- Low carb smoothie with a scoop of all-natural french vanilla whey protein powder, 3 ice cubes, half cup water, shredded coconut, a little Stevia, 1 tablespoon chunky natural peanut butter and 1 heaping teaspoon sugar free butterscotch pudding mix*
*This smoothie is soooo good! You have to try it out. Just a small amount of the pudding mix seems to go a long way, flavor-wise.

Day 87: I'm in low carb cookie heaven
DAY 87
- Mockafoni and cheese with ketchup - small serving
- Two BLTs with mayo on oopsie rolls
- A bowl of easy chunky chicken soup*
- Turkey and deluxe american cheese with mayo on an oopsie
- Two low carb snickerdoodles**
Exercise: 27 minutes recumbent bike
*I actually made a huuuuge batch of this stuff... I used over two whole chickens. It's so healthy and good and I love having it in the freezer for quick and easy meals later.
**These snickerdoodles are probably the best low carb sweet treat I've ever eaten.... and you all know I have a sweet tooth! This was the first time I've made them and I was amazed by the taste! They were also very easy to whip up. I was in and out of the kitchen. I did add an extra egg to bulk it up a little because the batter did not look like much, and they were wonderful. I also added a tablespoon of extra almond flour to kind of soak up the extra egg. These are absolutely amazing. I think that I will take them to Christmas parties where I want cookies too... and I promise, nobody will even realize these are low-carb. The important thing is to refrigerate the batter before scooping your cookies out. With zero-carb sweetener, these have less than one carb per cookie. My batch made 19 small-medium cookies. Linda Sue was not kidding when she said these are addictive.

Low Carb Eggplant Parmesan
Low Carb Recipe: Low Carb Eggplant Parmesan
1 medium eggplant
parmesan cheese
2 eggs
1 cup low carb spaghetti sauce (I used Hunts Sugar Free spaghetti sauce)
2 T butter
4 slices provolone cheese or 4 oz mozzarella, shredded
Serves four.
Wash eggplant. Cut the ends off and slice in half and those half in halves and again... You want eight even slices, which will be about 1/2 inch thick or a little more. Dip slices into egg then parmesan cheese and fry in butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Fry each side for about three minutes and drain on paper towels. You want them golden-brown like fried zucchini. Place 4 slices of fried eggplant in a greased 9x9 pan. Spoon a heaping tablespoon of sauce over each slice of eggplant. Top with 4 more slices of eggplant, stacking one slice on top of another. Top with remaining sauce and the cheese. Bake at 350 for 25-30 minutes, until golden brown.
If you like things spicier, you could always add in a little bit of basil or oregano to your parmesan cheese before coating the eggplant slices.
Enjoy!

Day 85 - Low Carb Menu
- Fiesta chicken hot bake with romaine lettuce, salsa and sour cream
- 1 strawberry (huge) with whipped cream
- Double cheeseburger on an oopsie with lettuce, onion, mayo, mustard and ketchup with half a serving of mockafoni and cheese and more ketchup
I need to intentially get more vegetables in my diet. I know that I lose more when I eat them.... in big quantities. I am going to make a huge pot of a veggie soup and freeze it in quart size freezer bags... Makes for many easy future meals and when I make the soup myself, I control what goes into it... and what stays out of it.

Day 84 Low Carb Life
DAY 84
- Half of a cheeseburger on an oopsie with lettuce, tomato, onion, ketchup, mustard and mayo
- Turkey BLT with mayo and swiss on an oopsie
- Pound cake with peanut butter frosting
- French toast oopsie with Walden's SF Syrup, one scrambled egg and two sausage patties
Nancy... you mentioned that almond flour is expensive at the grocery store. Did you know you can grind up raw almonds? Not salted ones... I have read that you can grind them up right in a food processor... Also, you can find some good prices for almond flour at netrition. There used to be a site called nutguys.com but I think it shut down... That is where I got several bags for pretty cheap a few years ago. I also have some crushed pecans and walnuts that I don't know what to do with. Maybe some pecan chicken!
I love this Walden's sugar free syrup! It is thick and rich... yummy. Other sugar free brands I've tried, like the Walmart brand, is very runny and the taste is not as good. This tastes like Aunt Jemima!! I like to buy the six packets of it.. and I use each packet for two to three meals... I store it in a zip log bag in my refrigerator door and it works great. Each packet is a full 2 oz which is a lot of syrup. I also ordered a bottle of it because I love it so much. It says zero carb, but I do watch my portions of it because I know it must contain sugar alcohols.

