Low Carb Cooking



Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone,

We are always talking about watching the amount of carbs that we eat each day. I keep trying to find ways to satisfy my needs to eat low carbs yet have delicious food. Well I discovered a new cookbook that I just love. :wub:

This guy was on QVC and I thought to myself these recipes and foods sounds so great—but do they really taste this good. They (QVC) has a policy that you can return anything in 30 days if you don’t like what you purchased, so what did I have to lose—NOT a thing.

OK, I LOVE this book. :D

For Breakfast I made “cheese Danish Dreams” Doesn’t this sound good? It has 260 Calories Fat: 24 grams, Protein: 10.5 grams. Fiber: 0 Grams and Net Carbs: 2 grams. Prep time 5min. Cook time 2 min Serves 2

Shopping List:

4 ounces cream cheese, softened

2 large eggs

2 tablespoons Splenda

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon

  1. Add all of the ingredients to a bowl and mix with a fork until smooth.
  2. Pour the mixture evenly into the bottom of 2 microwaveable Cereal bows and microwave on high for 2 minutes, until springy around the outside and soft in the center.
  3. Use spatula to remove Danishes from bottom of bowls, and let cool 2 to 3 minutes before serving.
  4. You can top with additional cinnamon and sugar substitute before serving, or add fresh berries or sliced almonds to the cent for something even better. I had fresh Raspberries and it was so good. :rolleyes:

The Book is called “Still Livin Low Carb and the author is George Stella.

The cost of the book is $17.67 plus postage of $6.72 for a total cost of $24.39.

In 3 ½ years I have never recommended a cookbook, but this is one that I thought you would really enjoy :lol:

For dinner we had Flourless Focaccia bread that was like a pizza. It is GREAT and made with Soy & Flaxseed Flour. Net Carbs: 4.5 grams.

Sometimes I am just looking for new ideas and this truly was an inspiration to me to find this book.

I didnt run across that one yet. I am going buy it right now. My wife and kid n I was discussing our new diet being I just got sleeved last friday. I dont plan on starving them but correcting their bad hi carb diets which I was guilty of before also. Nothing better than a complete family change so a variety in cookbooks sure do keep things interesting.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
