That sounds good. I make mine with the sweet pickles I make. It doesn't seem the same without the pickles. I also put the pickles in deviled eggs, we have a neighbor that will eat his weight in my deviled eggs. I'm not eating my pickles right now.

But my suffering has not been in vain. Sunday morning I weighed 138 pounds! After Christmas I weighed 152 pounds. I have lost 14 pounds!

Congratulations! I've been doing it a bit longer but I'm down 26 pounds. Teresa has to add calories doing this since she doesn't need to lose any.

My target weight is 130 -135 pounds.

Shrimp Alfredo and Spaghetti Squash for dinner.
I sautéed chopped garlic, celery and red peppers in butter, then added some white wine and simmered some shrimp in the mixture. Added cream cheese and parmesan and served it with spaghetti squash. Oh my...

When I hit my target weight, I am going to fix a pan of gooey brownies, lick the bowl and eat brownies, hot right out of the oven!

Go easy on those ooey, gooey brownies, or you will gain it all back.

Not with one pan......now if I splurged every night, I'd be fatter than a dead hog swelled up in the sunshine, and THAT ain't happening!

Well, you might want to figure out how many calories in a whole pan of brownies. 3500 calories per pound of weight gain. So, you might want to overshoot your goal weight in preparation.

Don’t be surprised if you gain a pound (or two) eating a whole pan of brownies by yourself. And be ready for your blood sugar to skyrocket and then plummet. And then be ready to be hungry all day, from blood sugar out of balance.

Maybe it would be better to cut it into serving size pieces, which you can wrap and put in the freezer and then enjoy over a couple weeks, rather than binging on a whole pan.

ETA: Sorry to rain on your parade. But, you know me .. .. I’m all about being healthy, and that’s just not healthy.

 

[Baymule]

I know all that, you’re not raining on my parade. I doubt I could make it through a pan of brownies in one sitting, but I bet it wouldn’t take me very long. LOL LOL

There are more issues than just weight gain when suddenly increasing carbs and sugar intake in the middle of a low carb/keto style diet...or at the end of it..
