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.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.
