Thanks Tony! That makes sense and is kind of what I figured but I would still love to hear Doug why you chose 20 as a general target.

General Discussion / 20 net carbs
« on: October 25, 2012, 02:08:18 PM »
Hello All
Back again. Just wondering where the 20 net carbs comes from. Why 20 as opposed to 25 or 30. I am not sure if there is an explanation for this in the book, I've read it twice but most recent prob 6 months ago so I don't remember. Just curious.

Yes they make great left overs! I'm thinking of trying the same idea but using chicken/alfredo sauce and other grilled up veggies. I'll post how it turns out once I try!

I had read a few posts on here (I forget what thread it is now) about at 50 posts earning the baking book or carb counter. Just wondering what thats all about and if its still going on (I forgot to check the date).

Dinner Recipes / Zucchinni Boats
« on: February 05, 2012, 12:35:19 PM »
I'll start off by saying this is my Moms recipe (ladyluck) but I thought I'd post it while I was on here. Very Tastey!!!
Cut however many zucchini's you are going to use in half length wise. With a spoon scoop a shallow dip in the centre of each zucchini half.
Fry up some hamburger meat. You can add diced onions, mushrooms, peppers is you like, I didn't have time.
Add a generous amount of chili powder and garlic.
Add the lowest carb pasta/tomato sauce you can find. Just enough to wet the meat, dont make it too saucy. I think she used 1 cup for 1 package of hamburger meat. Handful of cheese mixed in to help it stick.
Stuff the zuchinni boats with the hamburger meat, sprinkle cheese on top (I used the pre-shredded nacho mix bag of cheese)
Bake in oven at 365 for 30-40 mins.
Sprinkle with some parm cheese if you'd like. Makes a great lunch or dinner! Leftovers good to. Made them for a family get together yesterday and everyone loved them.

Are they 1 carb Rena? The only appeal to me my egg white cartons had was that it was 0 carbs. I always hate that eggs have one carb, I feel so jipped 
But I do agree a real egg is better for omellettes or fried eggs!!

« on: February 05, 2012, 11:04:08 AM »
Can someone double check this for me. The s/f syrup I use says PARTIALLY sweetened with Splenda. I didn't see dextrose or maltodextrin in the ingredients list but I just want to make sure I got this right.

General Discussion / Carb Master Yogurt
« on: February 04, 2012, 02:29:27 PM »
Hi All
I see everyone talking about yogurt specifically carbmaster. I haven't been able to find any yogurt here that is low enough in carbs that I'm happy with, and I might be taking a shopping trip to Watertown New York tomorrow so I was wondering where everyone gets it form?? Or if theres other fav. brands that are low. They have a really big Wal-Mart superstore, Target, Sams Club and Price Chopper (those are the only places I've been that have food sections)
Let me know of any other must haves that you guys buy from those stores on a regular basis. Any help in organizing my shopping the better!

I think I've had an OMM everyday since I got the recipies!! I made mine with vanilla and cinnamon and eat it with a little bit of s/f syrup. YUM. 
My almond flour has 3 net carbs/ 1/4 cup. Is this the average. I saw Rena you wrote it ranged from 1-4. I would love to find the kind that only has 1 or even 2net carbs. I prefer almond flour over the flax (taste like cake to me) but I can be very cheap with wasting my carbs!
My flax seed flour just says whole flax, I'm assuming thats not the golden stuff?? Maybe thats the problem!

I haven't found the NOW brand and I think the kind of got was organic $11.99/bag at Metro. Will the almond flour be in the refrigerator section or just the flax meal? What store did you find them at?

« on: February 04, 2012, 02:12:46 PM »
Hi ES15 I just wanted to warn you to be very careful, the splenda and most look alikes you find in the stores actually have carbs. For instance the splenda you find in the bag to cook with actually has 24 carbs per cup. The calories and carbohydrates come from the dextrose and/or maltodextrin, which are added for bulk. If I remember right Doug suggests to count each packet as 1 carb
Thanks Toosweet! It definitly has maltodecxtrin in it. You just saved me alot of extra carbs. Not fair that they get to say 0 on the label!
