any suggestions?
I had 1/4 of a watermelon (love watermelon!) for breakfast. Was getting hungry at 2pm, so I sauteed chopped onions, green peppers in 1 T ICBINB, then added 1 can drained sweet corn (no salt, no sugar)
heated 1 can of northern beans and mashed some of them, added those to above mixture, heated through and added a little lite salt. Trouble was, not much flavor. Any suggestions as to what I could have added to make it more tasty?
I sure did get filled up though.

Re: any suggestions?
Some chicken breast with some chicken broth? Or add some salsa. Did you plan not to have animal protein for lunch?

Re: any suggestions?
Thank you Linda. I didn't realize we HAD to have animal protein for lunch. I thought beans were protein.
I haven't gotten my book yet.
I have been getting ideas from the message boards.
Chicken and chicken broth sounds yummy! Will try it.

you don't....you can choose to have your protein for dinner....it is better having it as early in the day as possible, but this is a way of eating to go the long haul, so making it fit your lifestyle is very important...
beans are an incomplete protein by themselves......if you eat corn at any time during the day, they add the missing amino acid to your diet in order to turn it into a complete protein......ALSO, by eating even a small amount of animal protein, that also completes the protein in the beans....
life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass...it's about learning to dance in the rain..

Re: any suggestions?
Waquin,
I thought it might help you to see what a normal LDL day is for me...
Breakfast between 9 and 10 am: As much fruit as I can eat and sometimes when I am still hungry I have one egg fried in olive oil and one corn thin.
Lunch between 2 and 3: I usually make a really big meal -- my Unstuffed Cabbage is one of my favorites. But, I always have my heavy protein at this meal and make one of the many Main Dishes in the recipe section. Along with my main dish, I'll also have a salad and a vegetable and I eat until full every time.
Dinner/Supper between 5 and 6: Fruit smoothie with a big bowl of popcorn or a couple bowls of soup that contain beans and veggies but no meat, chicken, turkey, fish. Sometimes I have 3-bean salad (one of my favorites).

Re: any suggestions?
Waquin,
You do not HAVE to have animal protein, I was just thinking since it did not hold you, you may need to eat more protein. Sometimes I go a couple days with out animal protein and then I end up FAMISHED. That hunger usually goes away when I get enough. It would be better if I got a little every day, sometimes it just doesn't work out that way for me, though.

Re: any suggestions?
VickiLynn....What is your unstuffed cabbage recipe? Sounds really good. As a young child in WI....the ladies at church made these things with cabbage and ground beef which was stuffed into a thin bread dough. I think they were called Kraut Kuchen. Nothing better than those church gatherings with all that good homemade food. Such good memories. Your recipe made me think of those.......without the bread. Would you mind sharing it or is it already in the recipe area? Thanks.

UKGrad, my wife is from Central Kansas and they make something similar called Beirocks. They are pretty much Cabbage and hamburger cooked together and stuffed into Bread Dough and baked. I think they are German in origin.

I don't know how strict you are being about no salt, but I found something called "Janes Krazy Mixed Up seasonings" at the grocery store - my friends had used it in a pot of beans and it was so good I wanted some. It is atype of salt but also has alot of herbs, spices, onion and garlic - makes a little "salt" alot more flavorful.

Re: any suggestions?
If you can't have salt ( I can't because of blood pressure) you may want to check out the organic no salt seasoning from Costco. I use it on meats and in soups and I love the taste.
Ingred:
onion, garlic,carrot, black pepper, red bell pepper, tomato granules, orange peel, parsley, bay leaves, thyme, basil, celery, lemon peel, oregano, savory, mustard seed, cumin, marjoram, corlander, cayenne pepper, citric acid and rosemary.

Re: any suggestions?
Does that have a brand name - we don't have a costco here - we do have a sams - it sounds good

Re: any suggestions?
It is a costco brand but I would think that Sams may have something equal to it or at least close. Or you can also shop on line with costco so you might be able to get it that way.
