I absolutely love the key lime pie flavor...but my package says that each stick of gum is 2g. carbs...is that right!?! I mean...I don't eat it...I just chew it! Soooo, do I count 2 carbs for each stick of gum I chew!?! Kinda stopped chewing it because of that!

Thanks!

Hi Dick! I'm pretty new to the forum...but there is a category where we list our menu/meal plans for the day so we can see what everyone is eating! This is very motivational to me and gives me great ideas about what others are eating for breakfast, lunch, snacks, and dinner!! I think that this link will work, just click on it and look at all the things that the folks are eating to get great ideas!

Good luck on your journey!! Everyone on this forum is soooo helpful and encouraging!!

Yummy!! I was such a pasta girl....love the replacements especially this one!!! Can't wait to get home and try it!!! Thanks for sharing Jo!!!   

I don't know if you like vanilla, etc. flavor in your coffee...but I've found that Torani sugar free flavoring syrup (on the coffee aisle) sweetens my coffee and adds a nice flavor (there are many to choose from) without adding any net. carbs...check it out...I agree with mouseissue...don't drink your carbs if you can help it!!! <grin>

Thanks so much...I guess that the ticker is a little deceiving, I put the weight I was when I started trying to lose weight in Sept.! I did lose 5 pounds my first week on FTS...so I'm really happy about that too!!! It will be how I eat for the rest of my life!!! 

I'm at my Mom's in Florida, so this is a bit of a challenge, but I'll post what we've had so far and what's cooking for dinner! 

Breakfast - 2 egg omlet w/cheddar cheese (3 net carbs)
                coffee w/heavy crearm (1 n.c.)

Lunch - (Ate with a friend at Panera Bread)
               Grilled chicken caeser salad w/o the dressing - just lettuce, cheese, & chicken - I brought my own sugar free dressing & large diet coke (2 n.c.)

Snack - roasted, lightly salted almonds (2 n.c.)

Dinner (cooking now)
               Baked pork chop w/grill mate seasoning
               Steamed broccoli & cauliflower (2 n.c.)

If Mom has sugar free jello, I will have that for dessert...if not...I guess I'll be sad until I can go to the store tomorrow and get some!! lol   

Total net carbs - 10  (Is that enough!?! hmmm...maybe I'll have another cup of coffee after dinner that might add another one!) 

Hey everyone! I have 4 very active (on swim team) kids who are by no means over-weight, but I want them to know what healthy eating is...my quesiton how many net carbs should they eat each day to maintain a healthy weight!?! I know that 20 net carbs is probably too low for them...I just need advice on that, if anyone has any!!

Thanks a bunch! You all are awesome!!!!

Thanks for the idea ShihTzuMom1...but would that cause it to thicken like it's supposed to!?! I love the idea of using the Mushroom Alfredo Sauce and gravy...my only possible issue is that it will be soupier (if that's a word) than it should be...guess i'll just have to try it!
