Matzo Ball Soup??

[NETTY12]

I have no idea if Matzo Ball soup is permissible on Atkins - I've been on Atkins now for 5 months!!! So I am not worried about induction or anything but just would like that one question resolved - thanks!!

If you're not on Induction, then you are either in the On-Going Weight Loss Phase or in Pre-Maintenance Phase. So it would depend on your CCLL, where you are on those phases' carbohydrate ladder and how your body reacts to grains.

Hi Netty12,
I personally have never had Matso Ball soup, but your plea for help motivated me to check it out. In the recipe I looked at on Recipezaar, the Sesame seeds, Potato starch, matzo or cake meal (ground Matzo bread) would be the items of caution. However, the recipe stated it had 19 carbs per serving with 2 grams of fiber. I don't know if I'd want to consume it on a daily basis, but once in a while at your level (as long as your cautious the rest of the day) would sound permissible,

Good luck.
