Let's Do Lunch Community

Hey LDL family,
    I know it's been a long time since I have been on here, but I
just wanted to give an update on my progress. I am still on LDL
and have no plans or desire to change it. It is without a dout the
best thing that I could have ever done. For the first time in my life
I know I will not ever have to worry about my weight.
    I started LDL on 2-17-11 and since then have lost 48 lb.
Everybody is amazed at how much weight I have lost. I am amazed
myself considering how much food I eat. I always tell them about LDL
and Roger. My story is pretty much the same as everybody else.
Been dieting off and on my whole adult life. Weight always up and
down, but mostly always up. Tried all kinds of diets. I could go on
and on but yall know what I'm talking about. For the first time
in my life I feel like I finally have control over my weight. I thank
God everyday for Roger Troy Wilson and this wonderful way of eating.
I hope my story will inspire and encourage others.

                                                      Still Loving LDL, Charlotte

                                Still Loving LDL !!! Char

Char, What a great sucess story.  I feel the same as you.  It is food freedom.  Thanks for your post.      JF

So glad you love the sauteed turnips Char! They are now a staple, as far as I'm concerned. And I also fry radishes~ peeling the red skin is not necessary! At first I did because I thought the outer layer may be tough- like turnip skins are, But they're not. And they fry up so pretty!

SweetRose

Charlotte- I am so happy for you.  Way to go!!!!!      Pam

Amazing weight loss, Charlotte!! And you're still on LDL, too. To feel like you're in control of your food & your weight is something I aspire to!! Thank you for coming back & showing us that this is a way of life, not a diet! You give me much hope for my future! 

"Control" is such a beautiful word- when you're the one in control!

SweetRose

Yeah Sharolyn, I may not have been on the boards that much but I have never left LDL. I will never eat any other way. Hang in there it will work for you. It truly is a way of life. But oh my what a good life. And yes to finally say I have control of my food and weight is awsome !!!! I had to post my update because it is only fair to Roger and everyone here to know how well it works for me. It really does work. I could not be happier. Good luck to you.    Still Loveing LDL !!!! Char.

Thanks everybody, and amen to that SweetRose control is a beautiful word when you're the one in control! 

Way to go Charlotte!!! Very proud of you!!

Yea Charlotte..Victory Dance for you..

Thanks Nana, I've done the victory dance a few times. LOL  SLLDL, Char

Mrsj, I have sauteed radishes all the time now. Just take a bunch of radishes- or 2!- and wash, dry and slice like potatoes.(Thin slices). Don't peel the red skin off. "Fry" in EVOO or EVCO ( you don't need much oil); season like you would potatoes. Brown on all sides. Because radishes take a little longer to cook than potatoes- because of the lack of starch- I put a lid on the skillet after I've added a couple of spoonfuls of water to keep them from burning. When the water is absorbed and the radishes are brown, test with a fork to see if they're done.They probably are at this point.

These are great with a side of fried eggs!

Enjoy!

SweetRose

Thanks for the new dish recipe.  We've grown radishes, but never thought to fry them, but why not! Parsnips and turnips are good fiied. JF

Thanks SweetRose!  I already sliced the radishes yesterday so I should be able to fry them up today.

I don't like redishes, but my husband loves them....so I fried them up adding a little seasoning salt....He thought they were out of this world good. Now he's hooked....thanks sweetrose  for sharing this dish.  wither

Wither- Did the radishes lose their "bite" when they were cooked?  I'm so intrigued by this recipe!  Pam

Yes, a little, try it if you like redishes you will love them  wither

This is an older thread, but I wanted to say more about the frying of radishes, and mention turnips,too. You can add green pepper and onions to make mock Potatoes O'brien when sauteing the radishes or the turnips.. Yum! Also, when I make stew the LDL way I add chunks of turnips in place of the potatoes; they kind of even look like potatoes. Be sure the chunks are large enough; if they're too small they may disintegrate because of the lack of starch, I'm guessing.
