Spiraliser

My mother bought me a Lurch spiraliser in June as a wedding anniversary present, haven't even taken it out of the box yet. Other than using it for courgettes I really don't know how to use it on a LCHF diet. Kohl rabi maybe ? Fennel, carrot, potato, parsnip, turnip, celeriac and swede are all on the NO list.
 
You cana make things like cucumber and peppers etc a lot less boring.. Presentation is everything!!
 
Sweet potato isn't off a LCHF diet totally... It has good nutients in it compared to a normal spud...

I know you can do lots of different veg, e.g, carrots, but carrots aren't compatible with LCHF so are no use to me!

Ok I get that carrots are off for some but a little spiralize do carrot goes a long way probably about 1 - 2g of carbs. You say you know you can do lots of different veg so I'm sorry I don't really understand your question. Do you mean can you do other things other than veg?
Things I have spiralize do
Courgette, carrot, Apple pear, peppers, cucumber, cauliflower, broccoli, onion, fennel, cabbage, radishes, sweet potato, small new potatoes, brussel sprouts, beetroot, celeriac, turnip.

The higher carbs ones obviously in smaller portions, but because they are cut so fine they go a long way. I made a fennel and apple coleslaw today to go with a crustless quiche for supper, I used about 1/2 an apple served 2 of us and there is still a portion in the fridge.

The only thing that didn't really work was aubergine it sort of shredded a mushed all at the same time
 
People with or without diabetes can choose whatever they want to eat.

Below ground veg aren't allowed on Dr Andreas Eenfeldt's LCHF diet and several others.

Sweet potatoes aren't allowed on Dr Mark Hyman's Blood Sugar Detox or Dr Charles Clark's Diet Revolution. IIRC they are used by George Stella, Atkins Diet and Dana Carpender.
 
Errr ok but that wasn't @trinity0097 question to be fair, if it had have been I wouldn't have answered as I have limited knowledge of all those people
 
Depends on how far a person low carbs...as to whether 1/2 a sweet potato is allowed...and then between 2 people the carbs are pitiful!!

I've been lower carber all my life and can still eat a spiralised sweet potato portion. Eating somewhere between 18-50/60g a day..
 
So far I have only spiralised courgettes as I am still waiting to find a celeriac. I did some carrots for the kids which looked like old curly telephone wires

@trinity0097 have you checked out this site which lists recipes by the vegetable? http://inspiralized.com/recipes/
 
I don't have a spiralizer, as my food processor does an efficient job for me, but in a routine email from Lakeland this morning, this one came up, at 50% off: http://www.lakeland.co.uk/71038/Curl-&-Collect-Spiralizer

Lakeland products are usually very good, and their customer services, even if you plain old decide you don't like the product, are very good.
