[QUOTE="suejat, post: 425773, member: 46714"] Hi Julie, It's certainly easier than it was on day 3!! I've looked through the recipes, and they will certainly make life easier. I agree with you about cauliflower. I've used it as a "mash" substitute on and off for ages---- it's especially nice with a little cheese melted on the top!! I haven't heard of cauliflower rice though. I haven't eaten any white carbs since I discovered what they did to my BG shortly after I was diagnosed in 2005. I do occasionally miss a good pie, and I always used to toast the crusts on white loaves and butter them hot, but multigrain bread in small doses is good (at least it mops up egg yolk quite well) Your almond/butter pastry also makes a good cheesecake base instead of biscuit crumbs, but I hadn't thought of using it for quiche-- will be making that in a couple of weeks---. Yes I live in Spain. The summer this year has been very strange --- a month of very hot sun, but far more rain than usual, and spring was windy. Still its not too bad now----- temps are around 23/24. For me too it was the explanation of the visceral fat which made me think the diet might work, but I understood that in order for the body to start using the stored fat it had to be in a state of ketosis ---- which is why I was suprised to see lemon juice used to season, and carrots and peas included (carrots are fairly high in carbs, peas are counted as legumes in most diets, and citric acid prevents the body going into a state of ketosis). I have heard that recently he's said that any diet will cause this fat loss if it's followed for long enough, but I wouldn't swear to this. Still, if his guinea pigs got their results using these recipes, then who am I to argue --- I am definitely on the bandwagon!! It has certainly helped talking to you. Sue. P.S. cauliflower makes a great topping for cottage pie instead of mash--- so too does celeriac if you like the taste. Has the diet made a difference to you? It sound as if you have got yourself sorted out now, which is always good [/QUOTE]
