Tam tam. I'm also on the golden girls page an first just bought the book. I will read and start this diet for awhile and see if I can understand. May need your help.
Tam as you know I'm also from south Louisiana. So you can understand Cajun cooking. I'm hoping to incorporate it into this one one one diet
Cajun
Morning Cajun! I will help you as much as I can. The problem with diet books is that none of them are written by Cajuns!! Sometimes you just have to wing it. I think with things like Gumbo you measure only 1/2 of the rice because of the flour in the roux and you weigh your meat and then add the sauce. Have a blessed day! I am at work now but will try and post when I get home.
I'm still reading 111. What about diet coke and stevia and cream in my coffee in the morning?
Tam I'm afraid what's going to do me in is boiled crawfish. 6 oz? How are we going to know when we are at 6 Oz when we are peeling and eating as we go. We do corn potatoes mushrooms. I could eat corn (carb) mushrooms (free) dip(fat). Potatoes no problem leaving that out.
Hugs
Cajun.
Welcome mandyfisher!! Jump in with pointer if you have any. I'm just reading the book plan on starting when I grocery shop and understand it more.

Hello Cajun! I still have cream in my coffee, I do not count it. I would just eat the crawfish and take it easy on the crackers, potatoes and corn and the sauce. The crackers, potatoes and corn can be your carb and the dip can be your fat (if you make yours like mine). It takes a lot of crawfish to make up 6oz so I would not sweat it too much.

Went eat at a new local resturant and had a shrimp platter and it was larger than I thought-and very good!!
