Hi -- I'm very happy to report today was better. I might get lucky and only have that one serious day of detox (I hope). I stayed on track today.
Maddy's mom: You are right about wendy's and I have tried the bunless hamburger -- yummmmm baconator deluxe. I think I even felt worse KNOwing I could have that chicken burger bunless, but what can I say -- a weak moment. I was stronger today and had a lettuce wrap hamburger at carls on the way to work. That's true what you said about your stomach having to make an adjustment to not putting out so much acid. You know on low carb I do not take antacids and tagamet like I used to. In fact 90% of my heartburn problems have gone away since 2-27 when i had started atkins. I only lasted a few weeks on that and then fell off into the popcorn-pancake abyss....thanks for mentioning the bakery book. I'm going to get that next. And you mentioned the sausage egg dish -- definitely going to have to try that. that will be the first recipes I try.
Oh, and p.s. about heartburn -- I was on prevacid for ONE DECADE!!!! I finally could not deal with a rather bad side effect that developed the last year I took it. So I went cold turkey and the rebound heartburn was awful, but then I could control it with tums and tagamet OTC. but I noticed when I started Low carb that the heartburn is now almost completely away -- don't even know where the tums are now, and i used to have them sitting on my desk at work and in every purse, locker, car, nightstand, etc. .....so one of the greatest gifts so far on low carb is the lack of heartburn.
Umpa -- thanks for the suggestion about drinking lots of water (I'm doing 64 oz) and also for the heads up about 1 carb per clove.....that is something that could mess me up if I wasn't careful. I have some peanut butter no sugar here -- i googled how to stir it up -- the oil and the clump of peanut butter, in fact, I'd better do that in the morning and I can have that with some celery....yummm. An d you're right, 20 carbs a day can add up very fast (especially with a BUN involved like yesterday) lol
Mouseissue-- I like what you said about "preparation is 90% of any challenge and 10% is execution".....you are right, that is so true...I'll be quoting that. And I'll be reminding myself of that, because when you walk out of the house to go somewhere, on low carb...."FTS" you had better be prepared -- the ugly beast of temptation will take every advantage when you're not prepared. I take cheddar sticks, celery, quacamole, ham squares, turkey or roast beef slices, etc.
Well night all, thanks for your hand holding -- I think if I stay away from sugar that yesterday's may be the worse for me, but i'll be on guard about it for next couple weeks as I detox in case it comes up again. Now that I'm feeling better, I'm going to head over to that other thread and encourage some newbies too. It's amazing hos you can be so down, so desparate, and you crawl on a website after buying a book and there is HELP -- and friendliness. Certainly, the best the internet has to offer.
Nite....
