Favorite Rung

[Greeneggs&ham]

Which rung of OWL (The OWL Carbohydrate Ladder) are (or were) you most looking forward to?

For those anticipating the rung, what are you hoping to be able to add and why?

For those who were anticipating a rung they have now reached, was it everything you expected?

I love berries and really wouldn't even miss most other fruits. However, now that I am here I am finding it difficult to exercise self control. A half cup seems so small. LOL

So I am using them in things like blueberry cheesecake or with yogurt instead of eating them plain. Otherwise i will tend to keep grabbing a couple more until I am way over my allotment. And yes, they are living up to my expectations. The only other thing I really miss is an occasional 1/2 of a baked sweet potato (but I have a long wait for those).

I thought beans were the "musical fruit"?
Beans were probably my most anticipated rung - I am there now. But it has been somewhat frustrating because the bean allotments are so small that I cannot really do much with beast - except eat a few of them. But I sort of managed to fall in love with soy while on this rung something I never ate before. Soy milk has moved up on my favourite list.
So since beans is rather a disappointment, berries are my favourite so far. They sure are tasty.

You know, I always said 'magical,' but I suppose 'musical' makes more sense since they do make you toot!

I can't wait for seeds and nuts!! Almond flour, peanut butter, did I mention Almond Flour????

Fruits and berries...

I was most looking forward to beans, but I rarely eat beans now - I prefer berries, so when eating more carbs I tend to go for them.

im looking forward to berries and whole grains. I love blue berries so much and raspberries, and strawberries. mmm. i could do so much more with food if i could use berries.

and whole grains...well i think that speaks for itself. it would just be nice to have a low-carb wrap once in a while, rather than the sloppy lettuce wrap.

Shoooooot, veggies make more noise than beans.

I'm looking forward to BEANS/Legumes!! Well, legumes really because I love chili and peanuts---but not together, of course.

Nuts & Seeds: I love sunflower seeds and pecans and almonds

Berries: I had just one raspberry at the market the other day (they were just getting them in and had free samples) and I want more!!! With fresh cream!!! By the time I get there it won't be summer anymore

Whole Grains: Not so much... I know once I start eating them I won't be able to stop with whole ones!

Beans: I want legumes (Peanuts and peanut butter and soynuts) I want beans well really just soy beans and navy beans but I don't know how'll they'll be without the cornbread
