Topic: RE: Coffee for Low-Carbers: What's the Story here?
In the AM, I have six cups -- I mean, the pot says it's six cups -- of coffee. I usually use it as a vehicle for some combination of Splenda, full or half-cream, Fox's sugar-free chocolate syrup, and/or evaporated full-fat milk.
When I get to work, I usually follow-up with another 6-cup pot of decaf.
Now and then I switch over a few cups of tea -- but don't care for it that much.
What's interesting to me is, when I was a little girl my dad would drink a cup of coffee out of a coffee cup -- a real coffee cup, with a saucer. And about six ounces WAS a cup. We had a creamer, and a sugar bowl, and it was a relaxed but somewhat formal presentation.
Now we drink out of super-sized containers -- MUGS, or vente, grande, whatever .... and our concept of a serving of coffee is totally lost.
I never once saw my daddy put anything into his coffee but full cream or plain sugar.

Topic: Coffee for Low-Carbers: What's the Story here?
Have you notice that a lot of very successful low-carbers consume huge heaping quantities of coffee? Like -- almost all day long!
So what's you coffee story?
How much do you really drink?
What do you put in it?
How often do you drink it?

Topic: RE: Shirataki noodles question--Are they firm-al dente or
I think brand makes a huge difference. What I've heard about the fishiness of the tofu shirataki noodles kept me away from them. I bought the 100% konjac yam type made in Japan.
Even before you rinse them there is only a very faint smell once you pour off the water. The water does not smell offensive either as the odor is mild. I even left the water in a bowl in the sink with the package all day and never got the smell I'd heard about (curiosity, crazy I know, lol).
I've tasted a noodle before cooking it and no fishiness. I won't try anyother brand. It is out of stock for the winter because of shipping issues (package can freeze and burst) so I'm just doing without.
Next winter I will stock up in advance.
I still luv my baked spaghetti squash. Each serves a different cullinary mood but neither is a substitute if I want spaghetti. Then its dreamfields for only 5 net carbs.

Topic: RE: Taking today "OFF" - so not worth it
I have to agree with MSW -- Days "off" should not be a free-for-all, though it often seems to work that way, doesn't it, ugh. There are times when, no matter how well prepared I am, no matter how focused, no matter how strong my intention -- it seems there are days (and some times weeks or even longer) that every carb I pass finds its way into my mouth.
So sorry that you are feeling badly, and "feeling" badly -- Please be extra kind to yourself today!

Topic: RE: Taking today "OFF" - so not worth it
Well said. Days off need boundaries. I take them but in general where I can be certain of the carb/ calorie count. A little obsessive for a day off but that's the only way for me to keep from going overboard. Especially since it takes a ****load of misbehaving for me to dump or even feel sickly.

Topic: RE: Shirataki noodles question--Are they firm-al dente or
I have tried numerous brands over the years. I have rinsed until I thought there should be no fishy smell but I've never gotten rid of the smell, no matter how many minutes I rinse or soak. I have a package to try again because it's been a long time.
