Weight Loss Forum / Low Carb / January 2004Please repost Recipe for Ginger Cheesecake
Would you please repost the recipe for the Ginger Cheesecake. I must have missed that one. I am on the induction Atkins diet. I am having trouble with late night eating. At 8Pm I had jello w/ heavy cream.... 2 cups 11PM atkins cereal w/ carbo lite milk 1 AM an atkins bar.... THEN I slept good... Any advice... Warren > I am on the induction Atkins diet.

Although it sounds harsh, only you can control your eating. What does your average daily menu look like? You're not going to get over your carb addiction if you keep eating all of those carbs. Stop eating the crap and tough it out for 2 weeks. After that first week, you'll stop having the cravings. -Dough >> I am on the induction Atkins diet. I am having trouble with late night >> eating.

And it also works great,. I was as bad a night time eater as it gets. Waking up at night to eat. Then I decided, no more of that stuff, and now I never eat after 6pm (convenient time for me since I get home around 5). Works greatm after a week of struggling, not eating at night is easy. > What does your average daily menu look like?

Mine is kinda late, but my schedule depends on it. I don't eat after 10pm. I get home from my 'real' job at 6-6:30pm, then usually have my peronal work to do, so I'm either in my office working or meeting with people. I try to eat dinner as early as possible, but there are many times that I don't get really 'in' until 9pm. > > What does your average daily menu look like?

Stop eating the [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > I suggest not eating any atkins labeled products, and no junk food in > general. I tend to agree. IMO all of that stuff is cheating. I understand that people want to try and maintain their 'normal' way of living, but I disagree. That 'normal' way of living is what got me fat. I'm trying to NOT be fat, so I know I'd have to make some serious changes. Eating those faux candy/cookies/bars/cereal is a copout to me. > Mine is kinda late, but my schedule depends on it.

Well, what's important is to have a regular time-out from food, then night cravings go away as the body gets used to those timeouts. >> I suggest not eating any atkins labeled products, and no junk food in >> general.

And to me, it is not even a "normal" way of eating. i thanks for all the good advice. what I got out of it is to nix the atkins stuff. that seems to be adding to it and try to do without anything. The only problem is that I am hypoglycemic and I live on eating every 4 hours. Any additional advice.

But eat the foods on your diet, not other stuff. I keep hard-boiled eggs, pepperoni and deli-sliced ham around for munching as necessary. Induction is for changing your biochemistry, not for weight loss. OWL is for weight loss, that's what the WL stands for. The important bit is to stick to the appropriate foods those first couple weeks. Volume doesn't matter... eat all day if you want, but eat induction foods. >> thanks for all the good advice. what I got out of it is to nix the >> atkins stuff. that seems to be adding to it and try to do without >> anything.

So I would eat small meals every 4 hours. Only acceptable induction foods. I don't have that problem anymore. I can go 5-6 hours between meals. Yvonne > > I am on the induction Atkins diet.

Well, here is some advice that might also work, buy a very large ham with your groceries every week. When you are hungry slice off a couple nice pieces of it and eat that. Otherwise, I had a lot of success with the low-carb pudding that is made with cream cheese, heavy cream and sugar free instant pudding. It satisfies the craving for sweets but isn't really sweet enough to put me on a carb binge. chrissy > What does your average daily menu look like?

Note: Some folks get stalls when eating the made-for-low-carb bars and other products. >I am on the induction Atkins diet. I am having trouble with late night >eating. [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] >Any advice... >Warren Bleah..sounds like me last summer when I "did Atkins" for a few weeks (in which time I gained five or six pounds). I was a night eater for years until late November; now I'm a newbie "normal eater" and there's no magic cure. If you want to lose weight..and not feel like crap about your eating habits to boot..you just have to decide you will not die by going back to the bed you may not be sleeping so well in without putting something in your mouth. Give it a week and you will most likely feel much better, weight loss aside. For me what helped was forcing myself to consume a small amount of something on the induction list (which I don't think cereal is btw, Atkins brand or not) in the morning, and again during the day, using that every six waking hour guideline. ( I had previously gone all day without eating and then generally eaten a lot after work with two or three..sometimes more "after bed" trips back to the kitchen) The first week or two induction I really still ate a pretty large dinner..at least compared to what I find I'm satisfied with now..but I kept it to induction foods and I absolutely didn't allow myself to eat after that. I still woke up..and I have to say I still do. I kept some zucchini and lunch meat in the frig in case I "had" to eat, because I really didn't think I could stop. I got rid of the crap I used to eat mindlessly and I didn't buy Atkins bars and peanut butter cups that I would only end up eating for snacks as I did the "first time I was on Atkins" when I gained five pounds in two weeks. (I have nothing against bars or shakes in the right circumstances, frankly if that's the best I can do for lunch and it keeps things on track I have a shake) I drank water till it came out my ears and have learned to keep bottles of it in the frig so when I find myself opening that door at two am they are there. And I'll tell ya I feel one hundred percent better about myself being able to get up in the morning and not have to feel like hiding from FitDay..yeah that's the other thing.. if you are serious, and ready to change, using something like FitDay can really help..when you have to see that in one night you ate ten times your weight in calories, it's a real kick in the a.s. Good Luck and watch out for yourself with the cereals and the bars and even to an extent the amount of heavy cream in the beginning..they have carbs, and they have calories, and you may find that like myself you would do better to limit/avoid them for at least a few weeks.

