving the stuff for 5 or more days! What I find myself doing is trying to find things to substitute what I really want.. such as cake, cookies (usually oatmeal), etc. I tried making some sugar free oatmeal cookies and they were the worst cookies I ever ate in my life! I am not a huge fan of pork rinds but I can at least substitute that for the potato chips. I guess my question is.. does anyone have some excellent creamy, savory, sweet types desserts I can eat that's within the plan? Also, how do you girls cope with this time of the month? Any advice will suffice!! I am now back on track with my low carb.. and I want to stick with it because I feel so much better since I have started. My stomach does not feel as bloated, I don't feel sluggish, etc. I just need serious help for this time of the month.

ItsOverSugar...im glad you like it!!  Key think to making a perfect omelet is 1) Make sure your pan is large enough for the egg to spread and 2) make sure you put enough butter to coat the bottom of pan and 3) Don't be afraid to take it off the heat if egg is cooking too fast. .. and Im gonna need the kids to eat some mushrooms...lol j/k Im glad you liked it though.

Waterlilly that makes sense! By me being a dessert junkie, I know I was inhaling carbs like nobodys business! I feel the same way that any signs that my body is detoxing is a good thing.

Thanks Doug... I figured it may be because my body is used to the carbs and how it fills it up, and since the intake has dramatically dropped it was the reason it was doing it. I just had to ask.

1/2 c Egg Beaters (or 2 eggs)
1-2 slices of portabella mushrooms
2 Jimmy Dean sausage patties
1/4 c shredded mozzarella cheese
1 tsp of heavy cream
1-2 tbsp sour cream
1-2 tbsp salsa (I like medium/hot)
pat of butter (enough to cover bottom of pan)
black pepper (optional)

Pour Egg Beaters and heavy cream in bowl and whisk. Chopped the mushrooms and mix in the egg mixture. Take one pan and cook your sausage patties thoroughly and set aside. Take another pan and melt the butter. Pour egg mixture and let it cook until you see the egg fluff. Add cheese and black pepper throughout omelet, and put sausage on one side. On the other side flip to cover sausage. Get a plate and flip omelet to your plate. Add sour cream and salsa.

Thanks guys for the words of encouragement!! I haven't been on here due to electrical issues in the home, but I'm back and ready to write about my journey! I finished the book the next day and started the program July 7th. This program is much easier than I thought! Don't get me wrong, I made a few errors, but overall I'm confident that I can stick with this. I have even created some recipes of my own following the guide FTS. I'm really looking at this as a life style change, and started to tell a few people to come along for the ride.
