Thanks for the kind words! Tell a friend! 😉

I’ve dried and cooked hundreds of ducks in my life, and … if I had to be completely honest, this particular duck was a bit on the tough side. I think it has to do with the duck, itself. I’m accustomed to a different duck, than the one I’d purchased. Selection is limited, so … I take what I can get! It was definitely tasty, but if I had to do it over again, I’d cook it slower and longer and really try and break down the meat more … All this said … a good duck is hard to beat. I’d pick the meat from the bones, too!

All of you photos are gorgeous.
I personally tried duck for the first time this year and I could not stop picking at the carcass.. it was insanely delicious and your duck looks wonderful.
You are doing a great job!

Ok, I can try and move that up in my schedule. It’s still going to be about 2 weeks, though. Soon!

I have not personally tried the Atkins bars. I can’t find them in Mexico. However, I have tried a few other similar bars that I WAS able to find. In my experience, they stalled me. They were quite tasty and always hit the spot, but they’d stop my weight loss, dead in its tracks. Most of these bars (I can’t say all, because I really don’t know) tend to be full of sorbitol, malitol and/or vegetable glycerin, along with other sugar replacements, texturizers and bulking agents that all have a somewhat deceptive impact on blood sugars. My view is that these are ok in moderation and “in an emergency”, but that they shouldn’t really be viewed as an acceptable meal replacement or a daily replacement for candy bars. I have some in my cupboard (a box of them, actually … I was so excited when I saw them … I bought a lot!) … because of the stall they caused … the box is still there. I don’t throw them out … just in case. I do know I’ve read that others have been stalled by the Atkins bars … but others swear by them. I have no experience with them … I cannot say. Look at the ingredients for the bars. If they seem clean and clear … you might be luck! Ah, regarding drinks … again, it’s tough to find in Mexico. I did find a zero carb protein powder (Isopure, I think). When I first started, I would make all sorts of shakes with this as a base. These seemed fine and didn’t appear to stall me, but I always realized I was using them as a meal replacement, when … they weren’t intended to be used like that. The powder I was using was specifically for protein and bulking up. I believe there are some that ARE designed with a fuller nutrient profile, however. I suspect there’s a low or zero carb meal replacement powder out there that IS acceptable … I just don’t know what it is. Netrition.com has a good selection of these things. Check it out. Good luck!

I travel a lot and the bars are easy to pack for eating in the hotel.
