Low Carb Chicken Pot Pie Deconstructed

Day 13 – 2Week Atkins Induction

Low Carb Chicken Pot Pie Deconstructed with
Mixed Green Salad and Stuffed Crust Revolution Rolls.

I’ve fallen way behind and the faster I run, the behind-er I get! “Helpmay Jasus!”
This is going to have to be a flyby visit and post for Day 13 so I can catch up with Day 14 and the post about results!

Be sure to check back often, because I will come back over the next couple of weeks and post many recipes from the last 2 Week Induction Challenge. I’m so excited to get these recipes out for you! (Yes, both of you reading, you know who you are!)

Had a most excellent Saturday, we walked. We talked. We watched NASCAR racing. And I cooked and played in the kitchen. No stresses or worries and no schedules. What a blessing to have a day like Saturday! I came up with a very credible low carb chicken pot pie. *drool*

Tomato Feta Stack and Mustard Glazed Salmon

Day 12 - 2Week Atkins Induction


Dr. Seussesque Tomato Feta Stack with
Mustard Glazed Salmon

Thanks for being patient. I took yesterday off, blog-free. I needed to rest and refuel my engines! But never fear, I still remained a sturdy and stauch Inductioneer. I’m on the downhill side of the most restrictive period of Atkins Induction (and also Phase I of South Beach).

This post is actually about Friday’s nutrition and menus. It was another Fasting Meatless Friday – always a challenge in a home headed by a meat-and-taters guy, and 5 sock monkey boys who also think meat and potatoes (and bananas) hung the moon. No, I can’t forget the bananas for the boys. They have them at every meal and

Low Carb Pizza - Revolution Style

Day 11 – 2Week Induction

Day 11 Menus and Totals

Breakfast
2 Poached Eggs
1 c Zucchini Ribbon Salad with Feta Mint Cucumbers
3 c Decaf Coffee, black, unsweetened


(Note: This day is mostly about creative re-purposing of leftovers. It's why I always cook for 4, when there's only 2. That way, I know with reasonable assurance, I can whip a meal together in a much shorter amount of time than if I had to make each thing from scratch, on the fly.)








 

A Free New Atkins For A New You Book Could Be Yours

Great news! I corresponded with the Atkins folks and am happy to report, they totally want to sponsor part of the May 1 drawing.

Atkins will be donating books for two lucky winners! The New Atkins For A New You by Dr. Eric C. Westman, Dr. Stephen D. Phinney, and Dr. Jeff S. Volek features personalized meal plans, a ton of new recipes and you get to meet people like you and me who’ve achieved success in this lifelong eating program.

I have seen so many people from a first-hand perspective lose over 100 and 150 pounds. Some have lost even more! I know of more than a handful who have lost over 250 pounds.

I'm tellin' ya! I. CAN. NOT. Make this stuff up! I can't. I'm not that creative! And I didn't believe it till I saw it with my own eyes, "Hey y'all, watch this!" Hells I'm the worst cheater on the face of the earth and as of today, I've personally lost over 83 lbs and countless inches from my ass!

The New Atkins For A New You redefines and refines the original groundbreaking work by Dr. Robert Atkins and expands on the original tenets of his diet philosophy - control those carbs at or below your personal level for losing and you control health and enhance wellness.

The book cover claims you can "Lose Up To 15 Pounds in 2 Weeks" and that's no lie. Although, I'm a turtle, I've been eating this way long enough over the last 12 years or so to have personally seen it happen for many! Some have lost even more.

Even though I was already low carb when I began my 2 Week Induction Challenge, I've still lost over 5 pounds and have lost over one inch from my non-boob chest (hello back fat), waist and hips! 

Score! Yeah, baby! That's what I'm talkin' 'bout! The scale can lie all it wants, but you can't argue with the measuring tape. Talk to the measuring tape! 

Low Carb Chili Dogs With Buns on Atkins? Now That's Inductioneering!

Day 10 – 2Week Induction Challenge

When was the last time you were able to pick up a chili dog
with your hands and eat it while low carbing?

