Disastrous Low-carbing...



The Low-carb Cook's Nook Presents...


In The Event Of Emergency...
Can You Still Low-carb??


Well, how bad IS it? If you're digging or swimming out of a massive hurricane like Katrina, if you're roofless or homeless, if you're snowed in and the power is out, then survival *now* is your #1 priority & you have bigger problems to deal with than carbs.

But can you PREPARE AHEAD FOR EMERGENCIES?

Be it EARTHQUAKE (where F00D Angel lives)... HURRICANE (where FOOD Magic lives)... BLIZZARD... TORNADO... FLOOD... FIRE... MUDSLIDE... TSUNAMI... or any kind of disaster...
HOW DO YOU PREPARE?

The first time we talked about this topic was the fall of 1999 and the subject was

"What IF y2K is a disaster!?!?!

Thankfully, things turned out fine, but there was a lesson there...

The last two years here, things weren't as bad as The Weather Channel thought, but who knows what we have ahead of us?

No matter where you live, there is some kind of weather disaster that can occur...

BUT THE PREPS ARE THE SAME:
Food that stays without refrigeration.

water supplies.

how-to-cook-without-power.

portable potables.

If it's at all possible, stay on your WOE... you will feel better & stronger, and be better able to deal with the stresses.

SO don't forget batteries, remember to pack your cooler, hunker down...

The Frugal Low-carber


Dear Low-carbers,

The cost of food has REALLY skyrocketed in the last year, partly due to rising fuel costs. And now we don't have rice and beans and macaroni-and-cheese to stretch the budget anymore.


What is a low-carber to DO?

We know it's not all steak and shrimp and bacon...

But there's a limit to what you can do with hamburger meat, canned tuna, and chicken quarters.

Or is there??


Join us this week for tips and shopping ideas, as well as recipes for low-carbing on a shoestring! Magic is on the East Coast and Angel is on the West Coast and we have chatters everywhere between and more... the more people who come to this chat, the better we will be able to help each other with tips on where to find the best bargains.
