I know I'm bumping a really old thread, but according to that site, champaigne is really low in carbs! :)

It is fairly low, but note they give the carb count per ounce. ;)
A 160mL (5½ oz?) glass will give you around 2.7 carbs. That is assuming it is the driest sparkling wine, and that can vary from brand to brand, vintage to vintage.

I have certainly found that champagne/sparkling wine does tend to stop my weight loss.

I'm thinking about the holidays. My sister just e-mailed me today to tell me I'm spending Thanksgiving with the family. :-p There goes all my hard work. My sister is a die-hard low-fatter.

ah, pull up a chair at the turkey, and stuff your face with it. I'm sure there'll be some green beans somewhere, no?

I don't know. What I do know is I will be subjected to sitting at a table FULL of carbs.

Don't get me wrong - I will do some cooking, but if I even can't count calories for more than one day, I start gaining weight quickly, and it's real weight that doesn't come off.

I gained 10 pounds the last time I was there for her wedding, even though I tried to do the best I could given that she only had carbs in her house.

Here's my blog entry.

The big news today...my sister is free for Thanksgiving so it looks like I'm spending Thanksgiving with her and Dad in Seattle. Gack. And double gack...she wants me to drive up with Dad. She has a four day weekend; I do not. I gained 10 pounds during the time I was at her house for her wedding. She's a low-fatter. This is going to majorly suck, even if I do some low-carb cooking, which I plan to. I still see so much hard work going down the drain. One day off plan, okay. But 3-4 days off plan? The last time I did that for my glucose tolerance test I gained 10 pounds - weight I am still trying to get off. :eek:

April has never had a weight problem in her life and doesn't take a medication that makes her hungry 24/7. She also doesn't have the issues with food that I do. So she doesn't understand why I have to low-carb and why a little cheat can turn into a major binge, or that I really can gain 10 pounds of real weight in 5 days. :mad:

Oh... I know!!!!! you are going to have to be sooooo strong for this. I have been dreading sitting with people (tomorrow) at a meal I have no input on at all. I've been planning how to push food around my plate for effect.

I'm doing low carb/low calorie (loooowwwww calorie now), and one little slip puts me up again, so I understand TOTALLY.

Can you start to plan some dishes with her? Is there anyway you can sit her down and explain (forcefully if need be) that this is no joke. You need to eat this way. Make her see you are physically allergic to this type of food.

Why do people make it so hard for us? Watch me shrink, eat my dust (or ketones)

I'm going to do some cooking and e-mailed her to tell her I plan to introduce her to the joys of controlled-carb cooking. ;) I'm going to make cauliflower potatos and chocolate chocolate chip cheesecake (a new recipe I am testing out tomorrow), and of course I'll eat lots of turkey. Both the cauliflower and cheesecake recipes can be made with low-fat cream cheese to reduce the calories a bit.

Oh yeah...my Dad is type 2 diabetic and thinks he can eat anything he wants as long as he takes his insulin shots. :-p So he's no help either.

April is the kind of person who can eat one brownie and be done with it. Dad and I - nope. One brownie and it's all over. One brownie (low-carb or not) is five too many. :-p
