Atkins Recipes: Mock Danish
 |
||
I performed my first low carb cooking demonstration and showed the world the wonders of the mock danish. Mock danishes were one of the new comfort foods that I learned how to cook and was used to kill cravings that threatened the diet early on. Some qualifications for Kent's comfort foods were it had to be both easy and quick to make, and it could not have a lot of ingredients to prep. Most of the recipes, I will be demonstrating have my seal of approval for taste and ease in preparation. :-)Here is the Mock Danish recipe:2 oz Cream Cheese, softened1 egg1.5 - 2 tsp Splenda (**count against artificial sweetener count for the day)1/2 tsp Vanilla1 TBS Ground Flax meal (optional)Topping1 TBS Butter.5 tsp SplendaDash Cinnamon

Mock Danish saved me last night! My husband went to the freezer and started scooping out his ice cream so I fired up the microwave and made a yummy low carb mock danish. Craving demolished.

The packets are "bulked" with maltodextrin (a complex carb), and it should be counted for .6 carbs per packet. The actual sucralose has no carbs, so if you use liquid Splenda (Ebay), you can avoid counting it.On page 87 - "It (saccharin) can be safely consumed in moderation, meaning no more than three packets a day."On page 95 - "Limit sweeteners to three packets a day."I hope this helps.

Thanks for responding to my "sugar intake" question regarding the Cream Cheese. I was indeed confused about how you read the sugar grams in the Nutritional facts; I've was on the Adkins years ago, and I did lose a lot of weight but I never ate anything that indicated any sugar grams on the NF - never considering the ingrediants. I know that this should have been common sense. This is good news for me. This is why your videos are so so helpful. Thank you.

I think you are confusing added sugar (sugar in the ingredients) to natural sugar within the product -- like tomatoes or cream cheese. I just checked my Wal-mart brand cream cheese, and while it has sugar (1g) in the nut. info, it does not have any in the ingredients. Since it is on the Acceptable Foods List, the recipe is perfectly fine for Induction.

This looks yummy, however, I cannot find Cream Cheese without sugar. The closest to no sugar was less than one gram. Being on the induction, sugar is out, right? So, is this receipe for the maintenance phase or is there actually a cream cheese with no sugar somewhere? Thx for your videos ~

Less sweetener the better. I have a feeling Dr. A really didn't think any artificial sweeteners were necessarily good, but granted them into the diet to make it more palatable. Could it stall you and cause cravings? Yes, there is a cephalic insulin reaction where the hormone insulin is released only because you thought were eating something sweet. You are doing very well in resisting the urge. Veggies are definitely a lot sweeter and tastier on Atkins than before.

Hey - always good to hear from a fellow midwesterner! It must be the quality of the beef that drives most of us to stay low carb. :-) I am glad you liked the recipe.
