thankyouthankyouthankyou I am so afraid of starting this and doing something wrong. I work in a college dorm and my cooking options are limited so i have to eat eggs in the cafeteria and stuff.
I ate 2 eggs scramble with bacon almost every morning in phase 1 and had a few hard boiled eggs mixed in as a snack or in a chefs salad with lunch. the book said there was no limit and I am not a fan of the liquid egg subs,so I went with it. the mornings are my fave meal of the day so it was not hard for me. It kept me full throught out the morning sometimes I forgot my snack! Put some mao with sliced up egg and little pepper and I had a quick little snack. Lost 15lbs so far been on SBD since Jan 5th,keep it going you will be amazed..
Read the labels on the fat-free mayo very carefully. They usually are loaded with sugar compared to the light or regular stuff.
You can also make your own mayo rather easily if you have a food processor at home. It's a little harder to make it w/o the processor, but it can be done. I will find an appropriate recipe if you would like.
I saw a no carb ketchup, bbq sauce and others for the first time in the store today. When I looked at the nutrional label, it didn't have anything in it. Now, it was just a quick look, so maybe I missed something on it. But it reminded me of just a liquid with red food coloring.
Hi Cathy! I'll have to check the name brand of the ketchup. It just caught my eye because our grocery store just set up a low carb section and I was just looking at the items and saw it. I might have to try the bbq sauce and see how that tastes. Especially if you put on things that need to be cooked/baked.
Well, at least you know where the color comes from. Does it have the same consistancy at ketchup?

Yes, yes and yes.

Maybe someone else has tried it.

Hi Diane,
I use a sugar free ketchup.

It is not as "smooth" as regular ketchup.
