I need help. Lets Low carb it togethor here. VV!

[ReadySteadyGo 8]

So I was hoping we could do this here. I need extra help. Maybe we could low carb it togethor? Since I am just starting this fresh I was hoping noone would mind me starting a new thread for it at my home VV. The other thread on the main forum is so large and intimidating. Anyone want to do this with me? recipes? Ideas?

I am supposed to be eating this way anyway so I thought I could renew my commitment (or actually make one) to low carb lifestyle now. Protein first, Veggies if room, and hopefully no carbs. :puke:

This is what we've been doing at my house... A south beach diet.. low carb plan.

Sunday night we had Pork Tenderloin (bought one of those bags with the seasonings for it) and had real green Beans that we cleaned up and boiled (not the canned kind) and mushrooms.... it was fabulous and no carbs at all. We put the mushrooms on the tenderloin and YUMM!

There is also this crustless spinache/egg quiche that I make.. with feta cheese, onions and bacon bits added.. WONDERFUL and carb free... I'll have to find that recipe at home. My husband freaks out over it. He says it's the best thing he's ever tasted!

Hate to say it but I don't know HOW to live w/o carbs. Seriously I think carbs are why I am fat. I like sweets, but can survive w/o them....it is the carbs that get me every dang time.

It was my weakness too.. I could eat an entire loaf of french bread with butter with a thing of spaggeti! The quiche thing is very tricky because it seems like it would have the crust, but it doesn't. I do have some carbs everyday, but it's multigrain crackers now and not the other. I don't miss Pasta and breads as much as I thought I would.

For me, I could live without bread and pasta...I like them, but not in the oh-my-gosh-i-have-to-have-them kind of way. Potatoes on the other hand...I seriously believe I could live entirely on potatoes and never get sick of them! :biggrin2:

As low carb as I wanna be, there's no getting rid of them lol, so I just try and keep it to a minimum and have them earlier in the day and cut out the starches at dinner and in the evening like my nutritionist recommends.
