Hi, [ / icon_smile. gif]
I ' m new here and I ' m really sorry for asking this question but is it OK to have that Smash potato, you know the kind I mean? Freeze dried stuff. Not sob on it myself but my boyfriend wants to know, also I saw gravy mentioned as being one to watch because of hidden carbs.
Will he be allowed these things as long as he doesn ' t go over his daily allowance of carbs?
We ' re doing this stable but I think he ' s going to find it really difficult to do and I want to support him as much as possible. [ / icon_smile. gif]
Many thanks for any help...
Kind regards, Greysquirrel. [ / icon_biggrin. gif]

Hello and welcome to the forum,
You are not allowed any potatoes. Please check the kinds of food allowed on Induction. Potatoes are allowed in OWL ( starchy vegetables ).
Good luck in your expedition and keep us posted.

Thank you so much for your reply mneemnee, I didn ' t think you could have it but I just had to ask. Not sure my boyfriend would have believed me otherwise... LOL.. It looks like I ' m going to have to do all the reading.
Many thanks again mneemnee

Not at all.
Just keep on track and one day you will be able to have it. I ' m in OWL and I have potato chips every now and then.
If you need any help we are all here for you.

Welcome.
About gravy: gravy is usually made with flour which is a HUGE no no.
A good rule to remember is avoid white: sugar, potatoes, bread, flour.

Mashed Cauliflower ( strange as it sounds ) is an EXCELLENT alternative. With the right ratio of butter & cream you ' ll hardly tell the difference.

I join e - dubble in recommending mashed cauliflower. It truly does taste like mashed potatoes. Gravy is a no - no but you can top them with bacon bits and cheese and then brown them in the oven like twice baked potatoes. Delicious!
