This. Some people think I have killer willpower, but the truth is that I don't *want* to eat junk. I don't ever again want to feel the way I used to feel. Most of what's in the grocery store doesn't even look like food to me.

Darn you KZbin!! We are glad you enjoyed the episode.

Talk about not reading the room!

I eat strawberries often, and I tend to put 1/4 apple in a batch of chicken salad. I'll eat half a grapefruit if it's there, but I don't buy them. That's about it. Oh, and I use frozen mango slices to make chutney, but a batch lasts us months!

There are a lot of ways to do this, and if you can get right back on track and are getting the results you want, that's what matters.

Don't do what?

My guess is they mean don't do a Cheat Day.

Normally I never eat junk food. I definitely don’t eat fried foods because processed seed/vegetable oils are the worst.

You can have fried foods on your Low-Carb Lifestyle - just use good oils like Olive Oil or Avocado Oil - not those nasty seed and vegetable oils!

@@CarbSmart Or coconut, MCT, or lard or bacon grease!

Thanks! Glad you like it.

I plan celebratory meals, but with something like 4000 low carb recipes I can come up with great stuff with no trouble. 🙂

Thank you for listening and for your comments. There are conversations and interviews being recorded and actually already recorded that we will publish soon. An infomercial? For types of foods you should consider eating for Memorial Day to stay on your Low-Carb lifestyle? We do not sell burgers, brats, beers or other foods and beverages listed. We do not own any grocery stores or beverage companies but are trying to give you great ideas for planning your Memorial Day celebration. This is podcast episode 9, more podcast episodes are coming every other Monday. And speaking of interviews, who would you like us to talk to? We would love your suggestions. Sincerely, Andrew DiMino CarbSmart, Inc.

Conversations with the low carb/ keto/ carnivore KZbinrs like Dr Berry, No Carb Life, Keto Focus, etc would be great.

@@TheYangnyin I've been doing interviews and am lining up more! Look for my interviews with Dr. William Davis, Christine Woodward Moore NFTP, and Fred Hahn. More coming!

Yup! I make dressing with mushrooms, onions, diced apple, walnuts, and sausage (and poultry seasoning, of course!). I prefer green beans almondine to green bean casserole, though I have a recipe for the casserole. And I make SF pumpkin pie with a pecan crust. Does not suck!

This. A million years ago, in the first few years I was low carb, and when I still saw/spoke to my MIL, TNBIM (That Nice Boy I Married) and I drove the 12 hours to see her. We were going to be there over my birthday, so she said she would cook me a birthday supper. She asked TNBIM what I could and couldn't eat and what I liked. He said I would eat any red meat and was especially fond of lamb, that I'd eat any non-starchy vegetables --- broccoli, asparagus, cauliflower, you know the list -- and salads. What I didn't eat, he told her, was starches and sugar. My birthday rolled around (as it will this coming Wednesday). She roasted a leg of lamb and served it with -- I forget, but one of the green veggies and a salad. I ate copiously of all of these, honestly complimenting and thanking her. But she had also made twice-baked potatoes and bought an ice cream cake. I, of course, did not eat them. She was *furious*. TNBIM was, as always, on my side. <3 He had told her I didn't eat starches or sugar. I could only see her deliberately serving them to me as a deliberate act of trying to get me to choose her, in some weird way, over my diet. It didn't work.

That is a them problem, not a you problem. Keep saying no, then changing the subject. It will become obvious who the problem is. If they catch on and say, “You keep changing the subject!” I would be tempted to say, “How clever of you to notice.” But then, I’m a lifelong smart ass. It runs in the family - you should meet my niece. You might try, “This seems weirdly important to you and for the life of me I cannot see why. How about you pay attention to your plate and I’ll pay attention to mine.” Hang tough long enough and people give up. By the time I’d been doing this for a few years people just assumed, “Dana won’t eat that,” and didn’t even try.

Here?

Thank you! Getting interested in nutrition and quitting sugar and white flour at 19 has been very good to me.

I used some milk that was going off. No egg. 1/2 cup of mix. I didn't use enough milk so the batter while pourable was too thick to cook through without burning. TBH an egg would've helped but I didn't want to blow an egg on 3 or 4 pancakes.

NOTE FROM ANDREW: This CarbQuik Pancakes recipe, direct from CarbQuik’s manufacturer, Tova Industries, claims to make 20 pancakes and yes, you can get 20 NORMAL sized pancakes from this recipe. Some people are saying they make much less than 20 but I think those people are used to the SUPER SIZE, high carb pancakes you get at IHOP that are the size of a plate!

OMG! I never thought of that. Duh. Thank you.
