| Recipes using dextrose |
| Hi Dj, I'm just wondering (if you don't mind me asking) why you can't eat dextrose? I had a small amount for the first time last night (I have been sugar free for only 10 days) and I felt a little off...like I'd had actual sugar. Could I have a reaction to dextrose? Thanks |
| SP Cookbook - Chocolate Fondants |
Have just had a go at the chocolate fondants for dessert. After 35 mins they were still runny so I gave them another 5 mins. Still liquid at this point so hubby suggested putting them back for a bit without the foil. This time they cooked but no longer fondant centre. Anyone else tried these and have some tips?
Also, planning to halve the recipe next time as 6 full cups is FAR too much for 2 adults & a couple of very little people but how to halve 5 eggs & 5 egg yolks? Can't do 2.5 so ... |
| dextrose |
| Hi, I'm 10 days into my new sugar-free life and am feeling fantastic. I'm sleeping better, waking fresher, and my appetite settings are kicking in. I bought the Sweet Poison Quit Plan Cookbook and stocked up on dextrose, glucose syrup and rice malt syrup. Last night, for the first time, I made the chocolate icecream. It was nice, like gelato. I only had a small cup, but had a very restless night and woke feeling like I used to after consuming sugar. Does anyone know if dextrose can have this eff ... |
| Hello - Common Issues - looking for reassurance |
| Hi, Matt....you seem confused! All I can tell you is that everyone's body is different & will react in a different way...with me, I didn't have too much of a problem giving up the sugar, as I wasn't a big fruit eater anyway, and I had been backing off it for about 3 months before I found SP, because my Chemist told me that it would help with my chronic candida infection....but I also had the voracious appetite but never used dextrose for about 9 months in, (too lazy to bake!) I l ... |
| Big Fat Lies Questions |
I have recently finished Big Fat Lies and I am a bit confused about a few things.
1. In the chapter "Good Fat, (Very) Bad Fat", Gillespie states both that dietary cholesterol increases blood cholesterol and that it doesn't.
Page 135: "The researchers found absolutely no relationship between the amount of cholesterol a subject ate and their blood-cholesterol reading."
Page 144: "Eating too much saturated fat and cholesterol can increa ... |

I wonder if there is a way I can boost my metabolism somehow without waiting the three and a half years it's supposed to take for it to go back to normal... |
Okay, so I have actually been meaning to post an update here for ages! In Oct ... |
| Question on use of glucose after withdrawal |
| Bron wrote: | this might fall into the 'everyone is different' category  I never want sweet stuff, but find it hard to resist greek yoghurt with berries. Possibly because I don't eat wheat (which is an opiate so can cause cravings) and very little other grains. |
Care to elaborate on the opiate comment? - I have never heard this before. It sounds interesting, and might explain some or my no-fructose-but-still-eating-bread behaviour. |
| Whole egg mayo - quitting sugar week 1 |
Hi All,
I am doing Sarah Wilsons "I Quit Sugar" and am on day 3 (going strong so far). I have a question regarding whole egg mayo, she says that its the only one to use but all the ones on my supermarket shelf have sugar in them. Is there a particular brand I should look for? |

| Avocado and tomato toasted under the grill sounds good and hope it will taste good as well. |

| I think almond milk is good for health and I prefer my kids to drink it as well. |
