Topic: RE: How do you know when it's a binge?
That is a hard question to answer. I guess only you know when you are binging.It take some inner probing to come up with the answer. Hope that helps.

wow, thanks. I've never seen that list before. Looks like I can do pretty much whatever and roll it in a ball. I love the flax idea.

I can usually tell by the chocolate smeared all around my face!
I never do seem to manage to stop early enough tho.

Topic: How do you know when it's a binge?
No kidding, how do you know when you are about to, are in the middle of, or have just binged?
This afternoon I found myself chewing on Fruit-Veg Fiber "Candy" from TJs, and realized that I was grabbing from the bag while I was still chewing -- getting myself more, without even having swallowed what I had in my mouth.
And in the middle of that realization, I then stuffed more food into my mouth ... while I still had some.
Crazy.
At what point do you know you're binging, and when is it early enough to stop?

Okay, here are the usual OH "Protein Ball" recipes -- I would probably substitute raw oat bran or ground flax-seed for the oatmeal or other carby stuff:
PROTEIN BALLS I
1 cup Peanut Butter
1 cup rolled oatmeal -- not the instant stuff
1 cup protein powder
5 packets Sugar substitute
Warm the peanut butter in microwave about 30-40 seconds -- it melts it and makes mixing in the other ingredients much easier. Add the oatmeal, protein powder, and Sugar substitute and mix well. (If needed, you can add a little bit of water to make it easier to mix) Roll into walnut sized balls, refrigerate. Store in fridge in zip-lock baggies. This recipe makes 20-24 balls.
PROTEIN BALLS II
1 cup of protein powder (chocolate or vanilla)
1 cup of non-fat dry milk
1 cup of rice crispy cereal
1 cup of peanut butter
Sugar substitute to taste
Cocoa powder mixed with Sugar substitute
Add the Protein Powder, Dry Milk, Cereal and Peanut Butter in a mixing bowl. Mix thoroughly making sure that all the dry milk is in the mix and not really visible. If you like it really sweet, add some more Sugar substitute to fit your taste. Form the mixture into small balls (about 1.5 inches in diameter) Roll in the cocoa/Sugar substitute mix. Refrigerate.
PROTEIN BALLS III
1 cup peanut butter
1 cup sugar free honey
1 cup unflavored protein powder
1/2 cup grape nut cereal
sprinkle of cinnamon
sprinkle of Sugar substitute
Mix peanut butter, honey and protein powder together till well blended. Form into balls. In another bowl mix grape nuts, Sugar substitute and cinnamon together. Wet peanut butter balls with water and roll into grape nut mixture. Place in frig and grab when you need a yummy snack!
PROTEIN BALLS IV
1 cup peanut butter
2 scoops of chocolate protein powder
1/2 cup low carb special K cereal
3 tablespoon of sugar free maple syrup
1/4 cup chopped nuts
oatmeal (not instant)
3 packets of sugar substitute
I mixed everything up in a bowl and then rolled them in oatmeal.
PROTEIN BALLS V
1 cup protein powder
1 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup sugar free maple syrup or honey
Mix together well and roll into balls - about the size of a ping pong ball. Store in a Tupperware or Ziploc bag in the refrigerator..
PROTEIN BALLS VI
1 cup protein powder (chocolate or vanilla)
1 cup non-fat dry milk
1 cup rice crispy cereal
1 cup peanut butter
Sugar substitute to taste

Add the protein powder, dry milk, cereal and peanut butter in a mixing bowl. Mix thoroughly making sure that all the dry milk is in the mix and not visible. If you like it real sweet, add some more Sugar substitute to fit your taste. Form the mixture into small balls (about 1.5 inches in diameter) Roll in the cocoa/Sugar substitute mix. Refrigerate. Each ball has about 10 grams of protein.

Topic: RE: PRODUCTS Thread: Low-Carb Yummies
I saw a receipe for protein balls the other day that was 1 c SF peanut butter, 2 C protein powder, 1c imitation honey and 3 c something????? They suggested cereal. Mix together and roll into small balls. Refrigerate until set, the they can stay out in a canister. It called for vanilla protein but I was thinking peanutbutter/chocolate. Any ideas for what to use for the 3c.that is low carb? The suggestion was dried fruit, cereal, nuts, kind of stuff.
