I'm sitting here with my stomach growling and all I know is I don't
want another steak. I'm so hungry but sometimes I think I'd rather
starve to death than eat the food on induction.
Hamburger has no taste, the strip steaks taste the way a wet dog
smells and the only kind of chicken I can buy is tough and fatty. I'm
losing my tolerance for eggs. I never liked fish, I can't buy duck and
the only kind of seafood avaiable is shrimp. Every time I get on this
diet I always find myself eating sandwich meat with cheese piled on
top, and I am so sick of sandwich meat. Maintenance is a joke, even
when I go off induction half the allowed vegetables aren't sold in my
area, and I'm stuck eating meat and cheese again.
It's dinner time, and I have no idea what to eat. I don't even know if
I'm going to eat. I've started to dread meal time on this diet. If I
could stop my stomach from hurting because it's growling so much I
would go to bed right now and not eat dinner, or breakfast or lunch
the next day.
I need something, anything, to add flavor to this horrible stuff I'm
eating on the induction diet. If you have any idea of a real honest
recipe I could make on the induction diet, please post it. Any spices,
sauces, or anything else that can drown out the flavor will also be
appreciated.

I don't understand.
All you have to do to find tons of recipes that are wonderful and low carb
is:
- search this newsgroup
- search the internet
- visit any place that sells books, they all have good low-carb recipe
books.
It sounds like you don't want to do low-carb and are making excuses?

Look for the threads "Dinner last night, Beef Stroganoff" and "Round up of
Atkins.com recipes tried so far", both posted by RT earlier this week
(3/2/04).

It sounds to me like you need to learn how to cook. Seriously.
I just had a hamburger patty for lunch -- I seasoned it using Lawry's
seasoned salt (it has some sugar in it, but not so much that the 1/8
tsp. I used makes a difference), topped it with cheddar cheese then
covered it with a small pan lid to melt the cheese as it finished
cooking. I mixed a little low-carb catsup with brown mustard as a
dipping sauce on the side. It was delicious.
Last night I had roast chicken -- your basic, cut-up grocery store
chicken. Salted, peppered, laid out bone-side down on a sheet pan with
the white meat pieces in the center. 500F for ten minutes -- turn them
over. Ten more minutes -- turn again. Then a last ten minutes for
perfectly crispy skin. I had oven-roasted green beans with gorgonzola
cheese on the side.
The night before that I also had chicken -- thighs simmered in red
curry sauce (Taste of Thai red curry paste combined with "lite"
coconut milk).
Several times a week I make a meal of buffalo chicken wings, which I
buy pre-made and keep in the freezer. I dip them in Marie's blue
cheese dressing and have a cup of steamed, buttered broccoli on the
side.
This weekend I'll be cooking an enormous, two-inch thick chuck steak,
either making it into pot roast or grilling it on the barbecue and
slicing it thin. I also have a couple of ahi tuna steaks to marinate
and sear, and a couple of pounds of hamburger to cook with chorizo and
seasonings for taco salads.
There's a LOT of good food you can eat.

Low carb needs to be a way of life. If you hate meat, eggs, mayonnaise, and
cheese you should look for another diet.

Maybe low-carb isn't for you. It sounds like you don't have a taste for, or
access to, the fresh and good foods that make the low-carb approach great.
I find that steak, broiled and salted, is about the simplest thing in the
world to prepare and tastes delicious. Broccoli, cut up and cooked for two
minutes in the microwave, is a perfect side. An excellent fresh low-carb
dinner in less than 10 minutes. There are times I do more elaborate
cooking but I do not have to.
But that's just me. If you don't like the stuff you have access to, you
may just have to try something else.

I really like to drown everything in Texas Pete when I'm having
ketosis mouth like you are. Nothing tastes good at this stage. Eat
some jalepeno's or something to perk the ole taste buds up.

I don't know where you are .. but except for maybe jungles and deserts I
don't know of any "areas" where you can't buy lettuce, cucumbers, canned
green beans, frozen broccoli and cauliflower, spinach, canned summer squash,
cabbage, saurkraut, etc. Why are you exagerating? Your hotmail e-mail
address and a google post looks suspicious. Troll baiting? And if you're
for real, you'll probably be better off with a different type of "diet;"
low-carb won't work for you anyway if you keep going on and off it as you
indicated you do. Apparently your mother spoiled you rotten when it came
to food from your description of what you won't eat.

I'm not exagerating. Why are you being obtuse? I said half the
vegetables. Do you know what half means?

Your cowardly x no archive is twice as suspicious. Looking at the
trolling nature of your reply, the suspicions are confirmed.

Guys, please sheath your claws, okay? I don't think airraiders is a troll -
s/he's just frustrated and needs some advice. airraiders, marengo is
definitely not a troll, though he has been a bit quick on the trigger in
accusing others of being so.
airraiders, you've gotten a lot of advice on this thread; does any of it
help you? If not, maybe you could be more specific about your problems -
why did you choose a low carb diet in the first place, if you knew that you
didn't like most of the readily available foods on it? Did someone
recommend it to you, or did you have a bad experience with a lowfat or other
low calorie diet? How are you preparing your meat that makes it taste
nasty? What cuts are you buying; can you try different cuts? What
vegetables *do* you have access to? If you are determined to give low-carb
a try, look around you and be creative. Maybe someone else on this group
lives in your area and will have some suggestions for you. Are there
post-induction foods that you like and can get? Perhaps just making it
through the two weeks of induction and moving on to the next phase will help
you.
I don't know; from your original post I still think low-carb may not be the
right choice for you. I'm most curious about what made you start on it,
given that you must have known before what foods you liked and what foods
you could easily get.

For whatever reason, you are wanting to fail.
I suspect that you are comfortable with failure and success is scary
to you.
You're OK, I'm OK.

I haven't seen that in a few years. I used to reply to x-no-archive
messages, making sure to quote their full text just to piss them off.
I totally agree that it is "cowardly."

Most of the search engines, including Google Groups, also recognize it
in the first line of the message:

I think it's silly. It's pointless to want to answer somebody's
current question but not the next guy's who searches later, but maybe
that's just me.

Um, you are the one hiding behind a fake e-mail address and Google post--
and I have been constructivelty participating in this NG for 3 years. That

If not, tell us where you are located and maybe some other low-carbers may
be in that area and help you locate a grocery store within driving distance.
