you have further reason to be proud..the discipline as Michelle says ..the first 3 days are a BEAR!! after I have been on a mini-vacation/cruise.. to get back in the swing..plus having vanity in as a sin helps..=eek..the thought of really letting myself go, and then having to "look at myself".. can curb my yummo attacks..!!( and the final straw of saying to Mark-yuppers I cannot keep away from the trough enough to not need an entire new real people AND cruise wardrobe..
..).... That thought alone can make me stick to low carbs..yikes!!
I have been under MD care on my low carb health plan for 21 years..and a grand total of 26 years of under 2 MD's.. and has been said it's tricky in that you have to really be firm on certain alloted things.. and I have been further graced with naturally low blood pressure , and genetically graced with a "good cholesterol" number that is triple most folks ( thanks Momma!!..as is touted on a certain commercial..)..it really is true about family genetics on those lipids .. but the one saving grace I have in the last 3 years...*sigh* my job..I used a pedometer for a few weeks.. when you truck between 7-11 miles A DAY!! at my nurse job.. all that walking/zooming sure wails down those carbs..
keep it up Dear Paesana..=hugs..Joanne

What I do is combine 2 portions of veggies (I'm allowed 3 per day) - 1/2 cup eggplant, 1/2 cup diced canned tomatoes and cook slowly on the stovetop until the eggplant is done. I have to add salt (for electrolytes). Even without this diet, I normally have my food much blander than most people would like, so that part hasn't been an issue for me. Some veggies are measured by 1/2 cup, some by the size - for example, 1 green pepper is one portion, but only 1/2 cucumber is one portion. That manual of do's and don'ts in my bible right now.
