    Craving for a 'treat' - needs to be low in carbs though!

    Anyone have any suggestions? If you're in the Toronto area, a decent and nice female, then that'd be a treat... otherwise, food suggestions please..

    Cheers,
    Matt

          Low carb treatsies:

          Atkin's Advantage bars (I like the chocolate mocha and Lemon chiffon)

          Endulge bars (real chocolate, no sugar. Made with Splenda.)

          carrots/celery/broccoli/cauliflower in ranch sauce

          any meat. (Careful with processed meats like lunchmeat or hotdogs or ham or bacon...those have hidden carbs. Have a steak and some horseradish sauce or au jus.)

          Apples. The carbs are mostly in the skin, which is fiber and is good for you. Have a small one.

          Cheese. HARD cheeses. Not processed ones. Good are sharp cheddar and mozarella. 4 ounces (four stick of string cheese) is a great snack.



          I'm going to have a couple of burgers myself with some cheese. Enjoy.

            Ahhh okay. I have apples, and natural peanut butter. I will do that.. I already ate meat today.. and such.. Just had 2 scrambled eggs too... I haven't had any Atkin's Advantage bars or Endulge bars before.. I also have cheese...

            Thank you for your suggestions.. I guess i'm just craving some Tim Horton's or something evil like that..

            Cheers,

              The Atkins bars are yummy, and the endulge bars satisfy that chocolate craving. I've lost 21 pounds in a month on it, and feel really good!

              Enjoy...and yes, Tim Horton's is evil!!

                  Tala, cool.. I'll have to try them.. I think I've lost about 10-15 lbs this past month doing low carb diet.. I've "cheated" a few times too.. I think mostly because I didn't know what I could subtitute for a goodie.. I'll have to try those bars though.. They're so expensive though..

                  psyko514, if only I were gay.......

                    Yes they are expensive, but worth it. Takes away the guiltof wanting chocolate and cookies.

                    I can afford them, somehow, because I'm spending the money that I would have spent eating out or buying carb-loaded groceries on those instead.

                    It all evens out in the long run. :o)

                          Only during the induction period of the Atkins plan are they off-limits. After that, they're fine.

                            Ok..Ok..I guess I'm going to have to give in and try this diet. When it first came out, my doc and many people said that this diet was VERY bad for your health.

                            Then came the reports about how surpisingly well the Atkins diet worked. And I keep reading messages like this about how well so many people are doing on this diet.

                            So tell me..where can I find the "bible" or source of good recipes that uses the Atkins Diet? I guess I should at least give it a try.

                                LOL.. Not quite.. Bread has quite a bit of carbs..

                                Check out http://www.lowcarb.ca/ and also do a search on google for "atkins diet" and "low carb diet" ...

                                Basically by not eating carbohydrates (or minimum amount) your body is forced to go to your fat reserves.. You still need to eat a fairly large amount of calories, just not with carbs.

                                          Check out http://www.lowcarb.ca/ and also do a search on google for "atkins diet" and "low carb diet" ...

                                          Basically by not eating carbohydrates (or minimum amount) your body is forced to go to your fat reserves.. You still need to eat a fairly large amount of calories, just not with carbs.

                                          Thanks for the tips & the link. I actually went to google after I posted the message and looked at all the atkins stuff that is listed. Saw where low carb bread is going for like $6.00 a LOAF! WOW! I'm not that big of a bread eater..I think my challenge will be in losing the pasta and veggies!

                                              seriously, unless you need to drop 50+ lbs let's face it, atkins sucks.

                                              bacon, pork rhinds, and butter are nice, but jeesus man, are you really willing to live without pizza, pasta, bread, cereal, bannanas, apples, celery, and all potatoes?

                                              c'mon. just eat five or six small protien rich moderate carb meals a day, lift weights and run. it's really that simple.

                                                      Something that I did as an endulgance on Atkins.

                                                      Get a piece of unsweetened bakers chocolate (4 carbs but has fiber) melt it in the microwave with a 1/2 tablespoon of butter, mix in splenda, and you have dark chocolate. Put a little bit of heavy cream, and it tastes like milk chocolate.

                                                        I'd recommend a loaf of sourdough bread, 2 baked potatoes and some Fettuccine Alfredo to wash it down.

                                                          Not what you asked, but I've lost 50 lbs. in 6 months on Atkins. I've stayed away from the Atkins bars (both the Advantage and Endulge) for the most part. The Advantage bars taste like PlayDoh and the Endulge bars don't taste like chocolate (except the caramel/nut ones that are similar to a Snickers). Carbolite makes a better chocolate bar. It isn't necessary to buy any of the Atkins brand or any other brand LC products, you can low carb using whole foods. The packaged products also have alot of sugar alcohols and glycerin, which are usually deducted from the net carb count, but can still cause some people to stall in their loss.

