I did low carb once and it worked, but I missed my popcorn, pasta, and potatoes.


Jalapenos looked awesome, Myles!

Same here as Andy. And pizza. That's my achilles heel. Finally broke down and had some last night for dinner. Tried something different for the crust to bring the overall carb count down. Equal parts (30g) of flaxseed meal, whole wheat flour and caputo 00 flour. Mixed with some salt, 1 egg and enough water to make into pancake batter consistency. Poured into 9" cake pan and par baked for 10mins @ 450F. Took out of the oven, flipped over the crust in the pan to let the other side crisp up, put on 1.5tbsp crushed tomatos, 2oz cheese and 1.5oz pepperoni. Put back in the oven for another 5-7 mins.

Overall, not a bad 1st effort. By my calculations, the overall carb count was 57 with 13g fiber, so a net of 44. The calorie count was high as well as the fat, but part of that's due to the flaxseed. But it has a lot of the good fats and fiber in it, so I"ll stick with that.

Found soy flour at the grocery store today. Next time I'm going to use that and cut back on the regular flour, plus use less water so the crust will crisp up more.
