4/22/2018 0 Comments Still here.I did weigh in on Tuesdays the last two weeks. The week of 4/10 I was up 7/10ths of a pound due to hormonal fluctuations (and a couple of days eating someone else's cooking). By 4/17, I was down a pound, so the scale is moving in the right direction again. I'm curious to see where it lands Tuesday.
This week, I started experimenting a little with erythritol, an artificial sweetener used in a lot of low-carb baking. I did a lot of reading on it before buying any, as I am fairly suspicious of low-no-glycemic index sweeteners. It turns out that erythritol is used in Bai drinks, which I have never had issues with, and it has been around a long time. It is excreted in your urine, and unless you're consuming huge amounts, it is well tolerated. We use liquid stevia around here, and apparently if you mix erythritol and stevia in baked goods, they cancel each other's potential aftertastes out. So, we've started playing with it and have made a couple of desserts this week. We didn't do any bread this week in swap, I guess. I do have rolls in the oven right now, though, as I had some egg whites I needed to use and the way I look at this recipe is that it's actually a great fiber supplement. Some friends asked last night (over dinner) if we'd found eating this way hard; part of our answer is that we have a five boxes of unopened Girl Scout cookies in the house. There's also some fund-raiser pretzels and cookie dough in the freezer. And, we've not found any reason or need to open the cupboard where we stashed all of the high carb stuff we stashed when we started. So, looks like cauliflower rice, zoodles, and gluten-free baking are going to stick around here for awhile.
