Low Carb Diet (atkins)

ravylesley

Oooh all this talk of wine has made me realise its FRIDAY and ITS HALF TERM NEXT WEEK!!!!!!!!!!

That means I can have a voddie and coke tonight and I dont have to rush round like a headless chicken next week to get the kids out of the door by 9am!! Woooohooooo pj's till dinner I think:rotfl:

Tinks I love the egg custard recipe and might give it a go.But one quick question was looking on the splenda box and its pretty damn high in carbs.I thought sugar replacements were carb free?

Oh just thought I'd add that I had a curry for tea last night and rather than have rice thought I try the grated cauli.I've tried this before but as I use frozen cauli it tends to go soggy after cooking and its a messy job to grate it .But last night I grated it still frozen and it works a treat and not messy at all and then cooked it after grating.It wasn't messy at all and came out really well.If you're using frozen cauli its well worth a try

splenda is made from sugar, so it will always have high carbs.

but given that a huge box weighs about 125g, you'd never use so much as to be affected.

that said, sweeteners can stall some people, so you probably don't want to use it regularly

I'd wondered about doing that (grating first, then cooking), so useful to know that it worked for you. How long did you cook it for once grated? Must have been just a minute or so?

Oh it was literally seconds as I poured just a little boiling water over it and brought it back to the boil,then served

thanks for the tip

I love my weekly weightloss too much to risk it by overdoing the sweet stuff:D

Last time I did it I grated a raw fresh cauli and then sauteed it in some butter. Came out good too:)
