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

Inside Susie's Head - Conversations With Me

Day 5 - 2Week Atkins Induction

Inside Susie's Head

Ring. Ring.

“Hellooooo. Sussssssiiiiieeee…”

“Helloooo. Conscienceeeee…”

“Your going to hell,” the voice said.

“Why?”

“I already have the easy chair with the rusty nail cushions picked out for you beside the roaring fire.”

I replied sarcastically. “Gee, thanks. You’re too kind. Do you have any hints why I’m taking the elevator to the basement floor?”

“I know who you are and I saw what you did last summer,” the voice on the other end of

Linda Sue and Fluffy Chix Do The Cheeburger Cheeburger Twist!

Cheeburger Cheeburger strikes a chord - Oh, I Gotta New Song & It Goes Like This...

Sometimes decisions are difficult. It’s hard to choose who gets top billing this morning, Cheeburger Cheeburger, who became one of Fluffy Chix sponsors of the May 1 Giveaway, or Linda Sue, friend, and long-time recipe queen of LindaSue’s Low Carb Menus & Recipes fame!

Linda Sue’s Low Carb Menus & Recipes is where Linda creates and collects recipes of the low carb/controlled carb persuasion. There are SOOOO many Induction Friendly (IF) and Diabetic Friendly (DF) recipes in her collection, you could eat for days and never make the same delicious recipe twice. Low carbers rejoice! Let the Macarena begin!

Ok, I'm gushing. Am I gushing? *sob* I am.
 

Shrimp and Cheese Grits Get A Texan's Blood Pumpin'

Day 4 - 2 Week Atkins Induction



Low Carb Shrimp N Cheese Grits makes everybody someone!

Who says ya can’t have cheese grits in a controlled carb world?

I beg to differ!

Them’s fightin’ words for “shore”. I had a big ol’ bowl of shrimp and cheese grits last night and slurped and moaned over every bite.

They were silky. They were unctuous. They stuck to my ribs like white on rice. Oh boy! Opey, tell Miss Bea they were shore nuff tasty!

The trick to eating cheese grits is the grit. As Vinny in My Cousin Vinny once asked, “What is a grit?” Well for most of the world,

Day 3 _ 2 Week Atkin's Induction

Last Night's Dinner - Brontosaurus Rex! I borrowed it
from Fred Flintstone and Dino.
TIP - Hungry for Ribeye but can't afford the $$$? Try buying
beef back bones (Last week's price $2.04/lb at HEB). It's like
eating a Ribeye Popsickle but brown. Mmmmmm Brown!
I heart you Brown. I must break up with you but can't cold turkey.

I have a bit of a diet dilemma going this morning. I'm not hungry.

You heard me.

I'm. Not. Hooooongry!

Really?

Like most of my adult life has been spent in pursuit of something to shut the mean hungries the hell up. But now, on day three, I don't want it. I can't conceive of a time when I would ever need food again. Can't think of eating.

You can't make me.

The end.

We all lived happily ever after.

Now mark it down in your calendar and circle it in red, cuz that doesn't often happen.

(I just lost my entire post. :( Let this be a lesson to all. NEVER. Ever compose in your WYSIWYG edit window. Always type it out in Word and then go to a Text doc and then only then, upload and edit. Dang you internet gremlins! Maybe they objected to the poopy reports?)
