Oooo, yeah, Wolf.  Looks pretty easy too.  We make oatmeal cookies too, usually with raisins added.  I think the coconut will really add something to it.  I LOVE coconut.

Add a bit more syrup if you like them crunchy and tastier.

All kinds of yummy goody goodies..Sounds good Ruth.  If I didn't enjoy this kind of stuff I wouldn't have an weight problem. Just as soon as I can get my metabolism working again, maybe one now and then won' t be so bad on me. this is something this diet stresses, that to constantly live on an low carbyhydrate diet tends to slwo down the metabolism...so eventually you have yourself in an bind with still eating and stuck on an weight plateau. Yes, to brign it up, you "yo-yo" on this diet, from losing, to stabilzing to priming up th ementabolism, and then go back on th elower losing, along with the excerises. the excerises, help you to build muscels so your able to burn your food better that you do eat. I'll try it.  It is something new to me, and makes sense, if some gal from Austrailia can lose some 485 pounds, there must be something to it.I must say, it tends to speak of older women losing sucessfully also.

Here's an dinner menu...Split 1 whole wheat Englsih muffin in half, Divide 1/3cup of tomato sauce 1/4 cup sliced mushrooms, 1/3 cup of shredded mollerrella cheesebetween each of the halves to make 2 mini pizzas.  Bake in an toaster oven until the cheese melts. Serve with an salad of 2 cups of spinach leaves, fresh raw veggies, 4 oz. grilled chicken and 50 calories of light dressing. They set their meal's at 400 calories...so it's done already for you in counting calories.

Yes, Shirley, that's great.  We've made English muffin pizzas loads of times. I love fresh spinach too.  But I'm afraid such simple low-cal meals leave me a bit of room for afters, like something really decadent, like a brownie a la mode with hot fudge sauce.
