Canned beans in tomato sauce are OK. Did the tomato sauce have sugar added?
I usually find the Generic Wal-Mart brand is no sugar.

absolutely Ollie.. and thank you.

.I finished a series but will need more more than likely unless by The Grace of God my CT scans come back clear..I have had lots of tests in the last couple of weeks and have the verdict on the 28th...Pray for just a little time no chemo and a chance to get over all the side affects..and maybe go away for a little vacation..
Thanks for the welcome back Pam...I have to break the sugar addiction and it is very tough..

Don't know how Lulu65 makes her chicken burgers, but my husband and I love ground chicken. I buy it all the time. We think it tastes much better than ground turkey, and my husband is not much of a fan of beef anyway. It is also much more reasonably priced than so many other meats in the stores. I not only use it for chicken burgers (nothing added to the chicken burgers, just browned in a pan with a little oil), but I also use it for soups, spaghetti, tacos, sloppy joes. Anything you put ground beef in, you can put ground chicken in. We really like it. Jerrie

Lulu what do you mean - go Boston?

Just as I am typing this I see Montreal just won!

Game 7 for Vancouver vs Chicago is just about to start!

ahh Cameron I was cheering for Boston..... just popping in to say I will not be doing this woe for awhile... Dr's orders rice and banana and meat diet.. medical reasons..
Wishing everyone a healthy spring and summer

Hey LuLu, you can still hang out with us!
Only thing different is the rice.
Just choose the least processed rice, do everything else LDL, and report back your findings!

lulu65 · Post by **lulu65** » May 4th, 2011, 11:13 pm

Thank you for that Linda.. I appreciate it..

Lulu- Prayers for a return to health. Please stay connected with your LDL "family." Pam

yeah girl....don't be a stranger...LDL is all about making it work for you in a way that you can stick to!!! :inlove:

It is official I am on a low residue diet.. and i really find it difficult.. it limits so many really healthy foods and when facing chemo again next week
this is by no means LDL as beans are not allowed, lentils etc.. any fiber ( non soluble) is not allowed..
I was just beginning to really like LDL more as the potatoes are now allowed.. I will l admit I had given RT a really hard time over potatoes and other items but I do believe it will be more doable (for me at least with the potatoes) in this woe..I can have potatoes just not the skin or skin on any fruit, no berries, no salads, no broccoli, only certain veggies and nothing raw in veggies..

Thank you for your friendships here.. I will be back to post as I get more into this new way of eating..

Today

eggs (2) fried (non stick pan with spray)
white toast, 1 slice ff cheese

going out with dear daughter this afternoon to Ottawa for tulip festival and down near the famous Byward market area for supper.. this should be interesting.. she loves Thai and says well Mom I could eat Thai since you are allowed rice.. lol.. right!!!!..... so I sit and eat rice while you eat all that great food.. so this will be fun to see where we end up...

Have a great day everyone
