Making My Food Plan Perfect For Me

And 1001 Low-Carb Recipes for Life by Sue Spitler are not for real low carbers. They both recommend eating higher amounts of carbs than I would ever dream of. Linda Yoakam who co-wrote the book with Sue Spitler recommends at least 130 carbs a day!!!! No wonder people have trouble losing weight with a "nutrition" professional" advising people to eat that many carbs.

I wrote that in a previous blog a few days ago. Then I was getting that book ready to list on paperbackswap and started looking at the recipes. It has some good ones. It also has some bad ones with higher carb counts and foods I will not eat. I went through some recipes I liked and just made some easy changes. So I think I will keep it. I still don't agree with their advice though as I feel that many carbs is just suicide.

I am finding it fun to take an old standby recipe and take out the potatoes, rice or pasta and find something else that is low carb to take it's place. It is a challenge I enjoy. What I like to do is to make all the foods in our house low carb but so tasty that my husband totally enjoys it too. He really likes when I use the coconut flour or almond meal. I did not like the hazelnut meal as well and will probably not use it again. We love the almond meal though.

I also love to treat myself with a seltzer with one of the DiVinci syrups. Strawberry is my favorite for that. I like gingerbread in my "mock danish". And those two things are what I like when I feel like a sweet. I never feel deprived anymore because I have great foods available.