Day 81 and still having fun... with smoothies this time!
DAY 81 Low Carb Food Journal
- Low carb peanut butter smoothie* with vanilla whey protein powder
- Sloppy joe on an oopsie roll with sharp colby cheese
- A bowl of chicken "noodle" soup
- Ham and swiss on a grilled oopsie (panini-style) with tomato and mayo
*My first smoothie!! Finally put my immersion blender to good use. I used Harry's recipe, which was amazing. I made two mistakes, though. First of all, I used WAY too little protein powder, as I could not find the scoop in the huge 2 lb container of it! Secondly, I blended too much, but all in all, it was satisfying, amazing and at one point, I swore I was eating a peanut butter cup Blizzard from Dairy Queen. It is satisfying! I'm going to try another one with the proper amount of whey protein powder and I can't wait!

Day 80 Eating pound cake and loving life
DAY 80 Low Carb Food Journal
- Ham and swiss on a grilled oopsie with tomato
- Salad with cucumbers, cheese, tomatoes, onions and ranch
- Swiss cheeseburger with lettuce, tomato, onion & LC ketchup on an oopsie
- A slice of pound cake with peanut butter frosting
- 1 slice deluxe american cheese
The best thing about this pound cake... besides the 10 grams of protein... If you use your favorite no-carb liquid sweetener instead of granulated Splenda, it's only three net carbs per slice. In the past, I've put strawberries and whipped cream on this... as it makes the most decadent strawberry shortcake... Warning, may cause second helpings!

Day 69 Tacos on Induction-Friendly Shells
DAY 69 Low Carb Food Journal
- Turkey with Kraft Deluxe cheese with bacon, mayo and tomato on an oopsie roll
- Two tacos on cauliflower taco shells with ground beef with taco seasoning, taco cheese, hot salsa, lettuce, tomatoes and sour cream
It was my first time making the shells, but wow, they sure are strong! Like, VERY pliable, strong, can hold a ton of stuff and best of all, these are induction-friendly on Atkins. A bag of cauliflower makes twelve different shells. My mom could not stop raving about how great the shells were. You would NEVER guess they contain a whole pound of cauliflower, that is for sure. There is not even a hint of that taste, in my opinion.

Day 67: Now you can have your low-carb cake and eat it too!
DAY 67
* Exercise: 31 minutes on recumbant bike
- Tuna salad with tomato and swiss on an oopsie roll
- Easy Low-Carb Chunky Chicken Noodle Soup
- Bacon cheeseburger off the grill with lettuce, tomato, onion, reduced sugar ketchup, mustard and mayo on an oopsie roll
- Cinnamon cheesecake with whipped cream
The great thing about the cinnamon cheesecake is cinnamon may naturally lower blood glucose levels. Finally, you can have your cake and eat it, too! I added about 3 tablespoons of cinnamon into mine... and it's devine! I chose it partly because I have no sour cream on hand, but also because of its amazing blood sugar lowering properties!
I'm now down 36.2 pounds and feeling great. That is over half a pound a day! It's about 0.54 lbs a day which seems like a lot. That is two whole sticks of butter a day! Not that I am avoiding butter - that is probably what my body needs the most. Not margarine or "I can't believe.." but the real thing... 100% butter, baby!
I really love eating low-carb and I really am so glad that Dr. Atkins wrote his book back in 1972. If you are not losing as quickly, that is just because I have a lot more than you to lose, I'm sure.
