Over induction.....any sweet treat out there?

[carissa_k]

I'm through induction and am moving on to OWL. Of course I"ll start by adding in the extra veggies, but what I"m wondering is...is there anything sweet that I can have yet? Any recipe ideas. Someone told me they were eating 1 0z of cream cheese and a TB of peanut butter (combined and chilled)- but I want to make sure it's acceptable before I ruin anything.
ANY ideas would be appreciated- I would just like to have a sweet something available for special treats.
THANKS

I've moved this thread to the OWL Forum, so we don't confuse the 14 Day'ers with OWL questions, and so you get a better response. :yes

All the best to you in your new phase!!

There are plenty of naturally sweet "treats" you could have had during induction:

crustless pumkpin pie
stewed rhubarb
sweetened cream cheese
custard

All of them would use a sugar substitute, which would count towards your daily sweetener limit of 3 servings. The limit doesn't change in OWL either.

I would like to add that peanut butter is not allowed until you are in the nut/seeds rung :nod

Check the recipes board at top, there are lots of sweet/dessert type goodies you can have.

As Not2Late said, no matter what phase you're in, the allowed amount of sweetner never changes.

A little whipped cream with a sprinkling of cocoa powder (I don't use any AS in mine, but that's up to you)

You'd be surprised what satisfies the "sweet" impulse -

jicama sticks (with or without dip)
kohlrabi sticks (as above)

Experiment with mild veggies for dip - broccoli stems, cauliflower, daikon, radishes, snow peas

celery and cream cheese (even mix up your cream cheese with some black olives and italian spices for a Greek flavour if you wish)

There's a great many things that can be mixed with cream cheese to create an Atkins-friendly spread for veggies, and the sweetness of the cream cheese just may satisfy those cravings.
