I started TNT Plan C yesterday. 8 weeks into it and I've definitely noticed changes. The first few weeks were rough while we figured out our caloric intake, but from there it's been good. I ganed almost 2 pounds last week while I was out of town <_< I figure it can't be permanent; 2 pounds in one week is a hell of a lot. So I'm not too worried about it.

Today I ate:

Breakfast: 1/2 flax muffin, fried egg, 2.5 strips bacon
Lunch: Tossed salad with 1 can of tuna and Parmesan Peppercorn dressing
Snack: 1oz almonds
Dinner: Chipotle Brisket
Drinks: 3 cups coffee (plus cream), 2 cups tea, 2 liters crystal light, 2 coke zero, 1 diet rite...

We got the brisket recipe out of this book: Amazon.com: 200 Low-Carb Slow Cooker Recipes: Healthy Dinners That Are Ready When You Are!: Dana Carpender: Books

We've made several recipes out of it and have really enjoyed every one so far. We made a fantastic pulled pork recipe a month or so ago. Highly recommend this book if you're interested in low-carb cooking & like using a crock-pot. Haven't been disappointed yet.

My best friend recently got us a subscription to Gourmet magazine and I'm really surprised at how many recipes in it are low-carb without being indicated as such. We're going to make some baby back ribs this week that are brined overnight, then cooked with thai spices (chili, cilantro, lime, peppercorns, scallions, uhhh... other stuff...). I'm excited. And i bought some elephant kale because I've never had it. Should be fun!
