Menu ideas and recipes for followers of the dukan diet for healthy living
This is my version of healthier (no saturated fat frying) onion rings.
I use Oat Bran as many of you know, for baking pancakes, cookies, etc. It has fiber and helps lower cholesteral, and keeps a feeling of fullness and satisfaction.
Just substitute your usual bread or flour oat bran with seasoning you like as dry batter with egg beaters and yogurt as the wet dipping batter, and bake at 400 for 20 or so, flipping halfway through. Delish.
Tofu noodles pick up the flavor of anything you mix with them. My personal opinion; Spaghetti cut Shirataki have the best texture, closest to the real deal. How low carb it ends up depends entirely on what you add. Here I use chive flavored cream cheese and tossed in leftover salmon.
I nuke the noodles for two minutes, then mix other ingredients and nuke again for a minute. You can find these noodles (also in angel hair) at HEB, Whole Foods, Sprouts, etc. They last in fridge forever.
Take care,
Margo
Many of you use to eat out a lot. Dinner at home can be simple, once you learn some tricks. To save on produce waste, do not buy huge bulk, if fresh veggies are new to you. Instead, get the single serving..fresh made salads, that even come with toppings and dressing.
This is that salad, spinach, with nuts and I tossed on shredded chicken. Note, even the chicken was purchased already cooked, boned and shredded (HEB) and you toss cold or heat it up, onto the salad. Voila. Easy and healthy.
Fat is an important nutrient in any weight maintenance program, and in life. Here is a no bake way to enjoy dessert and fat at the same time! Measure to your liking; its not necessary to be exact and there are so many options you can think of.
I used powdered peanut butter; cocoa flavor (PB2) Mixed into regular cream cheese, a touch of Swerve or Stevia, and rolled in crushed macadamia nuts!
