Guest guest Posted January 17, 2001 Report Share Posted January 17, 2001 << I read somewhere that raw carrots were fairly low carb if you deduct the fiber but cooked carrots are higher in carbs because the fiber breaks down. Is this true for cauliflower also?>> Any cellulose fiber is broken down somewhat by heat, which therefore makes the carbs more accessible to our bodies. The cellulose of cauliflower is found more in the stem and " branches, " if you will, than in the florets. I have read it's better for you raw because when cooked something about it is less healthy (something to do with being carcinogenic), but I don't know if this is true.

Guest guest Posted January 17, 2001 Report Share Posted January 17, 2001 My life is full of temptation. I have 14 kids in my house during the day and of course they are not on atkins. My helpers know if they are going to make a treat they have to give me time to fill up on something else first. One of my helpers is even starting atkins. It usually does not bother me but I do forbid my very favorites (henceforth to be unnamed<L>). Last night I dreamed my father had made a huge table full of home-made *******. They looked so good I ate one, woke realized I was dreaming and went back and ate a bunch. No kidding I knew I was dreaming and stuffed my face...is this cheating? I was down 1/2 pound this morning. > > I am a carb addict, but I can beat this. > > Jean > 190/143/135 > 12/7/98 > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
