I am working with an endocrinologist as well and she said to try to stick with it until my insulin levels reach normal levels again and I can hopefully stop taking the medication I take to decrease the insulin resistance. In less than three weeks I have been able to get them down dramatically (from 47 to 29 ) but they need to get below 20 to be considered normal and even at that point I could easily become severely resistent again if I go carb crazy. I am currently completely stalled as well so we (doc and I) figured, try it for month and then get some more blood work to see what's going on. Thanks so much though!! I am so glad to have people looking out for me! I appreciate it and learn a lot from you all!!:hug:
Just making sure you aren't sticking to it for vain reasons :) Good to know that it is working your insulin resistance!

Wow, that's a great idea, Zeff! :drool: I'd never had parm as an "eating" cheese before (you know, for just snacking on instead of mixing in dishes) until I went to a party where they had it on a cheese platter. It's AMAZING! :love: Like an explosion of tartness in your mouth. So fantastic and definitely worth trying, Chickies (and Matt!)!

Some of my favorite snacks:
  • 1/2 can of vegetarian refried beans, heated, with salt and garlic powder. Add LF sharp cheddar and SF salsa. YUM!
  • yogurt with SF vanilla syrup, fruit, and SF granola
  • WW pretzels and cheese
  • pears with laughing cow cheese (divine!!!)
  • Pink Lady apples with nat'l PB
  • WW pita chips with hummus
  • red bell pepper strips with roasted red pepper hummus
  • safe cereals with skim milk and dried fruit
  • smoothie made from plain FF yogurt, frozen SF fruit, protein powder, and SF syrup (some milk, too, if too thick)
  • RF Triscuits with LF boursain/Rondele cheese

Me too, I love it when it makes my jaws cramp it is so sharp. You can't get really good cheese like that in AZ. I'll have to try the parm.

even mediocre parm is super sharp....should squelch that sharp cheese craving.

DH hates eating really sharp cheese plain....more for me!

Can't believe I forgot to include my absolute favorite snack:

Homemade 3 (or 4, or 5) bean salad! :love: I think it's the perfect SBD food. And it's great in P1 for helping keep the "SBD flu" away and for, shall we say, "inducing movements?" :lol:

I like SF sweet gherkins, the Nalley's brand is really good. I bought Vlasic ones and those were kind of skunky. I also love SF popsicles - only 15 calories. Sometimes I cut a big wedge of cabbage for a snack - I always liked raw cabbage, even as a little kid. A little bit of peanut butter on a Triscuit hits the spot sometimes.

Sugar free jello is my lifesavor especially at night which is when I crave something sweet!

Fat Melanie 09-11-2008 10:31 PM
Mmm I can't believe some of you haven't tried parmesan off the brick!!!

I used to LOVE cutting slices of parmesan cheese to eat on crackers. It is superbly delicious. Maybe I'll get some triscuits.

Now that you guys are talking about parmesan, I'm craving it.

Some snacks I like:

celery and PB
celery and garlic hummus
Roasted chickpeas

....I need to find more snacks to put into rotation as well.

Schmoodle, how do you make that chocolate cheesecake smoothie? It sounds sinful.

Loriann7 09-12-2008 07:54 AM
GREAT ideas! GGOOO HONEY CRISPS!!!!

A few more that I like...

green beans... excellent snacking in front of a movie!
frozen peas.... seems once a month i get awful craving!
Celery with laughing cow cream cheese.
