Bulking Up Meals - Mushrooms

Recently I really noticed that a two egg omelet with five sliced
mushrooms (sauteed in garlic flavored olive oil) really was twice the
volume of just the two egg omelet.

Then I found:

Sauteed mushrooms (with or without flavored olive oil/butter) make
excellent bulking (volume increasing) additions to dishes which have
short cooking times.

They also make good bulking additions to slow cooked dishes such as beef
stew if they are added at the very last minute before serving.

Salads bulk up nicely with mushrooms plain or lightly sauteed in
flavored oil.

Thirty years ago, when Atkins was just beginning the first go-round, I
thought of trying to devise an artificial food that would have volume
and no calories.

Nature has created at least one food with lots of volume, few
carbs/calories and even some nice nutrients... mushrooms.


For many, this is probably old hat.

For those who can't yet EAT LESS .... this may be a temporary aid to
weight loss.


1) EAT TILL SATISFIED, NOT STUFFED (Atkins repeats this) Eat Less
2) EXERCISE IS NON-NEGOTIABLE Atkins chapter title
3) DON'T EVEN THINK OF DOING ATKINS WITHOUT SUPPLEMENTS Atkins chapter title
4) SENSIBLE EATING PLAN ... such as the one in Atkins book, but many
other eating plans will probably work IF YOU DO STEPS 1 to 3.


SENSIBLE EATING PLANS???
The Consumer Report survey of (self reported) successful dieters claims
that most successful dieters invent their own diets and don't
particularly follow or read any of the currently fashionable diets.

Nature created lots of foods like this....we mostly think of these as the
low carb veggies...broccoli, caulifower, etc.

Good points, jimbo.
 
I like the idea.

I'm looking for a 900 calorie a day diet that can sustain me for
years, yet be filling and nutritious.

Suggestions?

You can eat a lot of bulky low carb veggies, easily...
Just watch that you don't become protein deficient.

If you consume 100 grams of protein per day, that's sufficient and about
400 calories.

That leaves you 500 calories for essential fatty acids and bulk veggies.

You need 20 grams of (good) fats per day, that's another 180 calories.

So, thats 580 leaving you 320 for lettuce, cabbages, choys, mushrooms,
brocolli, cauliflower, spinach and other greens.

It can be done, it'll just take some research and care. :)

Good luck!

I must have done something wrong, when I tried an omelet with mushrooms in
it they were tough. Maybe I overdid the sautéing or something.

And they're free just now : ) Most days, I'm coming home with a couple of
field mushrooms or a boletus or two.

The really odd thing about that ....

I finished graduate school on little money and occasional "Weenie Water
Gravy" meals at the end of the month. So I was about 130 to 140 lbs at
5' 6" on a heavy bone frame.

Diet for thinness was not a personal issue or concern.

The US Air Force Ballistic Missile Division was abandoning the idea of
advanced ceramic materials as thermal protection of nuclear weapons
against the intense fire heat of reentry...... and there were a lot of
very inert ceramic oxide powders lying around.

When you mixed the ceramic powders with water, you could end up with a
slurry misture which resembled mashed potatos. The powders were so small
(less than 0.5 microns - smaller than almost any cell in the human body)
and so smooth that they should simply pass through the body with no
interaction with the biological environment.

These powders were exceptionally inert, in a chemical sense, so that
even when white hot, they would not react with any normal atmospheric
constituents.

Management was both delighted that I had suggested an avenue of further
civilian use of this high technology and horrified that it was
something as mundane as simply inert bulk for dieters.

"Thanks, but no thanks"

Perhaps there is still a chance to become a millionaire..... selling
things like:

The Totally Inert Diet.
You Can't Digest This Diet.
The Aerospace Diet.
The New Ceramic Age Diet.
Inert Bulk for Intert Bulky People Diet.
The Modern Clay Diet- The next step up from stone age eating.
Don't Eat Everything on the Plate.... Eat The Plate instead, New Diet
Tecgnology.

Even weapons technology can be "fun", if you let it be.

For some... :)

Mushrooms I believe are a vast unexplored avenue for some folks.
Very low in calories and the cell walls are made of chitin, not
cellulose so those with a sensitivity to high cellulose foods can do
well with mushrooms.

And there are getting to be more varieties of them for sale.

They can also be easily cultivated!

They are a wealth of low calorie nutrition. I've studied mushroom
cultivation due to my love of shitakes and oyster mushrooms (more
expensive than just the regular ones at the store) and have been amazed
at what I discovered.

You know, if you were able to actually get something like this to taste
good and could effectively market it, you'd be a millionare overnight...

There's a lot of research out at the moment on the effect of fibre on
diabetics' glucose levels. The best stuff seems to work by passing through
the gut unchanged... maybe you are onto a winner : )

Maybe by itself, but the fillers they insist on adding to it ruin it.

I can't use Splenda anymore. It reduces Ketones to zero for me...

But I confess, I was using quite a bit. 1 gallon of sugar free kool-aid
per day (made by me with 24 packets of Splenda little packets).

Not yet. :)
It's in the plans...

I can't find it locally.
I'll have to order it on line.

Cheers!

As far as I know, none can get it locally. You must get it online and then
only during a very brief window (like 3 minutes). I suggest you get in a
bit of a hurry...

I ordered mine on the 1st of this month. I could only get a 4 oz bottle and
a 1 oz bottle before the window closed. It started right on the hour and
the window was closed within 3 minutes. So, you have to be ready.... :)
I'll be pedalling come noon Saturday!
