I understand how you feel, my skinny DH can eat anything and often does. Just make sure you have some great snacks for yourself. Have you tried the Pizza recipe that is going around. Its easy to make and delicious

Yeah but I dont have the stomach to keep eatin that ... ya know what I mean?

my favorite sweet recipe is the one for clouds.. I however cannot control myself around them so I can not make them but they are delicious especially if you love cheesecake as I do.

just keep your menu fresh and tryout one new recipe a week and you will find lots of things to have instead of their goodies. if it ,akes you fell better get one servoing of their goodies and go smash it up crush it stomp it whatever makes you feel good. it is a very release mechanism for me. I don't know if my post about the cream puffs that followed me home is still around or not.

Dont worry I am married to a guy who can eat anything and everything without even gaining a pound!! He is really supportive of my diet which is sweet, but today when we were talking about dinner he just caved and said I WANT RICE!! So I amgoing to be cooking rice and dying to eat it...

I come from a culture (Pakistani) where eating rice and bread is the STAPLE of our diet...and so are heavy curries and spicy spicy food!! I am on day two and dying but I am determined not to cave!!!!

So I understand your pain!! But chin up we are doing this for ourselves...

What Pizza recipe???? Is it induction friendly (I'm assuming it is but thought I should ask just in case ) Would you mind sharing the link?

It can be hard. We're a family of six, my husband, mother-in-law, two teenage daughters and one four year old daughter (I also watch a 3 yr old daily) and all of them love their sweets. On my 3rd day of induction, I had to bake my husband cookies.....now that was hard. It's weird now though, I'm not even craving sweets....I didn't even want them on Valentines Day when everyone in our house had chocolates.

I've made mock fried rice a few times and really enjoyed it. My family does too. Why couldn't you modify the following recipe for curry and other spices? You can have "rice" while he does too then

Mock Fried Rice

3 1/2 cups of grated raw cauliflower (1 head usually for me)
3 green onions
1 clove of garlic or 1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp ginger
3 tbsp soy sauce
3 beaten eggs
Olive oil
Cooked chicken, shrimp, beef, pork, whatever.

Grate fresh cauliflower, using the largest holes of a cheese grater. You can also use a food processor fitted with the grating blade.

In a wok or large flat skillet, heat enough oil to cover the bottom. Fry minced garlic (or garlic powder) with finely diced white part of onions for approx. 1 minute. Add grated cauliflower and fry 4-5 minutes, stirring constantly. Add soy, ginger, diced green onion tops, and pre-cooked cubed meat or baby shrimp. Stir to mix well and brown a bit. Push mixture to one side of pan. Add more oil if necessary and scramble eggs in empty side of pan until done but still moist (I've never done this well, I just use a smaller side pan). Stir eggs into "rice" mix and remove from heat.
