I recently discovered the Atkins line of frozen meals...they've got them at the WalMart by my home. And they're actually pretty good. Price averages $3.75. Calories range from 320 - 360 and net carbs average 7.
I'm not following the Atkins plan but these work well within the food plan my doctor has me on. |

I am steadily doing my treadmill walking. I walked at high fast pace today for an hour and the treadmill stopped dead, it cut off on me. I guess the motor got to hot. LOL I let it cool off and it's working again. It's used so I am just glad I have it . I just hope I don't burn it up, it belongs to my mom. LOL I am going to check into getting myself one this summer. Maybe I can find a really good one for a good price. I don't mind using it at all because on days like today, it is cold and raining so I can still do my walking everyday. I am really glad this thread was starting, I"m subscribed to it now. And thanks to everyone that has input and shares recipes and info.

Lean, grass-fed (non-corn fed) beef, turkey and free-range/ organic eggs & chicken are some of my protein choices. Always up for vegetable proteins!

I use to live on the Adkins meal plans for years,I kept my weight at a healthy 120,if I got hungry it was because I didnt eat when I should have.Recently I went fishing/crawfishing so my fridge is full of high protien fish.I went through the cabnets today to check out on how much did I need to fill item back up with low carb or no carbs foods then discovered i'm not far off the mark.I do have things like noodles/rice/potatoes as wellas some fresh corn on the cob I put up this weekend as my son dose not need to join me on this quest so I can fix it for him.I already use natures own no sugar bread it is 50 calories and 12 carbs a slice,tomorrow I will add to my stash of frozen veggies as wellas eggs and cheese.I'm going to do my best to keep all my meals as close to zero carbs for the next month,I already check my blood sugar and have a bp wrist cuff to keep a check on that.For exersise I have redone all my exersise equipment plus added a new ellipitical thats an ass killer of a workout.This weight has got to become something that has a healthy reasonable amount,I weighed this morning at 252 and want to lose atleast 50 pounds...200 was always my goal hopefully I can get to it,if I lose more great.I am reading up on some of the recipes posted hear they will be a plus for my meal plan because real people are useing them wich helps a lot.My biggest problem is my thyroids and hormones have been way off tho I am takeing meds to fix that so they are improveing bit by bit,new lab work last week says i'm doing better.Onething about adkins meal plan if you dont feel u are getting enough adding fue carbs slowly to keep things balances is o.k.I shure hope this works I am as commited as I have ever been.

Thanks for the sugestion on carbs,I did manage to get thrue the day with only 40 carbs for the day,that came from one small apple for a snack then some cottage cheese with a tomato for lunch.At dinner I had a tablespoon full of mashed taters to go withe the meatloaf I made,I also had a nice salad to go with it.I also have plenty of cut up chunky veggies to chew on if I need to as well as hard boiled eggs.One of my pool buddies had a dehydrator she is giveing me so I can make me some jerky,my biggest problem with any food plan is I get to just want to chew on something...i'm not hungry just fidgitty I would chew gum but it stiks to my upper plate no matter what I try.
Working out really takes the edge off the fidgets,I have a new ellipitical machine so i'm just starting to use it..it is an ass kicker my leggs feel like jello not to mention the places I never thought it would effect. |

Oh man, I love my dehydrator! I buy sliced baby Portabello mushrooms and dehydrate them into yummy crunchy little snacks. 2.5 carbs for 3 oz which is almost half a container, plus they are loaded with vitamin D. I don't eat that much at one sitting. If you like shrooms try them. You can also thinly slice turkey, chicken, shrimp... what have you and dry it in there as well for protein snacks. My green leafy carb that I also have on hand is raw spinach and I dehydrate that until it is crunchy, stick it in a glass jar with a screw on lid and store it in the cupboard, anytime I need a quick veggie that won't mess with my carb load much I toss a few leaves of that in what ever I am cooking or just reconstitute it. Or you can grind it into a powder and add it to soups or a smoothie, if you aren't really a lover of the taste of it. Spinach is one of those plants that even though it does have carbs, they are so wrapped in fiber, that it has a very low impact on blood glucose levels. So in the lo-carb world, it is considered a free food when it comes to carbs, and remember, 6 cups of raw spinach cooks down to only one cup. You will find lots of lo-carb recipes online for it. Cabbage is another lo-carb veggie having less than 5 grams of carbs and only 22 calories for one cup of cabbage, this goes of course for raw or cooked. I use it a lot to make a Thai Chicken Salad with.
Oops, did not mean to write a book, I just love both my dehydrator and my big ol pressure cooker. Most of all, be good to yourself, and have fun!

Great Thread..
Hi All,
I have recently changed my diet completey and that means No Sugar,No Wheat and mostly No Meat. I avoid meats and all processed oils. I know that this way of eating is working for me because I have alot more energy, I actually feel my hunger now and best of all I am losing weight. The only thing is I am looking for high meatless protein meals that are not processed/fake meats or full of soduim. Also I think beans are a complex carb so I eat alot of them, as well as fresh/canned fish, eggs, cottage cheese, tofu, greek yougurt with my veggies. Thanks for the reminder about the cabbage & spinach. I'll be heading out tomorrow to pick up two big heads. Any suggestions are helpful, Thanks |

I also cook with coconut oil, but do use grass fed butter on occasion.

Follow this link to a recipe for YUM + Good for you + No Cook bars! Great to make up a tray and keep in the freezer for when you want a sweet snack without all of the crazy stuff in it.
This site, Stupid Easy Paleo also has lots of other recipes for those of us who follow a Paleo eating plan, as well as a few other eating plans. P.S. I add unsweetened shredded coconut to my bars most of the time.

Very similar to the Larabar -- I bet you could add other flavours instead of orange/cacao. What kind of nuts do you use??

It is similar to the Lara bar, but I think it tastes better...maybe because I love the orange with the coconut added. I use the nuts that are in the house (unless they are company! Lol!), which is usually almonds and walnuts, or pecans even.
How are you doing with the Paleo? Any new awesome recipes to share?

I have a few-- but I'll share more later this weekend. Its time for bed-- early start tomorrow to farmers market.
It's going good-- I've slipped a few times eating a grain or two, but its getting easier to realize what is and isn't Paleo. I thought I would have a hard time with making dinners, but really my issue is breakfast. I always usually ate the same thing but I just can't seem to get the breakfast issue down yet. Any suggestions? I have found an excellent recipe for "cereal" which I cannot wait to try-- its a nut base with coconut. Let me go find it-- http://jennsraq.com/2013/07/paleo-cereal.html. I can't always eat eggs everyday, doesn't matter how I prepare them, by day 3 I'm done for the week. I'm not sure if I'm 100 percent Paleo but that's okay-- I'm doing my best. and Karla she's doing pretty good too. Its been harder for her, I think. She misses her bread and other treats. My one thing I really miss is pizza-- <sigh> I haven't tried any of these yet-- but its a great idea. http://hollywouldifshecould.net/2011...ckpot-recipes/ and here are a few links-- I've been looking at http://paleospirit.com/2013/paleo-banana-pancakes/ (going to attempt these this weekend) and if you haven't seen this gal's web page you should-- http://nomnompaleo.com/post/39832097...sian-meatballs Okay, more later--night, night. |

Good links AHK!
Here is a cool pic that may help those who are new to Paleo. P.S. I just saw the part about the sweet potato and disagree with that. Eat the sweet potato if you want it, but limit your intake of it IF you are intentionally trying to drop a few pounds. Image removed!

I didn't like it either, which is why I put a statement in the post about it. If it is creating issues for people then I will ask admin to remove it.
