There is a primal thickener that you have to mix with water first rather than adding dry to fat in pan and then adding liquid. I am traveling today and I will look that up as I know that thick soups are so filling. Of course, we can load up on cream in many recipes.
Something like Konjac Glucomannan.....
Sandy, it is roux. You reminded me of one of my favourite cookbook titles (never purchased, just seen on the shelf) from New Orleans, "You say your Mama's Catholic, but can she make a roux?"

Enjoy your stays in Los Vegas and NY!! Hubby and I are going to Toronto (Canada) for a few days in mid-November. He is doing simulator training (he is with Air Canada) so I figured I would go with him as the hotel is paid already and Grammy is babysitting the kids! YAY!! No cooking....no cleaning...and no kids....a pool...and an exercise room....
Ilene and Maddie, sorry to hear that you're both feeling so poorly. Hope whatever's got you lets go really soon.
Maddie, I live in Toronto. If you don't have any other local sources of inside information about Toronto (or even if you do), let me know what you want to do and I'll do my best to come up with some recommendations!

Day 2, total carbs at 36
Day 3, will be low, no food at work, having beef curry for dinner
Thanks for the primal sandwich recipe! That's sounds like a good substitute. I'll file the recipe away for the time when my bread-addicted sweetheart
is ready to switch.
Ah teen daughters ... so cheeky. You gotta love 'em! (Mostly because we were one once
Well I was a cheeky teen daughter, even if none of you were!)

I've had a good day today -- filling eggy breakfast, big salad with tuna (probably should have had more tuna), chicken and sweet potato and kale for dinner. Blew past my fat target of 50% with a 57% and my calories in the 1300 - 1400 range. More fat - check, more veg - check, more food - check.
Oh, and I'm not going to get on the scale until Saturday. In doing that every morning, I've been giving myself a daily dose of crazy.
