Substitute for cream in my decaf?

As you know, this is a true "frankenfood" and isn't ever Atkins friendly!

The ingredients generally contain partially hydrogenated soybean/andor cottonseed oil [transfats]) ... something we should always avoid ... even if not doing Atkins!

New it would happen, new it would be J.

Might be a Frankenfood but 1 tbsp a day is negligible. I can't drink my coffee black, bothers my stomach, I've tried many time. But thats not the point.

Not everyone can be frankenfood-free. Maybe its a choice, maybe its just not possible, and maybe it just takes time...but its an option and she was looking for options. I'm not saying to go out and drink a quart a day, but I personally will take my chances with 1 tablespoon a day.

I'm glad I didn't disappoint! Though why you were so sure it would be me escapes me!

No amount of trans-fat is "negligible".

You're right ... it's your choice.

Good luck!

Veronica, I see you have edited your menu on page 1 of this thread. Don't forget your calories.

Jicama= 1 carb

Where are you getting your carb counts? 1 cup of jicama contains 5g net carbs. And depending upon the color of the bellpepper, it can contain a pretty good amount of net carbs, as well.

I didn't verify your other counts... the jicama thing just jumped out at me, because I eat a lot of it.

You'll notice I mentioned in my menu that the ratio of cucumber or bell pepper to Jicama is greater. So,it's only a/b 1/4 cup of Jicama to 3/4 cuc. or bell pepper. I know that Jicama has a lot of sugar. It's always green pepper. I suppose that should= more like a total of 3 carbs. But I'm very careful w/ carbs. Georcina asked me a/b my calories. I'm pretty sure Atkins didn't want calorie counts. I eat when I'm hungry, like he said. Overeating is really hard for me now. My body lets me know if I undereat. I generally average between 1400-1500 cal. a day. The amount depends on how many tennis lessond I give or if I play tennis.

[Georgiana]

The reason why J. (and then I) asked about calories is because many people undereat, either because they start Atkins with the "dieting mentality" or because their appetite is suppressed by ketosis.

3 pork sausages.

What are the ingredients?

1 T ranch dressing

Did you check the ingredients?

must.

I am guessing that's mustard? Did you check the ingredients?

Re: Coffee-mate

It is not okay to have Coffee-mate not only because of the trans fats, but also because the first or second ingredient is sugar (corn syrup solids).

Unless you did Atkins with and without Coffee-mate while eating the same foods, exercising the same, weighing the same, having the same age, etc... then you don't know how/if it affects your weight loss.

And don't think a pesky carb is negligible no matter where it comes from. How do you explain then that some people are stalled or slowed down by diet sodas, for example? And we had a member (ValidRouge/Joy) who was stalled by HFCS in the tea she was drinking, although there were 0 carbs listed on the label (even though all teas have carbs). You can read Joy's story here: http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.c...d-staller.html (Be careful. What you DRINK could be a staller.)
