[Ebon]

Thanks for starting this thread I'm a big fan of high protein/low carb eating.

I made this once when I was doing the Atkins thing and it was delicious!! I found this recipe online it might be different from the actual atkins one. The Peanut Butter Coconut Sauce turns out delicious.

# 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
# 1 cup coconut milk
# 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
# 2 tablespoons soy sauce
# 1 1/2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
# 1 teaspoon ground ginger
# 2 garlic cloves, chopped
# 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
# 2 lbs chicken cutlets
# 30 wooden skewers, soaked for 30 mins



1. 1 mix first 8 ingredients, remove 3/4 and refrigerate.
2. 2 cut chicken into strips and marinate in remaining sauce for 1 hour.
3. 3 heat broiler, thread strips onto skewers and broil about 6 minutes.
4. 4 bring refrigerated sauce to room temp and use as a dip for the chicken.

Cream Cheese Muffins

Bake at 350

2 8-oz. pks. cream cheese
1/2 cup sweetener (granular Splenda, OR 1/4 cup Splenda, 1/4 cup sugar-free Da Vinci syrup OR equivalent. I use raw sugar.)
2 eggs
1/2 tsp. Vanilla extract (or lemon, or almond, etc.)
Optional: Cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, or other low-carb topping, to taste.

Soften cream cheese about 40 seconds in microwave. (Be sure there are no cold lumps.) Add other basic ingredients. Beat with mixer or whisk till smooth. (Do not overbeat.) Pour into non-stick muffin pan, and/or use non-stick spray. (If using cupcake/muffin papers, spray papers with non-stick spray.) Sprinkle with cinnamon or choice of topping, if desired.

Bake at 350 for 18-20 min. if using standard muffin tin. (Reduce to 10 - 12 minutes if using mini-muffin tin.) Will not brown. Should be mostly set up, but somewhat soft in middle

To reduce sinking centers, bake only 18 minutes. Cool in oven with oven door open for 1/2 - 1 hour, then cover and cool on counter for 1/2 - 1 hour, then refrigerate. (Can use water bath; place shallow pan of water on lower shelf while preheating oven.)

Taste best chilled. Keeps well in refrigerator. Can be frozen. These are truly tasty muffins!

Hey Jesse - great recipe! I've made one very similar with 1/2 tsp. of liquid stevia plus 1/4 cup of water. I try to avoid all artificial sweeteners because of their impact on the brain/blood barrier and the intestinal micro-villi issues. Sometimes you have to tweak things to use stevia, but I find that the flavor is still great! I also use ZSweet granules on occasion for baking, because they will brown.

Hey Kitten,

As for sweeteners, I only use raw agave. The only tweaking involved with it is to use much less of it than what the recipe that uses sugar calls for.

What meats are your sources for protein?(I already eat a lot of chicken, kinda get sick of it at times) Is ground turkey leaner than any of the ground meats you can purchase, ie ground sirloin, extra lean ground beef, etc. ? Are there any red meats that you choose over others? How do you cook them? Do you bake them or broil them, etc?
I just joined the thread and am seriously considering doing this type food intake so long as I can afford it. I have pretty much stopped eating bread all together. I have been working out on treadmill daily and doing well with that. So, your input on the above questions is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Just.

PS. I don't have the option of purchasing fresh seafood or fresh water fish in local grocery store. It's a teeny tiny town where I live. And that part sucks. I wish I were back in Austin where I could shop at the whole foods grocery store there or even HEB where I could get things a little easier like fresh fish and fresh seafood. ugh.

I try to consume mostly high to medium high purine proteins. these include:

Foods with very high purine levels(up to 1,000 mg per 3.5 ounce serving): Anchovies, Brains, Gravies, Kidneys,Liver, Sardines, Sweetbreads Foods with high and moderately high purine levels(5-100 mg per 3.5 ounce serving): Asparagus, Bacon, Beef, Bluefish, Bouillon, Calf tongue, Carp, Cauliflower, Chicken, Chicken soup, Codfish, Crab, Duck, Goose, Halibut, Ham, Kidney beans, Lamb, Lentils, Lima beans, Lobster, Mushrooms, Mutton, Navy beans, Oatmeal, Oysters, Peas, Perch, Pork, Rabbit, Salmon, Sheep, Shellfish, Snapper, Spinach, Tripe, Trout, Tuna, Turkey, Veal, Venison
Of course, I do not eat all of these because like most people, I tend to be a bit picky and am not really in to calf tongue personally, but hey, to each their own. I mainly posted this so you can see that it is not just meat that your proteins come from. If ever in doubt just Google the item, say you want to know the nutrition in turkey breast...just Google, turkey breast nutrition and it will pull up pages that will tell you the exact break down of the nutrition. Hope that helps.

And yes, turkey and chicken both tend to be leaner than most red meats. I tend to eat way more poultry than red meat. I will eat super lean ground beef, but it's not often, mostly because of all of the hormones and crap they put in it.
