Jeez - this is so simple, I hesitate to call it a recipe. It’s also good, low carb, and the cocoa not only satisfies the chocolate craving, but is even good for you. Ricotta cheese, though you might want to avoid it in induction (Atkins recommended avoiding soft cheeses), is very low in carbs and [...]

Whenever alcohol is mentioned a certain moralistic mindset kicks in . I’d like to avoid that debate because I’m not your parent, spouse, priest, or confessor. If you drink alcohol and would like to lose weight, you don’t need moralizers telling you that you have to stop eating and drinking at the same time. What [...]

Yeah, there’s a million tuna salad recipes. Now there’s a million and one. I whipped this up the other day and thought it pretty good - a little out of the ordinary. As part of my use of this blog is to keep my own recipes, here it is:
2 large cans of light tuna (I [...]

This is from a recipe lifted from Cooks.com. As simple as their recipe was, it wasn’t simple enough for me - and they are certainly fat phobic - which I am not.
