Low Carb Diet (atkins)

Badger_Lady

Well I'm on Day 1 of Rose Elliot's induction plan - although my schedule today has meant that I only had half the breakfast at 6am, and am eating my lunch now!!!

Therefore my version is:
- Breakfast, two scrambled eggs (no milk/cream)
- Lunch, romaine lettuce with goat's cheese and pecan nuts
- Supper, asparagus quiche with watercress
- Snacks, raspberries

the only difference is the amount of flax and/or almond flour u use.

Doesn't Saz's have an egg in it, and yours doesn't? Unless I jotted them down wrong.

No worries, it was a useful error. Omit the egg, add some water and Splenda - voila, flapjacks.

Talking about instant breads has inspired me to try them this morning, especially as I have soup for my lunch today and I wanted something to go with it.

I made Shykins's recipe, and used half almond flour and half flax. I don't think I added enough cream, as the 'loaf' came out very very crumbly when it was cooked. But the taste and texture reminded me of flapjacks. So I had another go, adding a little water to the mix this time - and a teaspoon of Splenda. Got DD to blind-taste it and she asked me if it was a flapjack! Then I ate the rest, warm, with cream. Delicious! I don't think I'd use it as a bread substitute but sweetened, for pudding - yum!

Next I had a go at Saz's flax bread. Nice texture, and looked just like a mini-loaf! Was quite nice spread with butter, and would definitely be good with soup.

What is flax and where do I get it from please?

something odd going on here - your wonderful recipie post is #3224 on page 81 for me, I knew it couldn't be page 162 as I only have 102!

I think the paging is down to my screen but has the post number moved or is my computer just operating in some different universe?
