Re: Soy flour

I wish they had had almond flour though because I've heard several people say they didn't like soy flour. Guess I'll find out later! lol

If you have some unroasted unsalted almonds you can make your own 'flour' just as people make ground flax, by grinding it in a coffee grinder to the texture you want.

The ones without skins make a whiter 'flour' than those with the skins.

You do have to keep checking the consistency and stop before you get too far or you will have made almond butter!!

Re: Soy flour

Oh dear. I seem to have opened a little bit of a minefield here. I'm sorry if i've offended anyone but I do find that with 2 kids under seven and a full time job, its pretty difficult to "plan" all the time. Hence the need for some pre prepared food i can cram into my mouth when I have about 2 minutes to plan the weekly shop, get the kids to respective clubs, and field phone calls from the office every 5 mins (slight exaggeration but im sure you know where i'm coming from.) whilst still ensuring I keep under 20 g carbs (most from vegetables) per day.
Also with regards to eating out, I still strongly feel that there is a niche in the market for some low carb cafe/restaurants, where carb content is clearly shown on menus. Maybe im an optimist.

You're right, that would be nice! Here in the US, I have heard and noticed that California restaurants are now being required to post the nutritional content of the meals on the menu! How great is that??? Now I can truly pick the lowest carb item and make better choices! I love that the caloric content is there too so I can see that and the sodium they put in their dishes. I have noticed this lately when I visit California and found it odd but now I realized it was a new mandate the state instituted and I think they might be doing it in New York too...interesting! Smaller "mom and pop" shops may not have to but I know larger food chains of sit-down cafes and restaurants do. It was odd to sit down at an International House of Pancakes and see the nutritional rundown. I was almost giddy with excitement! Lol. No more mystery! I applaud them! I wish Nevada would adopt this now too. I do like how the UK seems to have more stringent standards for "zero" carb content labels. I prefer to have the truth, if there are .5 grams in there, I want to know!

Availability is limited where I live too...out in the middle of nowhere. I have to travel to the nearest major city to get a chance to get Atkins products or low carb products but most of the time, I just order online because shipping isn't bad these days but then again, that's here in the US. I wish the shipping to the UK was better, sounds like its pricey.

P.S. I did want to mention though that most of the time, I eat just regular old food and the products are secondary and occasional as I know that real food is always better than a "product" but sometimes they are nice to have for convenience factor and it helps me mentally - like hey, I can have pancakes once in a while (low carb ones) and such things that help me stick to the plan instead of veering off just because I miss a certain food!

Re: Soy flour

MMMMMMMMMMMMMM I think that the soy fiber ( not the whole flour , but the fiber ) is OK on induction, because its listed as being ZERO carb. I use it all the time and I have no type of problem with it.

I LOVE the taste of the soy flour by the way. Im realy waiting for my OWL to start using it on many recipes of cakes , breads and snacks. YUMMI !!!

It is only OK for induction if it is soy protein isolate!
