Have you had all your carbs??

If not, get a Milk Chocolate Carbolite bar, melt it in the microwave and mix it with whip cream. It's yummy and very low in carbs!

YOU CAN do this!!

Two Angels to my rescue ALREADY!!!! THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!

TigH- I would go paint my fingernails, but I chewed them all off today!!

Kelsie- that sounds so yummy!!!!!!!!!!! Where do I get those bars?

 

[Kelsie]

Do you have a Walgreens Drug Store? They have them there!

You aren't supposed to eat zero carbs, sweetie. You get <20 each day. Eat some string cheese, 10-20 green olives. Eat some PROTEIN with fat, to take away those hungries. I wish you were closer, I would bring you a carbolite bar.

Kelsie is right, you can do this, I know you can. Don't make me have to come over there

no carbs....you mean low carbs right. No carbs is not good for you. There are lots of low carb snacks...a salad, I love Endulge bars, when I have a sweet tooth I do a teaspoon of creamcheese with dulce de leche sf carb free syrup. how about an ounce of nuts...pork rinds...cheese??

 

[nativetxn]

Oooh, sugar free jello with whipped cream, yummy

nativetxn- I have had some carbs today- 18 so far- I needed to keep my sugar levels even. ANd I had string cheese and good for me things to eat today. I just am really craving the carbs- is it always that fast for people who go on an Atkins like diet??? I know if I can get through the first 3 days I'll be ok. I just need to get out of the house! When my husband gets home- I'm going to get those carbolite bars!!! Maybe my reaction is severe because I'm diabetic. Dr. said it was ok to try this- just cut my meds in half because my sugar goes too low when I eat the way I'm supposed to- looks like I'm gonna have a real good time experimenting in the next few weeks!!! BUT I AM BOUND AND DETERMINED!!!!!!!

Thank you all sooooo much for posting so quickly- it's really helping!! AS long as I have you guys- I think I'll be able to do this!

And- you'd be proud to know I'm thinking like you already- I made SF jello this afternoon and have whipped creme ready to go- as soon as it jello sets- which won't be for all time and eternity!!!!!!!!!!!

And we are always here if you need us.

If you can make it the first 4 days you will be fine. You just need to get used to not having your blood sugar spiking up and down.

You are addicted to carbohydrates but after a few days the hard part will be over. My husband swears that is true.

You can do this, just don't get sick.

Be sure to eat lots of protein thru the day! For a treat try a glass of diet rootbeer with a little heavy cream. Close your eyes and you'll think you're drinking a rootbeer float!

Don't worry --- it a couple days you'll have to remind yourself to eat and your cravings will be gone!

 

[karebear1]

Believe me- I can hardly wait for a couple of days to go by!!
I LOVE your idea about rootbeer and whipped creme...but, it's hard to believe that there is not some of Kelsie's influence behind that!! Keep the good ideas coming- I'm making a list that will be checked MORE then twice I'm sure!!!


And- just to let you all know- this too, has FINALLY passed- craving GONE!!!! ANd I made it through it thanks to you!

 

[Kelsie]

Nope, Ive never tried Root Beer and Whipped Cream (but, i'm going to now!! )

 

[wovenwonder]

I actually use root beer and 'heavy' cream. Not the Redi Whip! I can see Kelsie now --- One swig of root beer and a squirt of redi whip to follow!

 

[karebear1]

ROTFLOL!!!!!!!!!!!! You people are soooo funny- I'm just gonna love these boards and my new friends! I think we should have a Dis Meet at WDW sometime- I could just see us all at the restaurants together- and they think the Golden Girls were funny!
