We have been loyal customers of the GG Bran crispbreads for years and they are a part of our daily diet routine that we couldn’t live without (Note: only 12 calories per slice). They are just perfect for the health conscious and dieters (especially people who are following a low carbohydrate and low calorie diets). Our favorite way to eat the crispbreads are with a mixture of Cinnamon and Truvia although they can be used for any meal. For example: breakfast use as toast with your eggs, lunch as a bread substitute for a sandwich, dinner as small pizzas with tomatoes and basil…etc and these are only a few of the ways we enjoy our brancrisps. GG also created another version of their Crispbread Crackers called ‘Sprinkles’ which are ground bran crips that can be used on top of your yogurts, smoothies, salads or possibly as a substitute for breadcrumbs. This is why we have highlighted GG Brancrips as one of our ‘Food Findings’ on our blog at bodyhacker.com. We will continue to post more of our recipes and other research to live a long, healthy life on our site if you are interested. Thanks again Kelly and we look forward to hearing more. bodyhacker.com Thanks Kelly for all of your suggestions and information!

I do use an artificial sweetener and lemon. A little vodka makes a delicious fruity tasting sipper. I can drink this occassionally and still lose and/or maintain my weight. A really simple but delicious chicken dish is mustard chicken. I simply spread lots of poupon mustard on boneless skineless chicken breasts and bake at 350. I am enjoying your site. I have also recently discovered Atkins.com/free. I tried to follow this years ago but kept quitting. Now I am just not so rigid and allow about 30 40 grams of carbs a day. The weight falls off.

He says it is very refreshing in summer and he can drink a lot and not feel too bad the next day cos its also hydrating. I guess you could use any flavour cordial as long as it is diet/no sugar.

I suspect I'm not the only one. I am not bothered by considerations of "what if the whole planet ate that way" because the whole planet will never eat that way. There will always be die-hard vegans and vegetarians, people who don't eat pork for religious reasons, and people who insist on eating mostly plants because it's more eco-friendly. And we won't have nearly seven billion people, or even more than that, for very much longer if what the peak-oilers say is true. So my basic philosophy is that if I feel better on a way of eating I'm going to continue that way of eating (well, except for moments of temptation) because I can't save the whole world but I can at least take care of myself. Someone mentioned juice in the comments--you're going to love this, but although the USDA allows fruit juice to be offered through WIC, it has also released a memo about the health hazards of juice consumption in children. I saw it posted outside the WIC office when I was on the program and have since found it at the USDA website. Cognitive dissonance, much? I really wish they'd overhaul the program, they're basically feeding poison to moms and babies. (Right alongside the cold cereal.) I loved Anna's comments! I need to get my printer hooked up. I've been at my wits' end trying to work out how to feed my daughter in healthier ways. Thanks, Anna! Personally I find I feel a lot better if I have more animal foods in my diet.

There are tons! Also, I wouldn't recommend giving up bread "tomorrow", if you don't have some meals planned out. If I did that, I'd be setting myself up for failure. When I gear up for it, I plan at least a week of meals first, go shopping, THEN start. Take the time to do a little research, and then make time to plan each week - that's key to success. There are plenty of ideas out there for new things to try, etc., but you have to take the time to find them, plan for them, and shop. Nothing worthwhile is easy all the time. You can do it! :) Kelly Michelle, if all the ideas in this post and the other low-carb posts (did you see the carnival post?) didn’t grab you, you could also google it and see what other ideas you get.

Hi Kelly
I came across your blog on the internet and tried to post a question to a previous post by Michigan mom (Shauna), however it wouldn’t let me for some reason.

My question was this :

“Shauna (and anyone else who wants to advise me?)
