Do you like pork rinds? I don't, but I have a friend who swears that this concoction is delicious. So, it might be worth a try (*if*, as I said, you like pork rinds).
He simply places a slice of low-fat cheese on several pork rinds, microwaves for a few seconds to melt the cheese and heat the pork rinds...and this is his version of low-carb "nachos." -- MaryL (take out the litter to reply)

It might work for those who don't like plain rinds, too, as the cheese can mask, or add to, the taste of the rinds.
He uses as many low-fat products as possible. Actually, I also try to watch it -- I use South Beach as my basic guide, and they put emphasis on lean meats and low-fat cheese (unlike Atlkin). I am still in the "learning stage" on all this -- it's hard to realize after all those years of watching fat and buying skim milk, etc., to now see that those same products that I thought were healthier actually contained more carbs than their "non-healthy" cousins (and, as a diabetic, my meter definitely tells me to avoid certain types of carbs such as bread, potatoes, rice, pasta...).
Incidentally, what do the numer after your names refer to?

I can't imagine ever doing low-fat again. Without fail, my weightloss stalls when I cut back on my fats. Not to mention the taste, ew! LOL!

And, you could add jalapeño slices and browned ground beef to make the nachos more authentic!

Well, the result of using LF cheese something that is lower in fat and perhaps lower in calories...taste may leave something to be desired, though.

I thought they were made of pig skin? I guess there would be some fat under the skin, hmm... LCing since 12/01/03- Me- 5'7" 265/159/140 & hubby- 6' 310/188/180 http://f2.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/lcer09/my_photos

That's probably true, but I really detest the flavor of pork rinds -- I was just posting in case someone else would be interested. Pork rinds have some sort of incredibly fatty, almost rancid (even though they are not) taste to me. Overall, I try to follow South Beach's "good carbs" advice plus lean meat and cheese. That means I am *much* lower-carb than in the past, but I do get carbs in fresh fruit, etc. I have completely eliminated bread, pasta, rice, and potatoes. I also get fat in a limited amount of bacon, use olive oil for stir fry, etc. -- but I am still in the dubious stage concerning too many saturated fats (and especially try to have no trans fats). In fact, another part of my past history is that I used to have severe intestinal upset if I ate much animal fat. However, I have not had any incidents since changing to this diet, so it may be that something else was interacting.

Thanks. It was the start/current/goal weights that I asked about. I have seen that in a number of posts and thought it referred to weight, but I didn't understand the 3 categories. Now I do (the 3rd being goal weight).
Congratulations! You have made great progress. I have lost 41 pounds since early June, and I am pleased with that -- I hope I continue as you have.

Thanks! It really is amazing how well LC works, especially when you've tried EVERYTHING else, and have pretty much given up hope. (as I had) Although I ate too much today. Good stuff, but far. far too much. I'm not looking foreword to facing the scale tomorrow. <sigh> Oh well, back on the straight and narrow ASAP, LOL!

I hear fried lard with wrapped in some bacon is good too.
