Understand totally now about the fat content, but still I should watch how much I eat.
I do enjoy food, I am also Chinese so you would think Asian folks are generally slim.. to an extent it is generally true but I should get rid of my belly fat and around those areas after 26 years living in the US, I am thinking of converting some recipes to low carb, I love rice...guess it'll seriously need to be cauliflower rice from now on which I also love but I will be the only one having it so gotta be strong at staying with that, I love tofu, tofu cake/patties or any type of veggies stewed with sauce and I have been looking at some Indian veggie dishes so may consider some of their ideas.  I am not too heavy on meat except for seafood which I do not eat excessively as well, salmon and shrimp, sardines etc, but still overweight so apart from overeating sometimes it may very well be the overload on carbs.

Thank you for all the support, this is a great forum and if I address my issues here I believe I should be able to achieve what I want with all the feedback and support and encouragement. Tks again.

General Discussion / Concern with Fat content
« on: September 13, 2010, 05:05:17 PM »
Hello friends,

I love the recipes and clever ideas for all the recipes, but I have always wondered whether the fat content was safe, for example I can make the shirataki without any meat and just veggies or some tofu curry, quiche and many more, a lot of them require cheese, butter, oil for frying and while I know having enough oil is definitely more easy to cook the food and more flavorable, I worry about the calories even if i use olive or canola oil and the fat adding up in cheese and butter or egg yolks. Any ideas anyone? Those can clog up our arteries and accumulate cholesterol on our bodies.

Can anyone also suggest which type of flour has the lowest carb count? I know there is soy flour, almond etc. but which one has the lowest carb anyone? I totally agree that cutting the hidden sugar absolutely works as I have tried very quickly and seen some results even in a day or so, I was thinking if the recipe has kind of a high fat count, shouldn't we also be concerned?  A little confused there as excess calories will pack up the pounds especially like me as I am not very active at all, or is there another solution...perhaps the sugar in our bodies are much more critical as opposed to the fat?? A bit confused there.

Thanks for all your answers, I look forward to learning more about the FTS way of cooking.
