Weight Loss Forum / Low Carb / November 2009Anyone got the Atkins book from the '70s?
There was a FABOO recipe in there for Italian pot roast, and I haven't been able to find anything close to it. If you have the original Atkins book, please please please post this recipe! Thanks in advance.

Thanks in advance. I have the 70s book. There's a recipe for pot roast in there, but there's nothing "Italian" or special about it. Maybe if you told me what FABOO means I could find it. :-) > > There was a FABOO recipe in there for Italian pot roast, and I haven't > > been able to find anything close to it.

Maybe if you told me > what FABOO means I could find it. :-) I see now from Google that "FABOO" isn't an Atkin's acronym, but some kind of new-speak for "fabulous" or something like that. Whatever -- I don't find a recipe for "Italian Pot Roast" in the book. Maybe if you can give me some more clues, I can find the recipe for you. The only pot roast recipe that I found is meat, onion, garlic powder and beef broth and lots of prep which basically involved cooking it for a couple of hours. Nothing special there. :-) Not from Atkins but good and spicy, of course you want to skip the buns. Also can be done slowly on stove or in oven, but the slow cooker does a great job. Italian Beef 3-4 lb chuck roast 1 tsp. oregano (not ground) 2 tsp. lemon juice 2 whole cloves 5 bay leaves (3-5 depending on size) 1 pkg. dry beefy onion or onion soup mix. 3-4 pepperoncini peppers, just put slits in them Season the roast with season salt, garlic powder and pepper. Put in crockpot with the rest of the ingredients on top of that. Add enough beef broth or water to barely cover the roast. Cook on slow about 12 or 14 hours. The easiest way to shred the meat is with a potato masher. Check for seasoning and then add a couple of dashes of the pepperoncini juice. That is where the spiciness or heat comes from. Serve with Rolls or buns. You can put in the fridge for several hours if you want to get every bit of fat off of it if desired. Recipes is easily doubled. Freezes well also. || There was a FABOO recipe in there for Italian pot roast, and I || haven't been able to find anything close to it.

This looks very close and sounds yummy -- thanks so much.

On UseNet please use actual words not texting mutations. We're old fashioned when it comes to writing. UseNet doesn't just pre-date texting, it predates any e-mail system currently in use and it predates connection to the Internet. Sort of like when Obi Wan Kenobi in Star Wars described his light saber - It's a tool from a more civilized age ... ;^) Not so civilized that you need to post in the Latin of Caesar or the French of Napolean. The Lingua Franca of UseNet is the English of "Leave It To Beaver". "Gosh, Wally. How did it work out that way?" > If you have the original Atkins book, please please please post this > recipe! Thanks in advance. Ah, the old white cover book without "New" in its title. DADR - Doctor Atkins Diet Revolution. One of the classics of the field. On the one hand it is the book that makes it explicit that the Atkins process is about being in or out of ketosis so CCLL uses in and out of ketosis not week to week loss rates. On the other hand the book's description of the maitnenance phase is so brief and so lame that version of the plan can be accurately descibed as a fad diet for its lack of maintenance. My favorite recipe title in that edition is "Cheesecake that is illegal but not immoral". Gosh Wally, where can I find some liquid cyclamate drops? The last time I drove through Canada I looked in a grocery store but could not find any. Pot roast. Get a tough cut. Cook it slowly until it turns soft. Serve to the admiring crowd. Bluebrooke already posted that it isn't listed as Italian. >> There was a FABOO recipe in there for Italian pot roast, and I haven't >> been able to find anything close to it. > >On UseNet please use actual words not texting mutations. Erm, okay, but I've never texted in my life, and I've been using "faboo" for decades. >Pot roast. Get a tough cut. Cook it slowly until it turns soft. Serve >to the admiring crowd.

Nice. Idiot. Signature"I married Tom Arnold who proceeded to dump me. What is my reward? I get to sell the house I should have won in settlement, kicking my *own a.s* to the street.
