Low Carb McDonalds Burgers

One of the odd cravings I get is for a regular McDonald’s burger. Not the latecomer expensive specialty sandwiches but the basic, used to be 15 cent patty topped with ketchup, mustard and a dill slice. Did you know that you can order those without the bun? Obviously it’s nothing new to them. They even make it more low carb diet friendly by adding a bit of lettuce and packaging it in a container so you can use a knife and fork. I’ve found that ordering two $1 “McDouble” double cheeseburgers , (not the actual double cheeseburger which they sock you $1.29 for. ) hold the cheese and bun along with their 99 cent salad gives you a quick three buck meal that is pretty satisfying and still low carb.

Sure you don’t get to have fries, but they’ve never been the same since they stopped frying them in lard. And the object is for you to get the lard out too.

Leaf The Wheat Out Of Your Sandwich

Sometimes you just need a quick lunch and a sandwich would be perfect. Well, go ahead and make a great one without the bread. Just use a couple of nice big leaves of lettuce as the base for a wrap. Add all your favorite meats and cheeses, some nice spicy brown mustard, dill pickle, or a mustard/mayo/horseradish sauce (with a dash of Worcestershire) then wrap it up and enjoy. Sure you may need a couple of extra napkins. But you’ll find it’s very satisfying.

Oh, for some more crispness add a leaf of cabbage. It’s a great source of more fiber too.

No Wheat Week

This week we’re going to re-visit dropping wheat from your daily diet. Dieters who have dropped wheat products have noticed improvements in energy, mood and sleep. I know it may not be easy to do, sonce we have so many wheat products around. (And I love them all.) But by dropping the bread, pasta, crackers and especially the pastries you WILL see a difference. I notice in as little as a day that I actually feel less bloated. Couple that with five daily servings of fruits and vegetables plus that 30 minutes of walking and you’ve got a recipe for success.
