DELICIOUS BBQ & Dipping Sauce.........
.....*IF* you can get PAST THE COLOR! LOL 
OK Guys, I tried this PURELY by accident. I mean it is the STUPIDEST thing in the whole world, but it ended up tasting REALLY, REALLY GOOD!!
OK, so I like BBQ sauce, but there is so much sugar (yes, even in the CarbWell brand) - because I tend to pretty much eat NO sugars these days. Also, I DO count Sugar Alcohol carbs, the ONLY carbs that I do not count are FIBER...
SO... as a snack, I went to Larry's BBQ, and I ordered a 4-oz. side order of lean sliced smoked pork. Now, of course, we all want BBQ sauce on that, right? Well, for me, NO. So, I got back to my office, and thought about it for a minute..... what sweetening agent does NOT consist of sugar alcohols, and has no calories at all? Hmm... OK - the pink Sweet-n-low sweeteners! OK, now what to do with it???
So, I took a BIT LESS than 1/3 cup measure of French's Classic Yellow Mustard (0 calories 0 carbs from their label), I stirred-into it THREE packets of the Sweet-n-low, and I stirred this VERY WELL. I tasted the fork that I was stirring with. WOW. I mean this guys, WOW. I know this sounds ABSOLUTELY CRAZY - but just for giggles, TRY THIS! It tasted like REALLY GOOD TANGY BBQ sauce - and I am not kidding....
How is this possible? I think it has to do with the vinegar content and the consistency of the smooth mustard seed, but all I know is that I was BLOWN AWAY by something so elementary, so totally lame and stupid - but nonetheless, delicious!
Now, I brush this GENEROUSLY onto ribs, chicken, meats of all sorts, I even dip in it - and it BBQ's on the grill VERY nicely! If you can JUST GET PAST THE COLOR - the flavor is amazing. And NO CARBS - NO SUGARS - WOO HOO!!!!!! I am loving it!
So, folks are always asking me "Mike, you don't need to lose any more weight, why are you watching your carbs?" and the answer is quite simple. I have a pancreatic condition as a result of my weight loss. What happened, is that over time when I was 408 pounds, my pancreas had grown to a particularly huge size to pump out enough insuline to help regulate the blood sugars in a 408 pound man. HOWEVER, as I continued to shrink from the weight loss, my pancreas did NOT shrink. So, when I eat carbs, ANY carbs (yes, even grains and natural sugars), my pancreas reacts by pumping out WAY TOO MUCH insuline for a 155-160 pound man. So, my blood sugar drops very rapidly - it has gone into the low 40's and I have blacked out on occasion - and this has been especially scary while at work for my coworkers.
The answer? My doctor says there is a surgery where they can remove 1/2 of my pancreas? Have you ever heard of that? It freaked me out, and beyond the hernias and the skin removal I want to try and stop surgeries. Especially after the ugly incident with my right kidney. So, I opted to not eat carbs, other than FIBER carbs - and the problem has all but stopped! YAY!
Also - for those of you still trying to lose and get to goal - carbs DO HINDER your loss - more than you think. So, in closing (LOL!) - this sauce is a great way to even further reduce those nasty carbs! LOL.....
HAVE A BEAUTIFUL DAY EVERYONE!!!!!
