Low Carb Recipes

This recipe comes courtesy of Linda’s Low Carb Recipe site (http://www.genaw.com/lowcarb/buttered_almond_creme_brulee.html). In the amount per ramekin cup as shown, it would not be Induction friendly, but given smaller ramekin, all the ingredients would be acceptable for all 4 phases of the Atkins Diet. I like this recipe even better than the previous Panna Cotta recipe I posted here on YouTube. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eS4Kp8T8AoQ)
Buttery Almond Creme Brulee
2 cups, Heavy Cream
1/2 cup Splenda, or liquid equivalent
1 tsp Vanilla Extract
4 Egg Yolks
Pinch Salt
Topping
1 oz Almonds, roughly chopped
1 TBS Butter
1 TBS Splenda
1. Heat Cream to almost boiling
2. Combine rest of the ingredients
3. Temper egg yolk mixture with heavy cream
4. Pour into 4 ramekins and bake at 350 degrees (25-30 minutes) Check every 5 minutes after that to ensure doneness.

Here is another one in the Induction-friendly series for all the new low carbers subscribing to my channel. I wanted to thank each and every one of my subscribers. For without them there would be no channel or dialogue on how to refute the media and get healthy. Thanks for watching!
Atkins Diet Revolution Rolls:
3 eggs, separated
3 oz Cream Cheese
1/4 tsp Cream of Tartar
2 tsp Splenda
Salt, dash
Makes 6 servings
Bake at 300 degrees for 35-55 minutes
Nutrition Info: (per serving)
90 Calories, 7g Fat, 6g Protein, .5g Carb.
here are most likely problems with the recipe:
1. Mixing or beating (not folding) the Egg Whites into the Yolks / Cream Cheese
2. Not beating the egg whites long? enough (weak peaks) or no cream of tartar
3. Potentially not cooking the buns long enough or too long
4. Letting bits egg yolks in your egg white bowls
This recipe works well as a take off for other ideas like French Toast (add cinnamon) or other tweaks.

Quite often, the Atkins Diet follower brings with them many family favorite recipes. One of the challenge is how to convert those old recipes or new ones found in cookbooks to being more “low carb” friendly.

In this long Quick Hits video, I discuss whether kids or teenagers (as my daughter oft reminds me) should follow the Atkins Diet as prescribed or a more moderate low carb or carb conscious plan.
I respond by saying that for most teenagers a lower carb approach is probably best, especially not if the choice is not driven by the child themselves. I believe as parents we are called to teach our kids a healthy way of eating, and while acknowledging kids’ environment and choices, we should make and help them choose to eat wisely, which by almost any standard should not include “whites” – refined starches and sugars. There should be no requirement for breading or donuts to be healthy or happy. The challenge with kids and teenagers is therefore school lunch programs and their unhealthy nature.
This is by no means a discouragement for teenagers, who may want to try Atkins Diet due to an internal desire to lose weight. I just want them to be aware of what their decision means.

I wanted to make another Induction Friendly recipe, and what better way to extend one’s food budget than a meat loaf recipe. Most traditional meat loaf recipes have binders of bread crumb to hold it together and soak up some of the beef fat. They also can be a little dry on the outside as the center gets to the right temp.
This recipe attempts to fix both of those concerns. The binder in this recipe is the cheese (cheddar and the Parmesan). The Parmesan really performs the same function as the bread crumbs did. The coating of bacon also helps keep the top from over cooking.
This recipe is derived from a recipe at Linda’s Low Carb recipe site (http://genaw.com/lowcarb/bacon_beef_rolls.html).
Ingredients
2.5# Ground Beef
2 eggs, beaten
1 Medium Red Pepper, chopped
1 Medium Onion, chopped
2 TBS Grated Parmesan Cheese
1 tsp Salt
1/4 tsp Pepper
2 TBS Worcestershire sauce
4 oz Cheddar Cheese
1/4 cup Low Carb Ketchup
Makes 10 servings
Per Serving: 304 Calories; 20.5g Fat; 24.1g Protein; 4g Carbs (.5g Fiber, 3g Net Carbs)

My second cooking show on how to make low carb comfort foods. Fauxtatoes are a great dish to have at Thanksgiving or for those who typically have to fight to get their veggies. A couple of my kids and my wife even make cameo appearances in this video. It’s the least I can do for all the taste testing I make them endure as I try new recipes. My non-low-carbing family members even like this recipe as an alternative to starchy mashed potatoes.
Try this recipe; I think it’ll be a hit with you as well!
Recipe:
1 Head Cauliflower
2.5 TBS Butter
1/3 cup Heavy Cream
1 Chicken Bouillon cube
1 tsp salt
White pepper to taste
Directions:
* Cook Cauliflower until fork tender. Drain well.
* Place cooked cauliflower and other ingredients (crush bouillon cube first) into the food processor. Run on high until consistency of mashed potatoes. You may need to scrape the sides of the bowl a couple times to prevent lumps.

