Question:

/snip/ No one seems to have pointed out that you can make low carb pizza…. something you may want to try.  One way is to use ground beef as the crust (do a search on meetza in this group) or to use a low carb tortilla as the base for your pizza.

Low-carb tortilla? <websearches Like this one? http://www.latortillafactory.com/ProductsLCnew.htm Is tomato sauce a problem? Skinny — pre-diab hypo

Yep, that’s a good one. Is tomato sauce a problem?

depends on how much you use and which one you use. Check the carb counts. I would recommend doing a search in this group for "pizza" and for "meetza" you will come up with some great suggestions for a healthier lower carb version of pizza. There are many creative cooks on this group who are very generous with their time and recipes. Good luck! You’ll find this to be a very helpful place. Susan

I didn’t weigh in at the beginning because I was so disgusted with myself, I didn’t want to know what I weighed.

When I worked at Curves, a lot of women would feel this way. I would convince them to step on the scale with their eyes closed, and I would quickly write it and close the file. They were always glad later, so they could have some measure of how far they had come. LCing since 12/01/03- Me- 5′7" 265/220/140 & hubby- 6′ 310/239/180

Wort is sugar water, not beer. And you call yourself a brewer?

– Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – BTW what’s your favorite brew and how long you been brewing? I’ve been brewing on and off for about 10 years.  Started kegging last summer, and that made a world of difference.  No more wondering if it’ll be carbonated, no more telling people not to drink the sediment or shake the bottle. My favorite so far is a German pilsner that tastes almost like Sam Adams.  I’ve also got an IPA in the fridge, and some root beer. Hoping to move to all-grain this summer. I’ve tried the Mich Ultra.  Blech.  I’d rather have a gin-and-diet-tonic than a bad beer. I also see that Rolling Rock makes a low-carb beer, but I can’t imagine it’s good.  I mean…beer is sugar water!  That’s all it wants to be. I haven’t really had any beer cravings, which is good. But last night I was really wanting Coco Puffs for some reason.  :-)

Hi everyone.  My wife and I started the South Beach diet about 10 days ago.

Welcome!  This is a great place just ignore the few trolls that are hiding beneath the bridge to attack unwary travelers. But I miss pizza sooooooo much. And it doesn’t help that one of my hobbies is beer brewing.  I’ve got 3 kegs of delicious homebrew out in the garage.

No one seems to have pointed out that you can make low carb pizza…. something you may want to try.  One way is to use ground beef as the crust (do a search on meetza in this group) or to use a low carb tortilla as the base for your pizza. there are other ideas floating around too. As you search the archives you’ll be amazed at how creative some of the people in this group are. There is a ASDLC (alt.support.diet.low-carb) cookbook that was put together and is available online. I"ll find the link and post it but if you want it faster it is in the FAQ that is posted daily.  It’s a great place to search for recipes. Good luck!  You’ve come to the right place.

This place is pretty … lively. Some South Beach people here I’m sure. For a safer atmosphere, try an online forum such as http://forum.lowcarber.org/ http://www.wordplay.org/ Some of those big private boards even have special sections for each diet. I found those by searching for "insulin resistance" and "insulin spike" and such terms. Use whatever terms people use a lot in SB. Skinny — pre-diab hypo

Okay I have been quiet as long as I can stand it. I owned and operated a homebrew store for 8 years. We closed the shop about 3 years ago but are still brewing. It has been a long time since I have talk beer to fellow brewers.You guys want to take it to e mail or OT ? MJ

Sure it’s friendly, as long as you learn to ignore that which is unfriendly. — Jean B.

ANOTHER Zymurgist!!! Welcome Mitch! I too a ma homebrewer — 4 taps in the frig in the basement, ket rich with 3 resting — I found that though there are many "low carb" beers available they don’t taste much betterthan water. During induction I think you are best to avoid your wonderufl elixer at this point, but after induction Rather than having 3-4 mic ultra’s enjoy 1-2 of your good beer. Quality not quantity!! I Was doing atkins about 8 years ago. lost and never gave up my beer. I’ve been back on atkins since last August, have lost 25 pound and though I no longer have a beer or two when I get home from work I still am able to enjoy what I work so hard on, participate fully in my home brew club events and still manage to succeed with this WOE. Good luck and I’ll drink a SNPA cloe for you. BTW what’s your favorite brew and how long you been brewing?

Try a truss Seriously, I posted a long while back but have lurked ever since (till now). You *will* find support, as I’ve gleaned plenty by just lurking, but you may also find it hard to "bite your tongue" at some of the asinine comments from one poster in particular. This group also seems to attract trolls from time to time. They must be "food challenged" ones, eh?

Welcome, Mitch and Mrs. Mitch. This is a great place for ideas, information, and support. Ignore the people you don’t want to hear from and read the ones you like. It’s no sin to killfile people or ignore them. It sounds like you are off to a great start with diet and exercise. Good for you! —   Jean M. New food of the week: Ice water. Lots of it. (The jalape
