Subject: Diet boredom? No way!

Hi all

Down 5 lbs at the end of week 1, which for me is pretty good because I'm a slow loser. 20lbs to go.

The last time I did Atkins, I quit because I got sick of eating the same thing all the time.

This time I gave it some thought beforehand and have been experimenting with the following:

- combining meats ..this provides different textures & flavors which can be quite good. So I might do a baked chicken with steamed fish, chicken & beef, roast chicken with fried chicken...

- Frankfurters ..does anyone know how many carbs are in a franfurter? I find that they are a good choice for combining with other meats, they have a nice texture and can be prepared in a number of ways (my favorite..microwaved).

- Tuna .. I've discovered that I really like tuna, so I have been having fun, tuna omelettes, tuna salad, spicy tuna, tuna in cream cheese...

- Eggs .. the old mainstay. Remember each omelette is a different creation so have fun with the fillings. Ham, tuna, vegetables, sardines, corned beef, cheese...
Here's an interesting egg recipe a frient taught me ...
boil an egg. In a saucepan melt some butter, add some onions and some cubed cheese. Cube the eggs and mix it into the cheese mixture..delicious!

- Tofu .. i'm thinking of experimenting with tofu. Tofu salad, scrambled tofu, tofu custard, tofu casserole (now all I need to do is figure out how to make custard and a casserole)

For treats I find that peanut butter is a godsend. One teaspoon of the extra chunky kind is about 2 grams carbs.
Last night I discovered cream cheese sweetened with splenda. And whipped cream, which angel came up with that?

The suggestions you guys made to my last post with recipes and stuff sound so good I can't wait to try them.

And all this from a woman who cooks 3 - 4 times a YEAR! If I can do this, so can you. Get creative and have fun.

Hoping you're all losers this week.

Standard size hot dogs have about 2 carbs per link, but check the label. Yours might be different. (NT) -- Daddy Bill, 11:43:14 06/25/02 Tue
