Mushrooms? Garlic????

[FatFairNForty(ish)]

Can I have mushrooms on AAM? Boiled in small amount of water with garlic?

I have really enjoyed having "proper" food but would LOVE to have mushrooms with my 2oz chicken this evening!

Hiya, mushrooms are fine...but as far as I remember from other threads garlic is a no no! I had chicken with mushrooms every night on AAM, done on my george foreman grill...

OMG your kidding about the garlic surely??? I've had some every day!!! NOT garlic salt... the real stuff... fresh.. crushed and sliced... oh man... I was sure I was told it was ok!!!! AARGH!!!

Hi

Just a quick tip on the mushrooms. I do mine in the microwave, cover with cling film, no water needed as they "cook" in their own juice. Only a couple of mins max (obviously depending on how many you are doing) you could always try 1 min, and see if they need more time.

*salivating now... lol... they sound so good!

Thank you both!

(I use my daughters George Foreman grill and it's ace!)

I wish I was kidding FFF....I love garlic and I'm sure it was Linda (CDC) who posted that it wa a no no...then again, if your still in ketosis and it hasnt done you any harm, then maybe its ok for you?

I suoppose garlic isn't allowed because it is of the onion family and they have a high carb content. But surely the amount eaten would not be enough to cause a problem, unless we are talking anti-vampire quantities here?

oooh I don't know..... I have been having a clove or two every night...

I see you've been revived so FFF??! I miss garlic..... sooooooo much.....and it would get rid of icky ketosis breath too!!

 

[FatFairNForty(ish)]

Blimey - I am going to be so gutted., lol... how pathetic is THAT??? I even bough a jar of garlic bits today (the tiny pieces that are nothing but garlic) thinking that would be so much easier than crushing and slicing... still... it might still be in date when I get to goal next Christmas!!!!

I just love it SO much Kazz... lol... wish I'd mentioned it last week when I started on AAM!! Eek!

 

[kazz]

Isnt lazy garlic the best invention ever?!!!

 

[FatFairNForty(ish)]

Hi guys!

OMG I would never have thought garlic would be a big no no, what a total bummer!!!! As for the onion family, I ate about a desert spoonful of red onion last night....will I be out of K! Was hoping I may have gotten away with it!

Yikes...the thought required...well I guess if I just stuck to the SS plan there'd be no thought required!

Good luck ladies and roll on the garlic days , theyre on the horizon somewhere!!!

So not fair... I bought onion today to go with my chicken and mushroom kebabs which i planned for tomorrow on my first AAM day ever. I thought it would be okay because on South Beach Diet, which is like Atkins but with veg (apart from root veggies), u can have onions... will give onion to my mate to do something with it - no way am I eating anything thats not allowed or even questionable, its bad enough that i have to eat at all!

I used to eat so much garlic that I never had garlic breath....well hardly ever I miss garlic!!

Yeah it's all pants eh?? I actually thought it was a no no cause of all the sugars...you can caramalise onions etc....never really thought of it as carby...hrm....no more garlic.....boooooooo!! nevermind..you can have some spices and herbs instead!! xx
