Great tasting pancakes without sending your insulin through the roof!

1 cup almond flour
2 eggs
1/4 cup water
2 T oil
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 T sweetener

Preparation:
Mix ingredients together and cook as you would other pancakes. I use a non stick pan with some canola oil. The only real difference is that they won’t “bubble” on top the same way as regular pancakes. Flip them when the underside is brown.

makes Six 4-inch pancakes

Nutritional Information: Each pancake has 2 net carbs plus 2 grams of fiber, 6 grams of protein, and 155 calories.

Here is one of my favourite healthy treat recipes High protein ice cream!

Ill mix the following in the blender:

1 cup of egg whites
10-20 frozen strawberries depending on the size (you can also add in other frozen fruit of your choice)
2-3 scoops of vanilla whey protein
2 tablespoonfuls of Splenda

Blend it up until it has a consistency like frozen yoghurt. Youll most likely have to stop and stir up the frozen fruit a couple times to get it to mix well because it is so thick.

Give it a try and then post a comment to let me know how you like it.

This is the second in Atkins Diet misconceptions or myths series, and in this video I deal with the thought this is a high protein diet. Just check out google for “Atkins Diet” and “high protein,” and you’ll see how prevalent this misconception is.

USDA Food Pyramid Standard for Protein:
10-35% of Total Calories

http://health.msn.com/weight-loss/articlepage.aspx?cp-documentid=100186268

http://www.health.gov/DietaryGuidelines/dga2005/document/html/chapter5.htm

With 35% being the standard for high protein, what does Dr. Atkins recommend?
“The macro-nutrient breakout in the Induction phase is 60 percent fat, 30 percent protein and 10 percent carbohydrate. It should be more appropriately be called a high fat regimen. As you progress through the phases, your percentage of fat naturally diminishes as your percentage of carbohydrates increases.” Even in DANDR, he cautions against going high protein on page 43,
“No, because when you cut out fat, what is left is protein and carbohydrate, both of which can produce a blood-sugar response. Fat is the only substance that won’t have an impact on your blood sugar. It also provides essential fatty acids you can’t get from protein or carbohydrates. Contrary to much of what you may have heard, fat can be good for you! (43)”

Dangers of low fat, low carb, high protein diet:

* http://www.medbio.info/Horn/PDF%20files/rabbit%20starvation.pdf

Rabbit starvation is the form of acute malnutrition caused by excess consumption of any lean meat (e.g. rabbit) coupled with a lack of other sources of nutrients usually in combination with other stressors, such as severe cold or dry environment. Symptoms include diarrhea, headache, lassitude, a vague discomfort and hunger that can only be satisfied by consumption of fat or carbohydrates.

How much protein is advisable:
*** .8 – 1.2g per kg of body weight – normal adults, or roughly 72g to 109g per day for 200 pound adult
*** Up to 1.6g per kg – for extremely active or weight lifting adults, or 145g for 200 pound adult (29%)
