I thought about sunflower seeds Umpa, but I didn't have any around. I had some almonds in the freezer, but I didn't want to throw them in whole. Can you slice almonds?

I'm going to try this, because it looks great, and I have never eaten a turnip that I liked. I still remember that dirty trick gramma pulled on us as kids. They sure looked like boiled potatoes.

When you guys make this, do you use that kind of cheese all the time? I don't think I've ever noticed it in the store.

Thanks Doug and Umpa. You guys will really like these!

Good job Emmitt! It's easy to eat out and stay on the program, isn't it?

Congratulations MommaB!

The picture Doug posted on facebook looks great! I can't wait to try it.

I think the biggest difference between fts and atkins is that atkins wants you to push to find your carb weight gain threshold after you lose your weight, whereas fts lets to stay on the same plan you've learned to love without a gamble. I don't care how many carbs I can possibly eat without gaining. I like eating around 20 and enjoying it.

Emmit,

Go to the home page, hit search and type in pancakes. Jenny's better than boxed are excellent, and the cream cheese one is too. You'll never get bored eating from this site!

hi Southern Belle

When you eat low carb, you don't want to eat low fat too. I eat whole eggs and regular cheese. That is where your calories will come from instead of carbs, from protein and fats. As long as you have enough protein and fat in your diet, your body won't consume its' muscle. Most low fat foods,(like low fat cheese, skim milk, etc.) have more carbs than the natural full fat versions. If you are only cutting yourself back to 50 carbs a day, you probably won't go through detox, and won't get your body into fat burning ketosis mode.
