I like melted cheese so I make tuna salad and spread it on a cookie sheet and shred cheese over it... its good enough for me... I suppose I could add toppings too!

Thanks for the laugh... I will never look at kitty litter or ground flaxmeal the same way again!

Neither will I...

Honestly, the only thing eating the flax pizza did was make me want real pizza. I've just learned to accept that it's gone for good.

There are two other pizza crusts that don't involve flax. One is with cream cheese from linda's low carb site. It's really good, but being a pizza addict too, I ate more of it than I should have the first time I made it. Now I only make half a pizza at a time . Here's the site: Linda's Low Carb Menus & Recipes .

I also made a pizza with Queso Fresco. It is much more difficult to make, more expensive, and the only benefit I see from doing it is if you like a crispy thin crust. I usually make Linda's. It's great. Also, at Publix I found a pizza sauce that only has 2 grams of carbs per serving. The sauce is what kills you with pizza. I haven't done the alfredo pizza yet, but it looks like a winner too.

Experiment with some of the recipes for things you "used to" eat. For most of them there are wonderful substitutes. I had pancakes with butter and syrup for breakfast (5 net carbs). Things like that really make this WOE enjoyable and sustainable.

PS, congrats on your second goal! You seem to be right with Papadeuce. Practically the same start weight and current weight. He's from PA too.

I used to work in a restaurant that had an Aunt Edna sandwich. It was tunafish salad on rye with bacon and swiss cheese--browned under the broiler.

I make it without the rye and I LOVE it.
