Low Carbohydrate Garlic Bread

Low Carb Garlic Bread Slice with 1 hard boiled egg and tomato slices

The one thing I really really really miss being on a low carb diet is bread. Oh how I've been longing for a piece of bread. After searching for recipes I found one that is pretty good by Laura Dolson. I wanted however a garlic bread so I did switch up the recipe by adding 2 garlic cloves to the recipe. If you want, you can follow the link I provided to make this bread yourself, and then after adding the eggs, oil, and water, simply add 2 pressed garlic cloves to the recipe.

The great thing about this bread is that it only takes 15 minutes to prepare, 20 minutes to bake, and only has .7 g of carbs. To top it off it's a very healthy bread. Ingredients needed are:

• 5 eggs
• 2 cups of flax seed meal
• baking powder
• salt
• sugar substitute 
• oil and water

The unusual part about this bread is you pour the ingredients once mixed onto an oiled piece of parchment paper.

If anyone has a recipe for a low carbohydrate bread, I would really appreciate the recipe. Just leave me a message in the comment box below.

Thanks for visiting and have a great day!

Things You Say to Your Scale

I've tried many diets before and this is the first low carbohydrate diet I've ever tried. I must say things are going really well. I weighed myself eleven days ago and since then I've lost a total of 7 pounds. I know in the first week you tend to lose more than the weeks that follow but I'm pretty excited about this. I did cheat on Valentine's Day within that eleven day period.

I was weighing myself today and thinking about all the funny stupid things I've said to my scale and thought I'd share them here. I'm sure anyone that's dieted before has said a few of these things out loud too.

Oh my God you've got to be kidding me.

Liar!

Seriously I've been dieting for 4 hours and I haven’t lost anything yet!

Stupid scale what the hell do you know!

Look here, I've been starving myself all day and you mean to tell me that I've gained a pound?

Come on you could at least lie once in a while couldn't you?

You can be replaced you know!

Okay, okay, fair enough I’m obsessed … I know it’s only been a week and so what if I've weighed myself day and night, night and day, mid-morning, and mid-afternoon, but I’m a little over determined.

Let’s move you over to this side of the floor and see if that makes a difference.

Do your batteries need to be replaced?

Oh hold on I see a bit of dust on you.

Well it's about bloody time!

Ah finally!

Now we're talking!

Ha! I knew that scale at the doctor’s office was lying.

Woo Hoo! I love you!

What have you said to your scale recently? 

What does the your bathroom scale say back to you?

Low Carb Diet Journey

I've always thought that I eat fairly healthy until a recent trip to the doctors upon finding out that my blood test revealed that I need to watch my sugar intake. Over the past year and a half I have gained a few extra pounds that I know I need to lose.  I am convinced that once the weight comes off the blood sugar level will go back to normal as no one in my immediate family has ever had a problem with diabetes, as far as I know.

My husband has been on a low carbohydrate diet and the weight is melting off him so I've decided to follow suit and see how it goes along with cutting out all unnatural sugar.

The first thing I did after leaving the doctor’s office was to go to the health store and purchase stevia for my coffee and tea. I have to say this is the best sweetener I've ever had. With all the bad publicity that the artificial sweeteners made with Saccharin, Aspartame, cyclamate, sucralose, and acesuflame potassium get I decided that the best choice would be stevia.

Stevia is made from the stevia leaf making it an all-natural herb sweetener. All-natural, sounds good to me.

I am going to document my new diet plan, and if you’d like to you can follow me through it to see how it goes or cheer me on as I attempt to lose 20 pounds, maybe more. I should say lose not attempt to lose.

I started this last Tuesday and so far I’ve lost 4 pounds by cutting out bread, switching over to stevia in my coffee and tea and eating extra vegetables cutting out or eating smaller portions of white potatoes and rice.

I will post either recipes or links to recipes that I feel have helped me along the way to achieving my weight-loss goal. Later today I will post my recipe for sugar free applesauce along with some roasted sweet potatoes that I made last night.

Thank you for stopping by and have a nice Monday and a fantastic week!