This video comes out of the multiple comments I have received does it work as well for X as it does for Y. Often, Low carb as been seen as a “Man’s” diet. While it certainly does work for men quite well, it works for women as well too. The second half of this video deals with does it work better for the morbid obese people like my former self or just slightly overweight people.
Male vs. Female:
Role of a critical visceral adipose tissue threshold (CVATT) in metabolic syndrome: implications for controlling dietary carbohydrates: a review
Eric S Freedland
Boston University School of Medicine
Nutrition & Metabolism 2004, 1:12
“Jeff Volek and colleagues, from the University of Connecticut, also show for the first time that a low carbohydrate diet is much more effective in losing fat from the stomach and chest. They found that fat loss in men was three-times greater in the trunk area, when they were on a low-carbohydrate regime compared to the low-fat diet. Nearly all participants in the study (12 of 15 men and 12 of 13 women) lost more fat on their upper body on the low- carbohydrate diet.”
Comparison of the Atkins, Zone, Ornish, and LEARN Diets for Change in Weight and Related Risk Factors Among Overweight Premenopausal Women
http://jama.ama-assn.org/cgi/content/abstract/297/9/969
“Results Weight loss was greater for women in the Atkins diet group compared with the other diet groups at 12 months, and mean 12-month weight loss was significantly different between the Atkins and Zone diets. Mean 12-month weight loss was as follows: Atkins, 4.7 kg, Zone, LEARN, 2.6 kg, and Ornish, 2.2 kg. Weight loss was not statistically different among the Zone, LEARN, and Ornish groups. At 12 months, secondary outcomes for the Atkins group were comparable with or more favorable than the other diet groups. ”

Among the 277 male participants, the mean 24-month weight changes were 3.4 kg for the low-fat group, 4.0 kg for the Mediterranean-diet group, and 4.9 kg ( 6.2 max) for the low-carbohydrate group. Among the 45 women, the mean 24-month weight changes were 0.1 kg for the low-fat group, 6.2 kg for the Mediterranean-diet group, and 2.4 kg (max loss 6.9) for the low-carbohydrate group

Effects of Low-Carbohydrate vs Low-Fat Diets on Weight Loss and Cardiovascular Risk Factors
A Meta-analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials

My opinion on the morbid obese vs. slightly overweight argument is that both groups can be very successful on low carb. There are probably more people that have reached goal with 20-40 pounds lost than 100+ pounds lost. I do sometimes have reservation that those with 10-20 pounds to lose might not be as willing to make the tough choices as those that have hit rock bottom and see the medical problems of their excess weight. They may be more attracted to the quick weight loss and return quickly to their old eating styles once at goal. Those with few pounds to lose also need to progress through OWL and the carbohydrate rungs more quickly than those with more weight to lose. There are a number of successful examples though of people ever here at Youtube who had only a few pounds to lose and saw the health benefits of low carbing.
A notable example of a person like this is SugarFreeShiela, http://www.sugarfreesheila.com/. I highly suggest you check her story out.

In this video, I deal with the issue of planning and how to resist temptation with a tool that should be in every low carbers possession, especially new ones. That is a low carb emergency kit. This kit should help resist temptation by reminding you why you want to lose the weight and take care of any hunger pains.
What’s in it:
(Food)
* Beef Sticks — no sugar or corn syrup
* Summer Sausage
* Nuts (portioned 1 oz packages)
* String Cheese
* Protein Shake
* Flax granola / cookie
Non-food:
* Before Photo
* Why you want to lose the weight (Negative / Positive)
* List of the Atkins Induction Acceptable Foods List
Much thanks for ideas of the list to 2big4mysize and Laura Dolson (About.com low carb guide)
