Hi there,
I am back with some more questions..... I am in my 6th week of induction now.... but my weight loss has been slow.... but at least i am losing weight so i am not weeping.
my question is that i saw low carb cheesecake recipe posted by WHERESMYCOAT and was wondering if that is allowed during induction and how much of it... plus how much MAYO is allowed during induction phase as well
I eat my beef patty with mayonnaise and vegetables everyday and would like to confirm that... its ok to do that.... thank you for all your supportive emails and words of encouragement....
Karenjs and wheresmycoat... thank you again for always posting a prompt reply...

I think I responded to the mayo question in the other thread... Here: http: / / lowcarbsite. com / forum / viewtopic. php? p=118899&highlight=#118899
The cheesecake is OK for Induction, just count the carbs. If you calculate the carbs for the entire cake, you will know whether you can eat half of it or maybe just 1 / 8... Just joking, it looks really low in carbs.

the cheesecake is definitely low carb and induction friendly. I ate 1 / 4 of it and stayed in ketosis! I did the lowest carb tragedy, and left out the nut crust, whipped cream on top and the berry coulis. My mother, on the other hand, went for the works - - but spring chicken is not on atkins! Yes, its THAT good! [ / icon_cool. gif]

The cheesecake is here: http: / / lowcarbsite. com / forum / viewtopic. php? t=13685, about halfway down. But I also asked Wheresmycoat to report it in the Recipes section, to make sure it doesn ' t get lost!

Here is a FOOLPROOF and DELICIOUS very low carb cheesecake.
Here you go:
Ingredients:
8 oz ( 250 gr ) cream cheese ( MUST BE ROOM TEMP )
1 / 2 C Double / Heavy Cream
3 / 4 C Splenda
5 eggs ( MUST BE ROOM TEMP )
1 1 / 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
Preheat oven to 350F / 180C
Blend ( I use one of those one - hand mixers that I bought for a fiver ) all the ingredients together so that there are no lumps. Should take about 20 - 30 secs. Pour into a greased baking dish. Bake in oven for about 45 mins but check it earlier because ovens vary. stick a knife in it and if it comes out dry its done. When you take it out it will look like a massive souffle ( very pufffy ). Let it settle down and cool on counter. After cooled, I stick it in the fridge overnight for maximum density and richness. ( note: if you eat it warm from the oven it tastes like a vanilla souffle; however, after being chilled in fridge overnight, it takes like a creamy delicious cheesecake. YUM )
carbs are about 20 - ish for the whole cake. you could have fun with it by doing a nut crust, adding a berry coulis on top ( whizz frozen berries with some splenda and a dash of water ) and whipped cream or putting cocoa powder or lemon juice in the mix. but you must add these extra carbs.
Enjoy!
