Got a quick question on usable carbs. My wife found some information, while trying to expand her food options, since she is trying Plan A also.
She found some information which brings the whole usable carbs/fiber ratio into question, granted most of the examples are dealing with vegetables, but some fruits are listed along with High Fiber cereals (ie All Bran with Extra Fiber and Fiber One)
Some fruits that were lister were:
Blackberries - 1 cup, raw, 6 grams usable carbs, 8 grams fiber
Red Raspberries - 1 cup, raw, 7 grams usable carbs, 8 grams fiber
Strawberries - 1/2 cup, raw, 5 grams usable carbs, 2 grams fiber
Strawberries might be pushing it, but the raspberries, blackberries, and high fiber cereal seem at a glance to be OK with Plan A, in at least moderation.
Anyone have any input???
Also, does anyone know about using ground flaxseed and almond meal instead of flour for baked goods such as muffins and pancakes. This seems to be done the same line as the nexgen muffins, that are advertised in the book (Check the website out last night, every type of muffin they have list is sold out
) . Replacing the flour with high fiber alternatives.
She found some recipes she wants to try out, but not if it is going to sabotage the diet.
Thanks
