Lox

  • Is lox (smoked salmon) a restricted protein like salmon or a no no?

    Thanks
  • In my opinion you could have it as a restricted protein, as long as you check the package and make sure there aren't any additives in it. Smoking is just a preparation method so I can't see why you couldn't have it.
  • Thanks. I'm only having an ounce or 2 in my eggs. Just wanted to be sure

    I love lox with lemon juice! Checked with my coach and it is restricted to once a week.
  • Thanks!
  • You got me all excited there when you mentioned lox. One of my favorite meals (and one that I miss very much) is lox, bagels and cream cheese. When we were home for Hanukkah this year my mom was making this wonderful brunch which included lots of lox. I read the package that it came in and sugar was listed on the package. I was extremely disappointed, so if it's packaged lox I would read the label before eating.
  • I wonder if you can have capers on this diet. Can't have them with balsamic in the jar but I wonder.
  • what about green olives with pimentos? i remember eating them on jenny craig.

    NOPE....no olives![/B]
  • Well, after all that discussion, I ended up not eating it. Thought I really wanted it. Has a minuscule taste, and changed my mind. Maybe on a bagel with the works when we get to goal on our "free days". That's how I like them too Dana!

    I've been having capers weekly in a fish dish I make. Please let me know if someone has heard differently.
