Just chiming in way late ... but the whole carb counting thing was a hot topic back in 2003/2004 and then low carb took a nose-dive with a lot of big name manufacturers hopping on the wag and making substandard products, then claiming low carb didn't work and didn't sell, when it was their crap...

Wild guess, baking or parchment paper... what we would call the en papillote method. At least, that's what I would use.

Anyone have any ideas on how to clean these babies (pump/oil mister)? I've got a couple of them, and it's the 'glaze' the oil seems to develop on the plastic pump parts that's the problem for me...NOT flavorful and interferes with the pumping ("crap" in short). Hate to give up on them and go...

Have you got all the results you need, then? You're done collecting? :ermm: Darn.

What an interesting idea! I planned and (half-built, half-extended) mine, and am quite pleased with the results. Sadley, there's no seeing the bones of it under all the stuff on the counters and hanging from the dual potracks! I could certainly wish for a larger one...I was forced to do the...

I lowered my bad cholesteral and increased my good cholesteral, and vastly improved my ratios (doctor said "awesome ratios!") by getting rid of sugars and refined starches in my life. Kept the beef and pork (and the good fats in oils, and fibers in nuts and flaxseed, and the "good"...

Actually, I do :chef:....this works best for North American labels, but go here: http://www.expertfoods.com/FAQ/labelbasics.php Enjoy.

I have never seen anything to indicate good clean natural coconut products raise the LDL or bad cholesteral in the body. Matter of fact, it seems more the other way, that coconut oil is a healthy fat.

Actually, sushi rice is seasoned with vinegar and sugar, it's distinctly sweet. I go for handrolls (cones) when I'm treating myself to some marvelously healthy sushi style foods, that way it either has less 'seasoned' rice (I avoid white or not-whole/processed carbohydrates and grains, minimum...

For topping vegetables and other flavoring purposes, I actually use I Can't Believe It's Not Butter Spray, which has a surprisingly "clean" ingredient list. A good low calorie option. For other quick sautes and egg frying, I actually use a (coconut oil based) MCT Oil with natural butter...

Sadly, if one is not excercising (properly or at all), preferably weight training as you pointed out, and one is not paying attention to the proteins, one is DEFINITELY not doing Atkins -- or any "low" or controlled carb regime -- correctly. It pays to do the reading and the research, no...

You're mixing up ketosis and ketoacidosis (which is often done, they're very close in spelling). You're in and out of ketosis all the time, in low carb it's a more "steady state". Ketones (ketosis is the production of ketones as a byproduct of breaking down fats) are the body's alternate...

I'm in the precise middle of a year of culinary training, having come from a lifetime of selfteaching and watching, like you. :chef: I have Professional Cooking, and the New Professional Chef, but right now I'm liking On Cooking (Labensky et al). Plenty of copies of just about any good text...

Greetings, Swifty, from a fellow Canadian (I'm out on Vancouver Island)! If you're watching Food Network Canada, you've GOT to watch Anna Olsen in her show "Sugar", she is a baker and Pastry Chef extraordinaire! I've got some great and simple ideas from watching that show. Enjoy!

I've been using MasterCook for years, from version 3 through 7. There's usually a good workaround solution for almost any known "problem" available on THIS webpage -- http://mastercook_cupboard.tripod.com/ -- usually somebody else has wanted to do whatever it is... and if that fails to provide...

Oh dear, you're getting heavily in biochemistry here. WAY too big a subject for a culinary perspective...:chef:

Other than taking issue with the idea that coconut milk is unhealthy :mad: (except for those cans with added sulfites, don't go there...), here's an idea: use a good plain soy milk or almond milk (can even make this one) with that coconut extract as an alternative. Nice and creamy. I...

Yikers, doesn't anyone notice the dangers in transfats (hydrogenated, partially or otherwise), especially for those at greater risk of really nasty endstage complications, like diabetics... ? CoolWhip, do check the Ingredients list sometime. Margarine, generally wouldn't touch it with a...

"ounce for ounce" :huh: plain pork rinds (or fried pigskins) have 1g less fat and tons more protein than plain potatoe chips...not that you'd be eating those anyway, right? ps: minimeals, i.e., snacks, are inclusive of apple breaks, etec. the idea is to eat, preferably something protein to...

What differences were you hoping to notice?
