Cold Weather Carbs

[jacksprattswife]

Hi Doug!

I finally remembered my password so now I am back!

I lost 20 lbs a year ago with Fattoskinny and have been maintaining it very nicely until just lately.  The weather here in Wisconsin has takien a turn for the worse and sudddenly I feel empty and hungry!  Also, the fake food such as protein bars etc. has started to give me gas.  My husband is a confirmed and successful low fat dieter for life, so i have to have low fat stuff as well as low carb stuff in my kitchen.  The only food we can both eat are vegetables.

I know, I know,  so many problems!  I'm just off to eat a piece of cheese to fill myself up!

Glad to be back

How about chicken and fish?

Good to see you back I don't understand your situation with hubby. Lean Meats, Fish, Poultry, Tofu are all low fat and low carb so you two certainly have more foods in common than vegetables. I assume you're talking about side dishes and snacks. C'mon now if you take a close look at the recipe exchange, the cookbook and the FTS book you'll find lots of choices that are low fat and low carb. Cold weather always brings on the "feeling" that one needs more food. It's a natural feeling brought on by innate survival instincs. Eat proteins, that wonderful Wisconsin cheese you are famous for, soy bean chili, dark green veggies and other "heavy" foods that are FTS friendly, you'll be OK.

It's time to make a commitment again, that's where you are, lean on the forum for support....that's why we're here!