At 0.4 per tablespoon that much put you well over your 20. > 11PM atkins cereal w/ carbo lite milk > 1 AM an atkins bar.... Unfortunately neither is Induction food. Back to day one for best results. In a later post you mention you're hypoglycemic. That makes starting much harder but it also makes the benefits much larger. Think of it as crossing one of those scarey rope bridges in an adventure movie. And try high fat foods that are natural. >> I am on the induction Atkins diet ... >> At 8Pm I had jello w/ heavy cream.... 2 cups > >Far too much dairy. At 0.4 per tablespoon that much put you >well over your 20. Was that 2 cups of cream or 2 cups of jello with cream? 2 cups of jello w/ 2 tablespoons of heavy cream.... what do you think? Warren > > [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > >Was that 2 cups of cream or 2 cups of jello with cream? > 2 cups of jello w/ 2 tablespoons of heavy cream.... what do you think? With a cup of heavy cream at 6, a tablespoon is 0.4. Two are 0.8. Sugar free Jello is near true zero carbs but it has aspartame, regular Jello has far more sugar than most low carb plans allow. > I am on the induction Atkins diet.

(unless you are diabetic etc) i Atkins cereal is not acceptable on induction. Atkins bars are not acceptable on induction. 2 cups of cream are not acceptable on induction. Read the book, people. If you cheat, you're just cheating yourself. > I am on the induction Atkins diet. I am having trouble with late night > eating. [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > Any advice... > Warren Try a handful of almonds, chew 'em up one at a time and then go to bed early. Have you been reading about the Di Vinci syrups in this newsgroup? The no calorie vanilla and ice cubes and a blender makes a nice icy snack - eat with a spoon, kind of nice stuff and then go to bed early. I know if I have almonds I usually need to brush my teeth and then after brushing my teeth I *hate* to think about eating again. And the later I stay up, the snackier I feel.

[quoted text clipped - 13 lines] : > Any advice... : > Warren > Would you please repost the recipe for the Ginger Cheesecake. > I must have missed that one. Sure, here it is: Jean B's Ginger Mini-Cheesecakes (6) Based on a recipe in Craig Claiborne's Herb and Spice Cookbook. Comments: 1. I made this recipe mainly using erythritol. That gave the cheesecake a bit of a grainy texture. After I got over the shock, it was fine, but you may not like it. Hence, you may wish to use all Splenda. 2. I am not sure the crust added anything to the recipe, although it does probably make it a bit easier to eat/remove from the foil cup. It made it hard to put all of the topping on. Even though I have now reduced the topping by half, you will still probably have extra. 3. I used real candied ginger, since my experiment with erythritol failed. (I think one could make candied ginger with maltitol, but I have "a problem" with that, so I haven't tried it.) Anyway, the bin at Whole Foods claimed that four pieces contain 14.63 grams of carbohydrate. I used slightly over one piece for all six, and I could very well have used just one. It is not clear to me how important it is that you use this; I think it may be very important though. This is very nice if you like ginger. Crust: 1/3 c Bob's Red Mill Almond Flour (this is pretty coarse) 1 Tbsp erythritol 1/2 tsp Splenda (you could just use 1 Tbsp Splenda, omitting the e'tol, which was fine here) 1 Tbsp butter, melted Filling: 8 ounces cream cheese, softened 5 Tbsps erythritol 1 Tbsp Splenda (see comments above; I may try 1/3 c Splenda next, omitting the e'tol) 2 tsps freshly grated ginger (I packed it pretty well) 1 egg Topping: 1/4 cup sour cream 1 1/2 tsps erythritol 1/2 tsp Splenda (I'm sure you could just use 1 1/2 tsps Splenda, omitting the e'tol) very finely minced candied ginger (see comments above) Preheat oven to 325F. Line 6 muffin cups with foil liners. Combine filling ingredients and divide evenly among muffin cups. Press down firmly with fingertips. Mix cream cheese and sweetener thoroughly with electric mixer. Mix in ginger and then egg. Scrape down sides of bowl as necessary throughout the process. Divide evenly between muffin cups and smooth tops a bit. Bake for ca 25 minutes. (Mine were pretty firm; you might be able to bake for a little less time.) Meanwhile, combine the sour cream and sweetener. Remove cheesecakes from oven and divide topping among them. You may not be able to use all of it without risk of overflowing the liners. Dot with minced candied ginger. Return to oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes. Remove from oven. Cool. Then wrap and chill. (I left them in the pan and covered the top. When they are thoroughly cold, they are firm enough so they can easily be removed from the pan.) Jean B. via asdl-c.  SignatureJean B. Sorry to be a pain, but do you have a carb count for this as it sounds great. Thanks WM > > Would you please repost the recipe for the Ginger Cheesecake. > > I must have missed that one.

If I have a chunk of spare time, I'll try calculating that. Maybe someone has a program that can do it quickly though.... SignatureJean B. |
