I have a few questions
| Wed, 10-20-2004 - 8:03am |
Hi all! I am on week one of phase 2 and doing well. I don't think the scales have moved much, but my clothes are felling much better. As long as I see results some how, it makes it easier!
I have the following recipe and I was hoping you could tell me if it is SWB friendly.
Pecan Pancakes
2 C Almond Flour
2 t Baking Powder
1/2 t Salt
2 T Splenda
2 Eggs
2 C Cream (I would use ff 1/2 & 1/2 or ff evaporated milk)
1 t vanilla
1/2 C Pecans chopped
This is really good, but I don't want to eat it if I shouldn't. I have used quite a bit of almond flour in the past - is that still ok?
Also, my husband and I are going to eat out with friends Friday evening. The restraunt we are going to won't have a lot of friendly food. Wouldn't it be better to order a chef salad even if they don't us ff cheese? I would not eat any dressing.
Any input is greatly appreciated.

Hi Mary,
I checked with the SB official nutritionist and here's what she has to say about almond flour:
Almond flour would be allowed if it is only ground almonds and not mixed with other types of refined flour. This type of flour would be counted as a nut serving, so don't overdo it with this product. If you try it, monitor for cravings.
