Something I didn’t catch with the first look at recipes, some use an "Atkins flour". Not to buy like the old CarbQuik, but the included recipe is Soy Flour, vital wheat gluten, wheat bran, flaxseed meal and whey protein powder! Obviously that's out with a Soy or wheat sensitivity. Some recipes use it as a thickener, but that could be replaced with zantham gum or similar.
There is a good post from Amy Berger on Atkins just today:
New to Low Carb? Feeling Lost? "Paralysis by Analysis?" READ THIS.
(Aka Start with Atkins)
Excerpts:
Quote:
The original “Atkins book,” Dr. Atkins’ Diet Revolution, was published in 1972. Over four decades ago, and I dare say few people have improved on it in the forty-plus years since. Every low carb or keto book that’s come out since then—every single one—has been little more than a slight variation on what the good doctor put on paper all those years ago.
In 1972, and then throughout the 1980s and 1990s, when updated versions of the Atkins book came out, there were no blood or breath ketone meters. MCT oil wasn’t available to the general public. There were no fat bombs, nobody was dumping 4 tablespoons of butter in their coffee, nobody was afraid to eat protein, and nobody who was using low carb for weight loss thought they had to follow the same kind of medically therapeutic diet as a child with epilepsy, with 80% of their calories coming from fat. And you know what?
People did wonderfully.
People got great results.
******
if you’re confused or overwhelmed by low carb or keto, take a breath, stay calm, and just start. You don’t need to know anything about ketone meters, MCT oil, fat bombs, gluconeogenesis, making “keto” cookies, cake, or muffins from almond and coconut flour, or anything else, in order to take what is by far the most important and most effective step: eliminating sugar and starch from your diet.
[Why Dr Westman named the Diet used for his clinical trials that, No Sugar, No Starch]
