Kicking the Carb Addiction
Wednesday, August 16th, 2006I felt that the only way to wean myself off of the “bad carbs” was to use substitutes. I love creamcheese icing on cake. So I made an almond flour pound cake with cream cheese icing. It was decent enough to satisfy my sweet tooth. It had a lot of fat, but it was good fat. I used splenda to replace the sugar, but added a bit of real sugar and added a bit of white flour so it would rise a bit. It seemed to work. It tasted a bit grainy. I guess that is what happens when you use almond instead of white flour for more than 90% of the the flour! No, I am not giving out the recipe yet, for I think it could be better.
I also started taking more chromium 400mcg from 230 mcg. I know it is drastic, but it seems to work.
Working our also gives me positive results when trying to kick the carb addiction. For some reason exercise makes me feel less hungry for the rest of the day. I can never convince myself of this before I go work out though. Go figure!
