Yikes, I can't imagine drinking that much Coke. I really don't like soft drinks but especially colas. Something about the way they fizz up the back of my nose and make me burp.
I'm still struggling to get 80 oz of plain water into me every day. Not doing too well today. I manage to get by on just two cups of half-decaff each morning and occasionally I'll have a cup of tea in the afternoon but if I drink to many other liquids, I just can't manage all the water.
Yesterday I made that Ricotta-Jello dessert somebody posted. Who was that? Anyhow, thanks, it's quite good and filling. More filling than plain diet jello.
If you're not into all the fuss of making a salad every day, here's what I do. I chop up a whole head of raw cauliflower, a few green onions. a couple of red and/or green bell peppers, cucumber or raw zucchini, seeded tomato and celery (or any combination of raw low carb veggies that you like. I mix them all together in a Tupperware container and keep it in the fridge. Then I mix up a small jar with olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, pepper and grainy Dijon mustard and just a dash of sweetener. Don't refrigerate this, though, as the oil thickens up. Then I just scoop out a cupful of this crunchy salad and add some dressing and there's my salad. Today I had it with leftover cooked chicken breast and some sliced water chestnuts were added in as well. Very easy and filling.
