I did get it from FreshDirect. They let you sort results by nutrition, and that was the lowest-carb sauce.
There are 26 net carbs in the entire recipe. I usually cut mine into 8 slices, so that's 3.25 carbs per slice.
What a terrible-sounding meal! I was so excited to see you near my 'hood, but it seems like this was disappointment after disappointment. Thank god for the olive oil cake.
These pictures look surprisingly great! I especially love the beet one. Even a phone camera can't keep you down.
Cute stuff! Feeling like I could bring those chopsticks with me everywhere, make my life so much easier, and not be the least bit embarrassed. Maybe I need to buy them for a certain friend of ours who absolutely can't use chopsticks and just shamefully asks for a fork everywhere instead of faking it like the rest of us.
Yes! Girl-next-door with spider lashes and her tongue out gets them every time. I want there to be a feminist message to this, too, though. "Work out your urges on sugary foods, and you won't have any room for your boyfriend."
Ugh, not having support from your family is the hardest thing. My boyfriend doesn't agree with low-carbing, but he at least tries to eat low-calorie, so I don't have to sit and watch him chow down in chicken fingers and fries every night. I just keep telling myself that this is right FOR ME and that I have to eat this way no matter what's going on around me. For me, the balance is eating at least two low-carb meals a day. If I know I'm going to want a bad dinner with friends, I always eat a healthy lunch. I wonder if your family would be willing to do that.
So glad you commented, Jennifer, and I do hope this kind of thinking gets you back on track like you want to be. I've found that it's so much easier for me to eat two low-carb meals a day if I know I get to enjoy whatever I want for dinner. Have you read up on the Belly Fat Cure at all? What you're doing with the one carb and 5 grams of sugar per meal sounds very similar.
Knowing that I may have an excuse to eat more salt just made my day.
Thanks for all of these tips!
That's always been a problem for me, too. I'll do the induction phase for way too long and think, "I can't possibly live like this forever! Maybe I'll switch to a low-calorie diet instead; that's more doable." Well, of COURSE I can't live like that forever. I'm not supposed to! When I see how other low-carbers are doing this for life by figuring out how to make their favourite foods lower-carb, I'm so inspired. Even just knowing that I can maintain my weight by eating two low-carb meals a day gives me such hope. I hope you stick with it!
Thanks! I was just checking out your blog and loved your post about all of the different types of beads. I'm not very crafty myself, but I love to look at that kind of thing!