                                                          If you have a significant amount of weight to lose, I think you are better off not substituting for the junk and staying with whole foods. I have a recipe for LC pizza that uses cream cheese, eggs, and shredded cheese for the crust. It kicks butt. Do a Google search for 'low carb dessert snack' and you'll find tons of recipes and ideas for LC snacks. StacyCats chocolate sounds great. I've never touched a pork rind and never will (blecchhh).

                                                          Carrots and apples are allowed in the pre-maintenance and maintenance phases of Atkins, but not Induction or OWL (Ongoing Weight Loss). In other words, you shouldn't have them until you have lost the weight.

                                                          I have Type 2 diabetes and I've been able to stop taking my meds by low-carbing.

                                                                That's great, Tony. Have you checked out fitday.com, you can enter your daily food and it calculates your carbs/fat/protein, etc.

                                                                I order all of my DaVinci syrups (with Splenda) from Netrition. You can't beat their shipping - $4.95 no matter the size of your order, and it arrives in about 3 days.

I've stayed away from the Atkins bars (both the Advantage and Endulge) for the most part. The Advantage bars taste like PlayDoh and the Endulge bars don't taste like chocolate (except the caramel/nut ones that are similar to a Snickers). Carbolite makes a better chocolate bar. It isn't necessary to buy any of the Atkins brand or any other brand LC products, you can low carb using whole foods. The packaged products also have alot of sugar alcohols and glycerin, which are usually deducted from the net carb count, but can still cause some people to stall in their loss.

                                                                          If you have a significant amount of weight to lose, I think you are better off not substituting for the junk and staying with whole foods. I have a recipe for LC pizza that uses cream cheese, eggs, and shredded cheese for the crust. It kicks butt. Do a Google search for 'low carb dessert snack' and you'll find tons of recipes and ideas for LC snacks. StacyCats chocolate sounds great. I've never touched a pork rind and never will (blecchhh).

                                                                          Carrots and apples are allowed in the pre-maintenance and maintenance phases of Atkins, but not Induction or OWL (Ongoing Weight Loss). In other words, you shouldn't have them until you have lost the weight.

                                                                          I have Type 2 diabetes and I've been able to stop taking my meds by low-carbing.
                                                                          That's fantastic news! Congrats on the weight loss!

(And yes, do work out also). So, that's why all these messages on low carb diets decided to make me give it a try. News like yours is quite encouraging! (though it will be rough making it through the no pasta/bread part! )

Type 2 diabetes causes your body to produce too much insulin, and when your blood cells won't use it, it turns to fat, and settles around your middle/upper thighs.

                                                                                I would give low-carbing a try. There are different plans, I chose Atkins and am very happy with it. My husband started Atkins at the same time, and has also lost 50 lbs. The first 2 weeks are the hardest, but after the 4th or 5th day you have so much energy you won't believe it. You are literally detoxing your body. Trust me, if I can give up spagehtti and bread, anyone can! (and the Keto brand LC spaghetti rocks!)

I've stayed away from the Atkins bars (both the Advantage and Endulge) for the most part. The Advantage bars taste like PlayDoh and the Endulge bars don't taste like chocolate (except the caramel/nut ones that are similar to a Snickers). Carbolite makes a better chocolate bar. It isn't necessary to buy any of the Atkins brand or any other brand LC products, you can low carb using whole foods. The packaged products also have alot of sugar alcohols and glycerin, which are usually deducted from the net carb count, but can still cause some people to stall in their loss.

                                                                                    If you have a significant amount of weight to lose, I think you are better off not substituting for the junk and staying with whole foods. I have a recipe for LC pizza that uses cream cheese, eggs, and shredded cheese for the crust. It kicks butt. Do a Google search for 'low carb dessert snack' and you'll find tons of recipes and ideas for LC snacks. StacyCats chocolate sounds great. I've never touched a pork rind and never will (blecchhh).

                                                                                    Carrots and apples are allowed in the pre-maintenance and maintenance phases of Atkins, but not Induction or OWL (Ongoing Weight Loss). In other words, you shouldn't have them until you have lost the weight.

                                                                                    I have Type 2 diabetes and I've been able to stop taking my meds by low-carbing.

                                                                                      It'll just be weird eating a hambuger with no bunz! grin Are you off ALL diabetic meds then?

By my 6th day of Atkins Induction, I was off the Gluc completely. And try your cheeseburger wrapped in a big piece of leaf lettuce. Good luck to you!

There are other reasons such as my husband being on a different diabetic diet and it was too much to cook two specialist meals but also on low carb if you cheat a bit you are thrown off track totally until you get back into ketosis. On other diets, you can start again the next day or work the little bits of chocolate into your menus.

                                                                                            I let myself have somet chocolate every 10 pounds and it is usually peanut m&ms
