Yeah, rightly so, but when ya got gout and diabetes and high blood
pressure, ya gotta be picky.

I saute'd mushrooms with leeks last night in coconut oil with a bit of
garlic, lemon pepper and dill weed. When they were done, I tossed 2 lbs.
of shelled prawns into the pan and tossed them around until they were
just pink. :-)

I then mixed those in with the mushrooms and leeks.

I'll have leftovers of THEM for breakfast. Probably toss some of that
mix into an Omelet with a bit of Jack cheese. ;-d

I'd take pics but I seem to have mis-placed my digicam. :-( I need to
replace it anyway as the pixels are going all screwy. I'm getting bars
across my pictures.

Any recommendations for something under $200.00?

Andy,

Please pick up a copy of Atkins "The New Diet Revolution".

That way you can enjoy eating again...

Mornin' Om!

I've successfully Atkins dieted but I don't need to lose weight. I'm
maintaining at 190 lbs. High blood pressure and cholesterol are a bigger
concern.

Sure, my meals would sadden most foodies!

Best,

Andy

Microwaves do funny things to egg white.
There are these things called 8" non-stick saute' pans that are just
right for scrambling a few eggs.

Yesterday, at 10 am, I had just finished mixing up the tempura batter
for the jalapeno strips and chunks of red bell peppers. I also fried
up 4-1/2 # of tilapia, salted peppered and dredged in cornmeal, fried
in peanut oil. Lots of lime wedges on the side.
The spell checker on Google Groups does not recognize "tilapia."

Atkins dieting will lower your cholesterol, and especially your
triglycerides babe. At least it does for _me_. YMMV as always!

Consume enough calories on a low carb regimen and you can maintain your
weight.

I just avoid starch and sugar for the most part except for the
occasional treat.

Bryan,

I neglected to mention I use fake (Eggbeaters) eggs. They cook up great,
IME. Probably sucks to prison inmates! Been to Alcatraz. I can imagine the
food riots!!! <G>

Try South Beach, Andy. Much less restrictive, and was created for
controlling heart conditions. The recipes are awesome!

I had my early brekkie of two small LC blueberry-cranberry-pecan

will go to what is for her brekkie and for me lunch at a Japanese

Carol,

I'm NOT on a diet!

Given my food constraints, I've adjusted. Plain and simple.

I'm OK (well not always) with that.

Ah yes, Omeletizing things. We share that delight.

I am reminded that the next LC cheesecake I make will be a savory
one, featuring leeks and mushrooms.

BTW, there was some discussion of the price of leeks recently. I
was pleased to find them for a decent price at Trader Joe's.

I was recommending the recipes more than anything else. They should
be heart-healthy, and they are broken into three phases. Only the
first two are for weight loss. The American Heart Association
cookbook is very good, too.

When you have to juggle around a gout, high bp, diabetes diet, it 's by
nature, VERY restrictive.

I'll bet! I don't have gout, but I share the rest of your maladies.
We don't use much salt around here. I'm not a very good diabetic, but
my A1Cs are still 6.2 or thereabouts.

The cookbooks I recommended have good stuff in 'em.

Neither breakfast nor brunch. Leftovers from last night's dinner in the mid
afternoon. Linguini, mussels in butter/garlic sauce, and fresh yellow
squash sauteed with shallots.

Any cookbook that uses fat free cheese and eschews heavy cream could
never be "very good." Those dumbasses probably use egg whites
wherever whole eggs are appropriate, and whole eggs where they should
use only yolks.

disease, they're out of work.

I found a nice large bunch of leeks the next day for a good price. :-)
I only used one of them for this. 2 left for other things.

Cheescake? Sounds more like a quiche?

I did follow thru with plans for breakfast but skipped the cheese. I
did three eggs with a handful of the mushrooms, leeks and prawns. It
was wunnderful.

I did my Airrosti roller exercises a bit ago. I swear the Dr. is insane.
Twice per day I'm supposed to do these. Right. ;-p

My last one was 5.4.
I simply do my best to avoid starch and sugar.
No fruit either.

Okay, I'll admit to ignoring that kind of crap. I lean more toward
Atkins, myself. But I've made a couple of their "normal" dishes, like
the beef burgundy, and they were "very good."

Heh heh heh heh heh!

Do you have one of those new-fangled snuggle robes??

I've got on my goose down slippers but am also hiding upstairs and too
timid to tip-toe to the downstairs back door to check the outdoor
thermometer. The iPhone tells me Media, PA is 30° F.

Best,

Andy

Jill,

I never took a liking to mussels. I guess it was that rule, if they don't
open up in the pot, they're poison, or whatever!

Best,

Andy

I have a floor length, thick chenille bathrobe. I still haven't made
it back upstairs. When I come back from my morning nap, though, I'll
be wearing that robe!

My last was 5.3. I eat everything *in moderation*, including starches,
sugars and fruits, but I exercise for an hour at least 5 times a
week.

No two diabetics will be able to control their BG levels in exactly
the same way insofar as foods that can and cannot be eaten safely. The
most important factors are keeping the weight down and the exercise
up. It's a trade-off, depending on what is most important to one's
health and lifestyle.

Of course, even when I was much heavier and exercised less, I was
fastidious in my BG/HbA1c control. I never went above 5.8 at that
point when I was on oral meds. The weight may have been too high then,
but the BGs never were.

I eat Egg Beaters because they're convenient and sometimes cheaper than
fresh eggs. They're definitely easier to store because you can freeze them.
I don't have high blood pressure, high cholesterol or diabetes or gout. I'm
not on a diet.

LOL! My next meal will most likely be oden or broiled salmon.
Possibly chicken in ginger-garlic sauce. No rice, noodles, etc.

Absolutely... but I have access to that blood test whenever I feel like
doing it. Once every 3 months is sufficient since that is the average
life span of a red blood cell.

I got back in to weight lifting and swimming last October.

I agree it's up to the individual. The above works for ME.

When you buy the frozen ones they're already cooked; if they aren't already
open when you reheat them, just toss them. I've never gotten sick on one.
They're very nice with a bowl of pasta.
