I have done an 800 calorie liquid only diet before but only for a week or two at a time.

If I was going to do a regular 800 calorie diet my main staple would be chicken breasts.

Has anyone here made Osso Buco? My local butcher has it on sale for $2.98 a pound. It sounds like a good price but I have only had it at restaurants.

I prefer to eat body parts I can't recognize :)

I made a coconut cottage cheesecake without added sugar, topped with sugar-free chocolate with peanut butter, coconut cream and shredded coconut.

It was very nice except that I failed to notice the chocolate was mint flavored. I like mint with chocolate, but, it turns out, not with coconut. <sigh>

I also made koshari again. I either need to add tomato sauce or double the amount of tomatoes I use to make my own sauce. Seeing as the latter is too much work, well, do the math... Oh, I can buy canned peeled and seeded tomatoes. But I've tried them before. They don't taste as good nor cook as well as fresh ones.

Tomorrow I'm making chili

Welll, I did the eggs, onions, butter, milk and cheese sticks.

Came out abit like liquid butter and solid every thing else. However, it was new to me... you know this more than one ingredient thing.And it did use up two of the onions.

You speak French, make some French onion soup? In the oven wouldn't be convenient but it would be well under 800 calories per day, leave you room for a couple bottles of booze.

Those stove top elements are beyond easy to change out.

>>You speak French,
No, Monsieur.
>> make some French onion soup?
I tend not to care for soups
>>Those stove top elements are beyond easy to change out.
Tweren't the element, but the wiring..shorted out by gallons of bleach.

I made scrambled eggs tonight and both eggs I opened were double yolks. I have never seen two that way. I would assume they were probably from the same chicken.

Did not work out....One large onion used up all my burrito slices.

I use onions every day. I buy 3 pound
bags on sale and hang them in my
root cellar like basement. I have 28
bags right now.
