Truly NOT “An AHA! Moment” Or Experience - IMRAN™
I try to reduce my intake of my usual sugary poison, Pepsi, by trying alternative options. Most just disappoint, some can be interesting, but a few can be truly atrocious. The only diet drink I can tolerate is Diet Coke Vanilla, because the Pepsi version of that is almost impossible to get consistently at Publix or Winn-Dixie in Apollo Beach.
This alternate brand and flavor from Coca-Cola unfortunately falls in the definitely not an AHA moment experience category. I know it has no sodium and no sweeteners, but still, it tastes vile. Another variety of it with watermelon as the purported flavor was no better. Has anyone else tried it?
On a separate topic, I must say that I love how well the iPhone 13 Pro Max camera captured the tiny water droplets of condensation around the can even under my kitchen lighting.

Being on an extreme low carb diet has its challenges, but it’s been a good three weeks. My blood sugar numbers have dropped dramatically and I’ve lost ten pounds. No breads, no pastas, no rice, no sugars….even no diet sodas.
This is Jessica posing behind her birthday cake made of nothing but fruit, primarily watermelon. She has a commitment to not eat any sugar for an entire year, which made the traditional cake a no-no. This one was good, if you like watermelon.

This is a coffee cream soda before I stir it. Ingredients are:
One third coffee;
One third Muscle Milk vitamin and protein drink;
One or two tablespoons heavy whipping cream;
One third seltzer water.
In the summer I make it over ice..
Be careful to pour the seltzer in slowly because when it hits the cream it quickly froths up and can go over the rim of the large glass❣️
Alternate Recipe:
Heart Healthy Version
- Uses decaf brewed coffee or decaf instant coffee.
- Uses Muscle Milk instead of chocolate syrup with all its sugar
Unfortunately, I didn't have a chilled glass...;)) so I added:
Ice cubes,
Then I added:
Decaffeinated Coffee,
Refrigerated Muscle Milk protein drink,
Refrigerated Seltzer,
and,
Heavy whipping cream (not whipped.).
This is before stirring.
I did not have time to whip the cream since I was very thirsty (;-)
Note:
For my heart healthy version, I have modified it by using decaffeinated coffee, Muscle Milk as my sweetener instead of chocolate syrup, seltzer, and heavy cream instead of milk.
Last night’s dinner was yummy, but by late evening, I was so hungry. My blood glucose has dropped, at times, by 128 points, while slowly consistently dropping overall.

Homemade Coffee Cream Soda's Top Layer Spreading Downward Naturally.
When I was a kid spending summers at the beach in Brooklyn, I loved ordering egg creams at the soda fountains. They had no egg and no cream. They were made wth chocolate, seltzer, and milk. Everything was very cold.
The semi whipped cream was colder when I slowly added it on top, so it descended a wee bit.
I like it to let it mix mix naturally. feel free to stir it if you prefer.
I am allowed to have homemade coffee cream sodas on the Dr. Atkins diet. Well, not really. He frowns on caffeine. This would be okay using ground decaf coffee.
Ingredients;
#Fresh Brewed Starbucks and Dunkin Donuts Dark Roast Coffees
#Seltzer from the fridge
#Muscle Milk 100 - Vanilla
#Homemade Semi-Whipped Heavy Cream
#Last, add ice to individual taste to make it as cold as you like while keeping the fizz.
Amounts vary according to the individual's taste.
I partially whip the cream by half filling a small bottle and shaking vigorously for about a minute. You can feel when It is whipped enough. Practice helps. Whipped or not, it is always delicious.
At the end, sprinkle on pumpkin pie spices: These come prepackaged or separately: cinnamon, ginger nutmeg, allspice, cloves, cardamon, and vanilla bean extract.
The Muscle Milk is used because it is a vitamin and protein supplement.

Fourth day in and the numbers are slowing dropping.....and I’m dropping weight at the same time.
I even went to Starbucks to get coffee for Lindsey and I wasn’t even tempted.

Tried A New Bread Recipe.
Stu and I are watching our Carbs and so I thought I'd try something a little different today. This is Keto Bread. It's made with Almond Flour instead of Spelt. I got the slices cut so nice because I used my Electric Knife. It cuts through this like butter.

I used the first bay leaves from my Christmas wreath in a pot of soup the other day. For a couple weeks now, I’ve been strictly cooking from a Mediterranean cookbook.....plus, no sugars, no breads, no pasta, etc.

A visit to Handsome Coffee Roaster headquarters in Los Angeles, opening soon in Downtown.
We were given a friendly tour of their beautiful shop currently undergoing the finishing touches and getting ready to open in a couple of weeks. We drank superb coffee and I Ieft amazed with their unique humbleness and hospitality.
Thank you so very much Handsome Coffee Roaster!

ODC-Oktoberfest
When I lived in Canada the town I lived in would celebrate Oktoberfest at the Bavarian Tavern. The waiters were in the appropriate dress and they served beer and all sorts of tasty treats. Since I didn't have any Oktoberfest type of food on hand I decided to bake some Scones. I know Scones are served during Oktoberfest in some places and they are little pillows of yumminess. But, I decided to make them my way. These are made with Spelt flour and topped with fruit sweetened Strawberry Preserves.
The Flickr Lounge-Chocolate
One of my favourite things! I absolutely love chocolate.
I am trying very diligently to avoid sugar. It's hard, everything has sugar in it. Fortunately some health food stores do offer sugarless products like these Chocolate Chips. :) They are sweetened with Stevia which is probably the best sweetener since it's made from a plant. Back in 2000 I tasted a piece of a leaf from a Stevia plant and it is indeed very sweet!
