Thanks, I think I’ll try this, I’ll use turkey burger, as beef doesn’t like me much.

@KarthikSoun Remember there are 6 servings, so you need to divide the estimated amounts of carbs by 6.

@KarthikSoun As 1:10 says in the annotation, this is Induction friendly. The nutritional info from the video notes says:
“Makes 6 servings:

For the most part, I cook most meals, and she cleans the kitchen. Her standards are a bit higher than mine, so rather than have strife over “you missed a spot” she does it any ways. I think she says it is even trade, but if I am just cooking for myself and the kids, then I clean the dishes.
July 10th, 2010 at 6:58 pm
Great recipe! Mine is cooking right now. I have a question. I’m always wondering with every video I watch…..who does the dishes and cleans the kitchen when you get done. You or your wife? lol
July 10th, 2010 at 7:52 pm
I hope it turned out as awesome tasting as mine did.
July 10th, 2010 at 8:33 pm
I am glad you liked it. It’s so simply, and like I told Jennifer (the author of the books), I think my liking eggplant dish is almost as unlikely as my losing weight in the first place.
July 10th, 2010 at 8:35 pm
This is AWESOME! I made it over the weekend. Thanks!
July 10th, 2010 at 9:25 pm
I am making this right now! 1 minute until its ready to come out of the oven! I used two eggplants to make a larger batch for the whole house to enjoy! Its really looking great! I never gave eggplant a chance, I’ve changed my mind after trying the parmasean eggplant. If really thinlly sliced this would make a great chips substitue! Gota go! Its ready! Thanks!

Actually fat energy should last longer than the temporary blood glucose hit from apples or carbohydrates.
My best suggestion would be to read the book (Dr Atkins New Diet Revolution – 2002 version) as it explains the why much better than I could. The science behind it is pretty conclusive.
July 10th, 2010 at 10:23 pm
It really is delicious. I am sure you’ll love it.
July 10th, 2010 at 10:42 pm
oh ok, I’m not sure I follow how fat can make you lose weight. Give energy yes but still fat energy is suposed to be temporarily lasting unlike from fructose of an apple or something. ….. Now I’m just confused.
