 P.S. Thanks to F00DAngel for sharing this delightful poem
from the AtkinsforLadies list:
Ode to the Whoosh Fairy
Now I lay me down to sleep...
A cup of Splenda at my feet...
I'll be good and drink my water --
Leave the grape juice for my daughter..
I promise to eat all my eggs..
Now take those bulges from my legs..
I'll eat my pork -- I'll eat a steer..
Just takes these bumps from my rear..
I'll never even look at jelly..
Please take the blub out of my belly..
These lips will never touch a sweet
Oh, if only... I could see my feet..
So, please tonight before I wake..
A few more pounds Whoosh Fairy Take!

How to Be a Well-Bread Low-carber
The Low-Carb Cook's Nook Presents...
The "Well-Bread" Low-carber!
What is the most common answer to this question:
"I love this diet, but I really miss _____"?
The answer is "BREAD."
No matter how you slice it,
regular bread just isn't part of the LC way of eating.
Isn't that crumby?
So don't loaf about...
Get your buns over to the lowcarbcooksnook for our chat topic, Low-carb bread ALTERNATIVES! We'll talk about LC bread products on the market, as well as make-it-yourself alternatives including bread machine recipes, muffins, tortillas, dumplings, biscuits, cornbread, quickbreads and more.
No, it doesn't go against the grain.
Let's rock and roll!

Frugal Low-carbing
 $$$$$$$$
The Low-carb Cook's Nook Presents...
The Frugal Low-carber
Dear Low-carbers.
Uh oh, we don't have rice and beans and
macaroni-and-cheese to stretch the budget anymore.
 What is a low-carber to DO?
We know it's not all steak and shrimp and bacon...
But there's a limit to what you can do with hamburger meat, canned tuna, and chicken quarters.
Or is there??
Join us this week for tips and shopping ideas,
as well as recipes for low-carbing on a shoestring! Angel is on the West Coast and Magic is on the East Coast and we have chatters everywhere between and more... the more people who come to this chat, the better we will be able to help each other with tips on where to find the best bargains.

What's (Low-carb) Sauce for the Goose is Sauce for the Gander!
The Low-carb Cook's Nook
``__D ``__D``__D?? presents ``__D``__D``__D
What's Sauce for the Goose?
 The basics of our diet are pretty simple:
meats, eggs, veggies, nuts, low-GI fruits, and low-carb dairy, right?
We call it our WOE or WOL, Way of Eating/Way of Life.
Well, for many of us,
plain old chicken or fish or beef or pork can get boring after a while.  Take a gander at this week's topic: sauces, gravies, and toppings.
What can we do to perk up our meals without carbing them up?
We will discuss ways and products for making and thickening gravies, recipes and food combinations that might be new to you: the tricks of getting saucy in your Low-carb Cookery.  While various low-carb sauces have come onto the market, are they worthwhile?
We'll discuss them: the taste, the cost... the carb counts...
and compare them with doing-it-yourself!
