Atkins Recipes: Mock Danish

I performed my first low carb cooking demonstration and showed the world the wonders of the mock danish. Mock danishes were one of the new comfort foods that I learned how to cook and was used to kill cravings that threatened the diet early on. Some qualifications for Kent’s comfort foods were it had to be both easy and quick to make, and it could not have a lot of ingredients to prep. Most of the recipes, I will be demonstrating have my seal of approval for taste and ease in preparation.

Here is the Mock Danish recipe:
2 oz Cream Cheese, softened
1 egg
1.5 - 2 tsp Splenda (**count against artificial sweetener count for the day)
1/2 tsp Vanilla
1 TBS Ground Flax meal (optional)

Topping
1 TBS Butter
.5 tsp Splenda
Dash Cinnamon

Atkins Diet: Low Carb Breakfast - not necessarily like Mom made

I deal with the question by a viewer who like I was sick of eggs and bacon, and was looking for alternative breakfast items.

My criteria for a good low carb breakfast is:
* has to be quick to make
* has to be easy to make
* has to provide enough nutrition for morning activities and mid day exercise

I also suggest the valuable step of prepping for breakfast the night or the week before by chopping the vegetables or cooking the meat beforehand to expand your options. With that in mind, there are countless options for the 5-minute or less breakfast meals.

I highlight my favorite 5:
* Taco or Fajita Salad
* Low Carb Stir Fry
* Sausage Broccoli Quiche
* Upside Down Low Carb Pizza
* Pancakes and Syrup

Atkins Diet Quick Hits: Constipation and Diarrhea

In this the second of the “Quick Hit” series of videos, I deal with a question I receive often in the comments section or private message to me. “What do I do about gastronomic ailments, like Constipation or Diarrhea?” This might be a TMI (Too Much Information) episode.

For Constipation, I recommend:
1. Adding ground flax meal into your diet in things like salad or other items (like mock danishes)
2. Consider Psyllium husks in form of capsules or powder (1-2 TBS per day). Note: Remember to get the SF powder if you go that route.
3. Consider restrict dairy/cheese intake
4. Get your water in each day (more than 64 oz)
5. Exercise!

Diarrhea is often a temporary occurrence on the diet due to the wastes being removed. If it occurs longer term:
* some have recommended increasing your cheese and dairy consumption
* Increase fiber intake
