Low Carb Recipe - Oopsie Roll


Amazingly enough, though I don't eat a ton of breads and I eat very little sweets, I crave them when I'm low carbing. So, while on sparkpeople.com, I found a recipe for Oopsie Rolls and tried it. They are amazing and only have .9 grams of carbohydrates! Here is the recipe, just for you. (These were made by Cleochatra. Thanks, Cleochatra!)


Ingredients:

3 large eggs

1 packet Splenda

Dash of salt

Pinch of cream of tartar

3 oz cream cheese (do not soften)


1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees


2. Separate eggs and add Splenda, salt, and cream cheese to the yolks. Use a mixer to combine the ingredients.


3. In a separate bowl, whip egg whites and cream of tartar until stiff. Using a spatula, gradually fold the egg yolk mixture into the white mixture, being careful not to break down the whites.


4. Spray a cookie sheet with non-stick spray and spoon the mixture onto the sheet, making 6 mounds. Flatten each mound slightly.


5. Bake approximately 30 minutes (they should be slightly soft, not crumbly).


Makes 6 servings. Enjoy!

Low Carb Lifestyle


I began my low carb diet today and I'm writing on here for accountability. I'm terrible with food. I'm definitely an emotional eater and I even use food to reward myself for a job well done. However, I have this stubborn baby weight to lose and I'm determined to get it off and keep it off. It's been hanging around (pun intended) since I had Honeybear and I'm tired of it. I lost 30lbs in 2007, then found out I was pregnant with Baby D, so all the weight came right back. I am DONE!


Here is my food diary for the today 01/13/2010

I also did 45 minutes of heavy cleaning (moving stuff, etc, etc) which burned approximately 244 calories and I did the Sparkpeople.com 10 Minute Jump Start Cardio Workout which burned 121 calories for a total of 365 calories burned! Of course, this doesn't take into account the other things that I did today that I didn't add to my fitness chart.


Have a great day and let me know if you have any great low-carb recipes!
