Confessions of a Carbohydrate Addict

Eating healthy since 3/29/04!

This blog is my struggle against carbohydrate addiction and to stay in my size 8 jeans. It is my struggle with thyroid disease, which slows my metabolism to a crawl. This blog is also about God & my struggle to move toward Christian maturity (I am far from perfect!). Finally, you'll find gratuitous cat pictures.

I lost 65 pounds on Atkins by watching my calories and carbs. I'm a raging carbohydrate addict trying not to go face first in the donuts and stay in my size 8 jeans. After gaining 17 back I started a low-fat, moderate-carb, high-protein diet. I have two fuzzy children - a grey tabby cat (Xena) and an orange tabby cat (Abby), both spayed females. Besides weight loss and health, my other passion is religion. I'm an ex-Witch, but have been a Christian since 1996, joining the Seventh Day Baptist church in 1999. I'm politically moderate, but conservative faith-wise. I believe in headcovering (1 Cor. 11). I'm truly pro-life, which means I am also against the death penalty.

Many of these recipes can be modified to be made lower fat by using non-fat cream cheese and cheddar cheese. I cannot vouch for their taste as I have only tried one recipe this way. I personally use (and recommend) low-fat cheese and cream cheese. Non-fat sour cream tastes okay though.

Easy Vegetable Casserole
Easy Faux Mashed "Potatoes"
Easy Eggplant Lasagna
Easy Low-Carb Frozen Dessert
Easy Low-Carb, Low-Fat Chocolate Cheesecake
