Dinner tonight is chicken breast sliced about 1cm thick, marinated in lime, chilli, salt and pepper. I'm just going to put that on the grill plate to cook. I've made a cheesy mushroom sauce with cayene pepper and chicken stock to flavour, and we're having green veges (bok choy, broccoli, asparagus and zucchini) stir fry/steamed with garlic, seasoning and a little butter.

Is tofu allowed on atkins?

Because if it is, miso soup is brilliant for stomping down an appetite.

Yes, it is! And I must make miso soup. Duh...I totally forgot about this. Thanks, Dana.

I did? The only names I deal with are gluten-free (which isn't necessarily low-carb at all, you can eat all the rice and other non-gluten grains you want,) and the Specific Carbohydrate Diet, which is a misleading name because it is completely 100% grain-free and starch-free--zero "carbs" as the typical person understands it to mean. The reality is that vegetables, nuts, fruits, and even some meats contain carbohydrates in the medical/nutritional sense, so that's why the diet--developed by a nutritionist, and not a communications savant--is called the "specific" carbohydrate diet. It's a dumb name. It's also similar to what people call the Paleo diet, that might be another name you're thinking of.

Where's Bri? She hasn't posted here in a couple of days. I hope she's still on the atkins wagon with me. hehe

Excellent! I've been having the same problem the last day or so. Maybe we're at that stage where our bodies have just started to realise what we're doing to them. lol

Sugar cravings.

The shirataki noodles help because it take all night to chew them.

If you are jonesing for carbs, then your last meal was too high in carbs and not enough protein or fat.

I decided to fight my sweets craving with sweets...sort of.

I went and bought a box of 'Splenda' today, and I've mixed some into some cream cheese, full cream and 1 chopped strawberry.

It's just like strawberry cheesecake.

You could make a base by crushing up nuts finely then adding butter, but I decided the strawberry was probably pushing the envelope enough.

Oh, my - that sounds really good!!

I can never think of things like that. That is a great idea. I'm writing that down.

This is all my baking these days. You can make an amazing amount of "bread" products with almond flour (there are other nut flours too, but almond is my favorite.) Muffins are especially fantastic.
