Stalls/Chicken and a Question...
This is round 2 for me on Low Carb.
What I've noticed personally is that my weight loss isn't a gradual thing. I tend to go stall for a few days then mini woosh. It's been consistant both times I've done this. Where as hubby has been gradual 1/2 pound, by 1/2 pound. Has anyone noticed that by decreasing their red meat and substituting it with chicken kicks them out of stall? Going back over what I"ve been eating, it seems that my wooshes come the morning after I eat more chicken than red meat. Any ideas? AW |

Stalls/Chicken and a Question...
It might depend on how you are cooking the red meat.. are you using alot of
salt? Or are you unwittingly buying beef injected with salt water crap I have found in so much of it lately? I will not EVER buy meat at Walmart again.. none of it.. it is all injected with water and salt.. supposedly to make it taste better.. sheesh do they think we are all too stupid to cook now? Check the labels.. you might find it will say *injected with up to 30% of a "solution"*.. that solution is just water and salt.. GROSS!!!! What else are you having with the different meats.. could it be something there too you haven't thought of yet? Teeb "Abby Walker" wrote in message om... This is round 2 for me on Low Carb.

Teeb,
If the meat is injected with 30% water, it means that 1/3 of the "meat" weight is water and you are paying meat prices for that water.

Stalls/Chicken and a Question...
Yes.. I am aware of that.. they won't tell you that though if you ask.. they
will tell you *it makes the meat taste better and helps preserve it*.. I had one of their butchers get rather snotty with me once when I asked if they had pork without all the gunk injected.. she snapped at me rather rudely *THIS is what we sell and it's GREAT pork*.. I told her I prefer just plain old meat that wasn't so salty it was inedible and when I bought a pound of meat I expect a pound of MEAT. She huffed off without another word. A grocery store close to us changed hands a couple years ago.. used to carry the nasty pork as well.. Charged outrageous prices for the *natural* stuff like it was something special. I hadn't even bothered looking at pork for ages and happened to one day a few months ago and realized it did not say anything was added.. I snagged the butcher as he walked by and asked and he said *Oh that's all we're carrying now.. it's so much better and we realized it's what our customers want after getting complaints about the other brand.* I told him I hadn't bought pork in several years. We have it often now after they started carrying plain ol' good pork again... Teeb "Jenny" wrote in message ...
