Guest guest Posted September 6, 2001 Report Share Posted September 6, 2001 I love the SF syrups for convenience and flavor, but if they are hard to find or expensive to ship, you can try concentrated flavors instead, plus artificial sweeteners of your choice. Lots of really concentrated flavors are available, so you only need to buy and ship little bottles. > B. 1 Soft boiled egg, cream, flax seed, stevia, vanilla, cinammon > > L. 2.5 skewers of chicken, 8 olives, 4 *tiny* pickled aubergines > (yummy!) > > S.

Guest guest Posted September 6, 2001 Report Share Posted September 6, 2001 Try this site for an idea of what's available. http://www.naturesflavors.com These folks also sell SF syrups, sauces and other godies, but their flavor slections (I've tried both concentrates and flavor oils) is pretty amazing. Specialty cooking/baking stores in the US sometimes carry these sorts of things, but I always end up ordering on-line. > Thanks for the idea .

Guest guest Posted September 6, 2001 Report Share Posted September 6, 2001 Thanks for the idea . The only flavours I have found in Israel are vanilla extract, almond, rum and lemon. I don't like rum and lemon. When I get my brother to bring me stuff from the US, I'll definitely look into concentrated flavours - there's a limit to how many large bottles of SF syrup I can ask him to bring me, after all <g>.

Guest guest Posted September 7, 2001 Report Share Posted September 7, 2001 B. 2 eggs scrambled with slice of bulgarian cheese (salty white cheese, 0.5 carbs per 100 gr=3.5 oz, a slice probably has 30 gr), 2 slices of bacon S. 1/2 cup (actually a bit less) cream, 3 drops vanilla, a sprinkle of cinammon, stevia, about 1/2 cup or a bit less flax seeds L. 2 small pork chops, about a cup of green beans S. Flax seed muffin (the last one) (probably 5 carbs) D. Cheese and veggie calzone - 1 cup of grated cheese, mixture of broccoli, cauliflower, mushrooms and bulgarian cheese and egg + the same veggies in the leftover egg, scrambled. Total of about a cup of veggies and one egg, plus the cheese. I'm stuffed. Too lazy to put this into fitday - anyone want to guess how many carbs I've had today? Lots of water, some vitamins, no exercise. Vered Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
