Atkins Diet Recipes: Low Carb “chicken In A Biskit” Crackers (OWL)

One of the things people miss on a low carb diet is often snack foods and things to dip, like chips and crackers. I have tried many other cracker recipes, but this one is my favorite. It was developed out of a recipe posted on LowCarbFriends forums, called Pooti’s Crackers, but I adjusted the recipe to reflect my former favorite cracker, Nabisco’s Chicken in a Bisket. The thickness of the crackers will greatly affect how crisp or chewy the crackers is. If you want a more flatbread-like consistency, leave it a little thicker and cook for 20 minutes. If you want a crisp cracker, cook for roughly 25-30 minutes and roll it out thin. One of the things missing for most low carbers are a chip or cracker replacement to use with dips or salsa. This recipes fills that need. 3. In a separate bowl, beat one egg, and mix in the coconut oil. Combine with the dry ingredients. 4. Add 1 tbsp or enough water to allow dough ball to hold together.

These nutrients and vitamins come from real living food that we as a people have yet to take advantage of. To get back on track we need to stop starving our bodies, this is why we eat so much but never seemingly get enough. Sugar is not the issue but it is a problem in our diet. Thanks eye say, I've lost 20 pounds now. And I must say it has taken no will power at all for me to do this. Ever since I knocked out the sugar and most packaged foods it's been easy. I feel like I eat like a normal person again. This is so right on, I can relate and agree with everything you are saying. Let me point out if I may that alcohol is made mostly from sugar - something else that supports your theory of addiction. We have stopped all process foods in our house and haven't had refined sugar or flours for 16 months.

I love your writing and am impressed with your insights and am thrilled to have found such a like minded thinker. You certainly make a solid point with your sugar theory. My own theory is that this country is suffering from mass depression. Or perhaps the two are interconnected, with the sugar highs and lows influencing emotions. It seems huge numbers of people are very unhappy and seek some escape from their daily drudgery be it drugs, food, or violence. Regardless, you've found your own formula for success. And that's what counts. I totally agree with you that we're way too hooked on sugar! Sure Frog Prince, anytime. And yes starches break down into sugars but they do not have the same effect as refined sugar. When starches are eaten the brain is notified..not so with refined sugar. Grace: I've been off sugar completely for a little over 2 weeks and I can't tell you how good I feel.

I've lost weight effortlessly. Very nice hub, Brie. Four months ago, I quit eating sweets and desserts, because they were making me feel bad. I'm doing much better now. I also read food labels, and if the sugar content is too high, I pass it by. I know I do get a little sugar, but some of it is fructose. Also, I take about a teaspoon of agave nectar every day in my morning tea, and it doesn't seem to bother me. I have learned to like PLAIN yogurt. By the way, I believe I have always craved sweets -- my favorites being chocolate chip cookies, brownies, and peanut butter cookies. Even starches break down into sugars in your body. I think that this is the number one health risk, easily. Portioning in America's favorite places to eat are way out of control. I fast a lot and require less to fuel me through the day. Good hub, and muy importante!

Everything in moderation Brie. I understood the gist of what you said and agree with it fully. Just adding some extra input. The whole gist of the article is that if you eat sugar you don't get the signal. That's why people who consume a lot of sugar want more and more of it. If you cut out the sugar you don't have that little voice in your head telling you to eat more because real food shuts the voice up. It's hard to explain to someone who doesn't have a sugar addiction. Brie - Okay so when you get that signal - push away. It then becomes a matter of self-control. I had some good dieticians, nutritionists and trainers dealing with the class. Back in the ranks, I knew how to make people drop that body fat and it was centered on diet and nutrition. I really don't think that is the case, I really think it's the sugar and the chemicals that are telling the brain to eat more because the body is not getting any nutrients. It's not just a matter of will power.
