As a devotee of the MIM, I would have a tough time eliminating my morning muffin. However, if Dr. Westman's diet advises TOTAL CARB count, then the MIM would be out. Here's a paragraph from a flaxseed website:
Quote:
|
Two cups contain about 62 grams of protein and 97 grams of carbs. Because fiber is a nondigestible form of carbohydrate, it is not counted in the carb content. This means 2 cups of flaxseed meal has only 5 grams of carbs. These are often referred to as usable or net carbs.

My MIM recipe includes 1/4 cup ground flaxseed, a substantial slug of fiber. OK for "netters" but not for everyone. |
