"Protected Carbs."
A protein matrix is added to the flour
that keeps the carbs from being digested.
.....................
All I know is that it is pretty good.
Really good, in fact.
I get mine at Netrition. (that's also a link!)
But now they even have it in the grocery stores.
I only have pasta a few times a year.
So either way, it's still a treat.
When I have company, or bring dinner to a function,
I sometimes chose a LoCarb pasta, or something unusual.
People don't know these options exist!
It's LoCarb version of BisQuick.
It's a great LoCarb substitution.
Made with carbalose. (recipe link)
But I don't use it enough to complain.
Just enjoy!
LoCarb pancakes with SF syrup.
And real butter. Go figure.
About the chemical soup/ slurry....
I use this example:
As a Nurse, I know that there is no drug like Morphine.
No synthetic version can do what Morphine does.
Hands down.
..........................................
So yeah, I "get it" about fake sugar and fake flour.
So I basically avoid both, as much as possible.
I indulge infrequently. So it's a non-starter.
But as bad as these substitues might be,
There was nothing fake about the effect that
REAL sugar and REAL flour had on my body!
REAL choices, right?
Crying "Oui, oui, oui!" all the way home."
Me - last year, and this year.
...............................................
Once, when I was a new grad, there was a family whose young son
had just been diagnosed with Diabetes. The family brought in
all kinds of sugar-free candy and soft-drinks. The Nurse said No -
That stuff is allright - but it's really about making better choices....
not just better substitutions! True story.
It was 75 - which is a little on the low side.
[Note: I am NOT Diabetic. Just LoCarb.]
I tend to be on the low side, anyways.
It didn't cause cravings later, either.
Not any digestion problems for me, either.
So for me, O LoCarbers and friends,
None of this stuff (so far) affects my Blood Sugar.
Not Splenda. Not Carbalose. Not Mythology.
Neither rain, nor snow, nor sleet, nor hail.
Well, you know what I mean!
A very gentle sunset last night.
Can you see the little birds?
There might have been a million birds in the sky.
Give or take a few hundred thou.
