Really Discouraged!!!

[TabyTaby]

Yes, it helps a lot, now I just have to go through and find which ones are vegan...seems like many, many of them are! Which is great. Here's what I figured today...my husband planned something special for me, before I was going to start this dietary eating plan, so I am starting tomorrow, but I paid close attention to how many carbs I ate, and I tried to imagine that food in sugar quantities...and what I discovered is that I have been eating approximately...you won't believe this...somewhere between 215-300 carbs a DAY. EEEEEEK that's what I'm FAT. I'm 5'9 and I was 285 pounds...now I'm 235 but still, that's why I'm FAT. I'm probably eating like 6 bowls of sugar a day   yikes. Thanks again Doug!!!

Dixie Diner would be a good option I think.

[TabyTaby]

What's Dixie Diner?

[TabyTaby]

AHA...DixieDiner...I thought I saw that ...yes looks good! Is it only online? I'm going to be checking that out very soon. Thanks a million Doug, I appreciate it so much. I've got to get used to ordering online I do suppose!

OK Now you know what you must do.......just do it

Hmmm, for starters, I know I can eat veggies...but the carbs kinda add up quick huh? I could have a salad, but can't find good dressing that's low carb and I don't want to burn out on vinegar and oil (especially since my FAVE Balsamic is high carb ) but don't know what else to put on it. I have some semi low carb marinara at 4gr for a couple TBS but that's not much, and I have some almonds and peanuts and peanut and almond butter...but nothing to put it, since my bread Ezekiel bread is 11 carbs. I love cabbage, brussel sprouts, squash, zuchinni...all veggies except for avacado, onions (allergy), and mushrooms...hate those three, not big on artichoke, everything else is fair game! Any suggestions? Also, off topic but should I start a new thread for this? I tend to get lost in my new topics...

Still haven't eaten today. Seems like the carbs add up to quick in veggies...what to do, what to do?

Ken's Steak House Creamy Caesar salad dressing is 0 carbs.

[TabyTaby]

I think the creamy probably isn't vegan...most cream based stuff has dairy or egg...but I am going to check them out tonight!!! Thanks again Rena!!! Any ideas I can use to build off of!!!

LOL it's okay Rena, I can imagine how hard it would be to remember for someone who doesn't eat that way, this plan is definitely challenging but I am going to prove this can work and hopefully can help other vegans get ideas on here if others come sometime, but first I gotta figure out a meal plan for me, for more than one day LOL
