Tuesday, August 31st, 2004

I am in Day 4 of Induction. I am considering Chinnese for lunch. Can I
have anything or should I just not even go?

Fried Dill Pickles

Tuesday, August 31st, 2004

I haven’t tried this but I found it posted in another group and
thought I would share it with all of you… The lady that posted
this said she tried the non low carb version at a restaurant and fell
in love with them… she came across this low carb version and was
delighted with it…
Fried Dill Pickles
Ingredients:
1 cup Atkins Bake Mix
1/4 cup oat flour
2 Tablespoons Vital Wheat Gluten Flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup ice water
1 egg yolk
2 Tablespoons Dill Pickle juice
4 cups drained Dill Pickles, sliced into 1/4″ medallions
Lard or Olive Oil for frying
Stir Bake Mix, oat flour, Vital Wheat Gluten, baking powder, pepper
and salt into large bowl. Make a well in centre; add water, egg yolk
and pickle juice, all at once. Stir with wire whisk to make a smooth
batter. Cover bowl and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Heat at least 2 inches of oil or lard in deep fryer or large saucepan
to 375°F. In batches, dip pickle slices in the batter to coat evenly
and lightly. Fry without crowding in hot oil until golden and crisp,
1-1/2 to 2 minutes. Drain on paper towels and serve at once. Makes
about 8 servings as an appetizer or side dish.
Each 4-medallion serving is 2 grams carbs.
I hope this will delight some of you… I can’t have this yet as I
am still on a very strict induction.. If you try it let me know how
it is!! I am really looking forward to trying it myself when I am
able!
Peace!

Hi Danielle,
I am on a BP perscription as well and am extremely fatigued. I’ve been
doing the Atkins WOE for almost 4 weeks. I wonder if the BP might be getting
borderline low with a change in eating and weight loss (I’ve lost 12 pounds). I
have an appointment with my doc next week for a BP check and meds
re-evaluation. Maybe your doctor could give some suggestions or work with your
meds to
find something that doesn’t tire you so much. I’d love to get off my BP
perscription, if I can keep my BP low through diet, weight loss and exercise.
Anyone
out there have experience with low carbing and how it effects your BP?

I have been on the diet for almost a month,and feel great, but I have
noticed over the last couple of days everything tastes different. Is
this normal for your tastebuds to change ?

any of the diet rite flavors are ok!
as for the no nitrate bacon, i have not been able to find any around me.
there is an online place that a lot of people buy it from, HREF=”www.applegatefarns.com”
(i think) i checked it out once but it was 5.99 for a 8oz package, didn’t even
bother to check how much the shipping was, i don’t need bacon that badly!
good luck with your induction!!

Hi everyone!
I am back on induction, again, and ready to lose. In the mean time, both the
prescriptions I am taking Altace, and Toprol, for blood pressure, are making me
exhausted! I fight just to get up every morning. Any particular food or vitamins
I
should be taking to help increase my energy? I do know exercise will help…I
just need
to get to where I can get up!!
Or, if anyone else has a blood pressure medicine they take that doesn’t cause
extreme lethargy, I would love to know about it!
Thanks!
Danielle
