Fat free cheeses -- grated, sliced, tubs, and bars from the dairy section. One thing that I sometimes go to the baking section for is nuts -- unsalted walnuts, almonds, pecans. It is difficult to get such good fiber, low fat, and low carbs from anything baked, even if we do it ourselves, and then it ends up being awfully refined, too, unless you add a lot of the above nuts and fruits, along with whole grains such as rolled oats. However, Splenda can be used for baking, as can Equal. They come in the big bags specifically for baking. Portion size is very important, and so 2 small cookies would be easier to divide-up than one large one, but of course, it can be done, and even a large one is not out of the question as long as it's within the diet and exercise plan, and good numbers are being had.

I do a bit of baking with sugar and flour substitutes, you have to keep in mind that many of the recipes are lower in carbohydrates, because they substitute for the sugar and flour, but they are not low calorie. Diabetics have to be careful of portion size as well as balancing the types of food they eat. If you are looking for a specific recipe, ask on the Diabetic Recipe Swap board and you will get some suggestions.

Almond Flour is basically Finely Ground almonds. Harry Report Bad Post | IP | Print-Friendly | Edit Post | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top | Tree
