Went off plan
Tuesday was my 40th birthday, and we didn't really celebrate since DH had
the stomach flu. Today, however, my family visited and, at my request, they brought a chocolate cake with buttercream frosting from the bakery. And, yes, I had a small piece, though I couldn't finish it off. It tasted yummy, but it was enough to satisfy me. I don't plan to eat birthday cake again, at least until maybe next year. If I stall, that's okay. I'm much further along than I thought I'd be, and I haven't eaten much today anyway (just a plain hamburger patty) due to my earlier foray into the wonderful world of maltitol-enhanced intestinal distress. I know what to expect as far as cravings, and I know how to deal with them. I look at this as a rare experiment into how to deal with food once I reach my goal. I'll let you all know how I'm holding up. -- Linda 296/187.4/160 LC since Oct. 13, 2003 Now a happy member of the '100lbs.

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT!!!
Modern research has determined that "Birthday Cake", ie: A highly decorated sweet flour/fat/sugar based dessert, generally festooned with YOUR name, has NO CALORIES, NO CARBS, AND NO FAT. Shocking? Sure. But it appears, the joy felt once a year when we eat a piece of this comestible surrounded by our loved ones immediately dissipates all CALORIES, CARBS AND FAT! There are a few important caveats: 1. It must be YOUR birthday. 2. You must only have ONE birthday a year. 3. Cake must be consumed AFTER appropriate musical accompaniment ("Happy Birthday" or "For He/She's a Jolly Good Fellow/Person" or the like). 4. Candles, while low carb, low calorie and low fat must NOT be consumed... especially when lit. 5. BEWARE! Foods consumed before and after cake maintain their original carb, fat and calorie count. This has been brought to you as a public service announcement. Jennifer Yes, the "Ice Cream AND Cake" variable was addressed in the study. Should "Ice Cream AND Cake" be consumed, as separate items, each will release HALF of it's calories, carbs and fats. So an option would be to only eat the HALF that is now CCF-FREE. Determining which half is now CCF-FREE is easy... it's the half closest to you. As for an "Ice Cream Cake" ie: Baskin Robbins/Haggan Daz/Carvel... normal sized slices fall under the original CCF-FREE study and can be consumed with pleasure. Hope that clears it up.

It is possible to make very low carb frosting. The cake itself might be 50
carbs for a slice. I don't know how to make a lower carb cake, but I think it can be done. By eliminating all other carbs for the day, one can still be on program. My solution is to skip the cake. A bowl of LC ice cream seems celebratory enough. "Lady o' the house" wrote in message ... Tuesday was my 40th birthday, and we didn't really celebrate since DH had the stomach flu.

Thanks, Cubit. But due to a bout of vomiting from stomach flu a few hours
later, I doubt that it made that much of a difference. -- Linda 296/187.4/160 LC since Oct. 13, 2003 Now a happy member of the '100lbs.

I'm almost jealous of someone who is 'off their feed'. As to the stomach flu, I guess you have heard that there is no such thing as stomach flu. I just heard it again several times in the last month from the center for disease control so it must have some basis. Here is a pretty good explanation why doctors keep telling us that "There is no such thing as stomach flu": http://foodhaccp.com/msgboard.mv?par...msgnum=1004440 Pj On Sat, 30 Oct 2004 19:10:08 GMT, "Lady o' the house" wrote: Thanks, Cubit.
