    but I think I have seen something like this before.
    Atkins didn't say 'Calories don't count',
    he said, 'Don't count calories.'

    They used to sell potato with 1/3 the carbs of a regular potato in the US. I never tried them because they hit the market when I was still on Induction.

      Re: Low carb potato

      I don't know. I don't miss potatoes enough to try them now-a-days. I've become accustomed to eating cauliflower for all my previous potato recipes. Interesting that they can do this kind of stuff. Pretty soon they'll come up with a diet where you can eat till you feel satisfied and still lose weight!!! Oh yeah, I forgot - we are on such a diet... Dr. Atkins already thought that up.

          this kills me... If low carb diets allegedly don't work, why are people killing themselves to make LC foods?

                They sell those potatoes here...I also don't miss them enough to buy them.

                Labarum, i've seen celeriac but it's so bizaare looking i haven't had the nerve to buy one. What does it taste like?

                  Celeriac is great! I like to roast it in the same pan with beef or chicken.

                  Sadie, it tastes a mild celery.

                    Brian, how do you make your turnips? I've cooked them JUST LIKE POTATOES (mashed, hashbrowns) and they turned out super.

                      I would always refuse turnip as a child - I realy do think it disgusting. Roast parsnip and celeriac I love. Celeriac is lower in carbs.

                        I love turnips, too. I made scalloped turnips with dinner the other night, and my guest loved them!

                          Ophh! Roast parsnip - just love them. I definitely DO miss potatoes enough to try low carb ones. I'll chase this up for Australia. Thanks Brian.