I will keep this post short since I already posted a long one this morning. Check out the Zucchini Ribbon Salad thread if you haven’t already! It’s TLF (To Live For)!

I’m happy to say I had an awesome Day 10. Delicious food, Induction Legal, left me hunger-free and happy. Oh yeah, I’m happy when my tummy is happy – and full! I also had good news on the scale – 232.4lbs. Yes!

Thanks to my cool hotdog buns made from my basic Revolution Roll recipe, I had amazing! I do mean. AMAZING chili dogs I actually held in my hand – no fork required. What a FUN-ctional food!

Zucchini Ribbon Salad - a light, refreshing
accompaniment to any protein!

Imagine my surprise, tooling along on Day 10 of a 2Week Atkins Re-Induction adventure. Happy, care free. Not a thought in my head. Except supper, or dinner by any other name. And I started hankerin’.

That’s right.

I hanker – especially around the 3 o’clock p.m. Witching Hour. Don’t hate.

I started hankerin’ after a photo I saw on Pinterest for this gorgeous zucchini ribbon salad. Now let’s understand this. I don’t eat raw zucchini. In fact, I have only eaten zucchini, raw, on one occasion in my life. I was 10 years old and Mama decided to “try it out.” She decided to throw a test balloon into the family atmosphere and see how it flew.

We loved it! Everyone, including the family dog, “Cat,” loved it! Understand, back in the 70s when Ranch was new, its popularity blazed like a comet! Why, in Texas,

Scale Addiction And The Addict It Controls

Day 9 - 2Week Atkins Induction - Owning Unsuccessful Behaviors, The First Step Toward Change 

Spicy Zucchini Hash, Fried Egg and Turkey Pan Sausage

Hello, my name is SusieT, and I’m an addict.

They say the first step is admitting you have an addiction. “They” say that confession frees the soul and mind. They say the first step will lead to more steps.

Well, I'm here because I'm an addict.

The scale owns me. Except my soul. That’s firmly in our Lord’s control. But I’m pretty sure the rest of me owes my behonkus to the scale.

I am the scale's little bitch.

Day 8 - 2Week Atkins Induction - Dang! Why Is It So Easy To Eat Out on Induction?

UPDATED: Daily Menu and Totals for Day 8 are posted. Thanks for your patience!

Half Dreamland from Beck's Prime. Is this heaven? Or
am I just in Dreamland?

We’re one trick ponies. I know you think we’re chix. But we’re really one trick ponies. Ok, we're one-trick-pony-chix and Denny is the HRIC (Head Rooster In Charge).

When we find something or someplace where our needs are met, we’re happy, secure, and satisfied with life. We get comfortable. And that is pretty much the story of our “eating out” life. Our dining life. There are a handful of places Denny and I really enjoy and if the name of your restaurant isn’t one of those places, too freakin’ bad Dirty Harry, cuz you won’t have a chance to “make my day.” Nor Denny’s either.

Saturday Mornings With BOB (Breakfast On a Bun) and Daddy

Day 6 - 2Week Atkins Induction Continues

A Traditional Low Carb BOB ( Breakfast On a Bun)
with Scrambled Egg, Cheese, Canadian Bacon

“You want “yor eggs frad or scrambled?”
(Translation from Texan: “Would you care for your eggs fried, or scrambled?”)

I can just see the woman with the beehive hairdo, smackin’ her gum and waiting impatiently for my order. I was maybe eight at the time and I can still remember the feeling of panic that ensued at the thought of having to make a decision.

So many awesome Holiday Inn breakfast selections, so little time. My family knew enough to let me order last so as to avoid a repeat of the old  “I Love Lucy” episode where Lucy, Ricky, Fred and Ethel order at a restaurant and Lucy changes her order a half dozen times.

I’ve been a breakfast lover since God was a child. Daddy passed that on to me. Sometimes when Dad was out building Kmart stores throughout the U.S., Mom, Nanny (one of our sissies, Nan), and I
