Supposedly, it's refrigerated resistant starch that is less absorbed by the body, but I doubt it. A few years ago 2 women wrote a resistant starch diet book. Naturally, they laughed all the way to the bank.

Fortunately, that didn't happen to OP. She is still with us, thank heaven. I recommend prune juice, myself. And ground flaxseed is great.

On today's show, he was literally selling snake oil. Literally. :o

odd title. In my case, I will call them grouchy fat guy cookies. I am definitely going to make these. Thanks!!

I'm not paleo myself, but the Paleo/gluten free websites have tons of recipes for baked goods using almond, walnut, even coconut flours. I even saw one for a cauliflower pizza crust on youtube. :o

@tigger That's what I have always used. Unsalted and roasted. Raw is ok also. It's easy. Just store the almond flour in the fridge. Nut flours can go rancid quickly. And you do not have to skin the almonds.Grind only as much as you will use for a few recipes. And you do not have to skin the almonds unless you want a white…

@odesAngel I have never made an almond flour crust, but I have made almond flour cookies and some other products. I grind my own almonds into flour, and I did not blanch or roast them first. In fact, most almond crust recipes call for you to not pre-bake the crust, because it burns quickly.

If you do, don't waste money buying almond flour! It's expensive. You can make the exact thing with plain almonds and a food processor for half the price.

No, I have tried low carb pie made with an almond crust, and it was very good, even if it was sweetened with sucralose. But I have never made an almond crust myself, just trying to help OP.

Here is a good one using almond flour. there are hundreds out there, but this was one that had the nutritional info, and it is much lower in calories than a wheat flour pie crust. http://www.yummly.com/recipe/Almond-meal-pie-crust-331956?columns=3&position=2%2F64

Very interesting. And I would guess - still very fattening. But sounds gooooood. :# Thanks!

Just being a smart alec. Now Cold Ethyl, that is spinnable!!!

resurrected threads....gotta love em.

If you mean a flaky type crust, I don't think there is any such thing as a lowfat pie crust. Because the fat/flour ratio has to be pretty exact, or you have a mess on your hands. Consider an almond flour crust. Not necessarily lower in calories, but it is lower in carbs, and high in fiber.

Looks very good. Especially the garlic shrimp! (over some roasted zucchini). Thanks for posting. However, your thread would have been better in the Recipes forum.

someone hacked my ticker. I think I'm gonna cry.

Dead Babies. by Alice Cooper. great for spinning.

Awesome accomplishment so far! Welcome and wishing you great success. Hope you will post often.

^^naaah, you're just really excited about this topic, that's all.

Fox News.

Neither. I'm fat. Motivate me.

@callmecupcake ohhh. now I understand. Sorry, I am dense.

Just a kind and humble suggestion. This should really be in your blog. It's a wee bit long to be considered an introduction. Wishing you great success in your health goals. :)

^^Can say the alphabet backwards. I just had a bowl of talenti with marinara sauce. It was sooo good.

I better not. I already have 6 abuse flags...because people didn't agree with my tech support answers. Apparently that makes me a bully.

Is this the place to grumble about the incessant "motivate me" threads, or is that too bullyish? :#

I use MFP quite frequently. Except the Food Diary. It just has too many glitches. I log my food at "another" website, and copy/paste the url to my news feed here so that my friends can view it. But the forums here are good for suggestions and inspiration.

I'm using a revolutionary new food blocker. Duct tape over my mouth. So far, it's working. :#

I quit in January 2001. My only big lifetime achievement, I might add. If only weight loss success was #2. Keep at it !! :)
