  Apple Cake
Serves: 16 slices
Carbs Per Serving: 6g (3g fiber)
Effort: Easy

Ingredients:
1 cup boiling water (240ml)
2 apple-flavored herbal tea bags - optional
1 apple
2 tablespoons lemon juice (30ml)
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 teaspoons sugar equivalent
1/2 cup Wise CHOice Cake-ability Baking Aid (50g)
1/2 pound ground pecans (225g or about 2 cups)
pinch salt
3/4 cup sugar equivalent (equivalent to 150g)
3 eggs
3 tablespoons oil (45ml)
2 teaspoons allspice or apple pie spice
1/4 cup walnut pieces (30g) - optional

How to Prepare:
1. Optional: prepare apple tea concentrate and allow to cool. Otherwise, just use plain water in Step 6.

2. Peel apple, slice thin, and then cut part into thin slices, the rest into a small dice. Sprinkle with lemon juice, cinnamon, and sweetener.

3. Grease tube pan and arrange apple slices in an attractive pattern.

Optional: if the pan is microwave safe, partly cook the apple slice -- this will help them stay in place when batter is added.

4. Also cook the diced apple briefly in microwave or on stove to make the apple pieces tender.

5. Mix (or grind) together, breaking up any lumps: CBA, ground nut sweetener equal (if dry -- or add liquid sweetener in Step 3), pin salt. The finer the nuts are ground, the finer the cake.

6. Combine liquid ingredients.

7. Stir liquid and dry ingredients together until thoroughly wet - no need to beat!

8. Immediately pour into prepared pan. Swirl in apple pieces and optional walnuts. Microwave (around 7 minutes), preferably raised above the floor of the oven (an upside-down glass pie plate works well), or bake a 350¡F (175¡C) -- loaf pans 40-50 minutes, round pans 25-35 minutes, cupcakes/muffins 15-25 minutes -- or until center springs back.

9. Invert to serve.

NOTES:
- Use any combination of fruit and spices.
- Save the fruit carbs and get the fruit flavor from a commercial flavoring.
- Use apple or spice herb tea instead of water.

  The Blender Bomb.
For those of us that not only make a choice to live a low carb lifestyle but need to because of the dreaded wheat allergy some times we are limited on our option for quick nutrition.

Here is a blender bomb that I've used in the past just to put something into me that I can make quickly on the run. As usual blend to your own taste.

4 Cups whole milk
2 Cups of powdered milk
1/4 cup of brewers yeast
1 banana
2 tablespoons of lecithin
1 tablespoon of wheat germ oil

The traditional recipe for this includes 1 large scoop of vanilla ice cream, If you can live with this then great toss it in or look for a sugar free alternative then great go for it.

  Low carb diets and celiacs.
Recently I've been made aware that my grandfather suffered from Celiac disease. This in and of itself is no big deal but what did startle me is finding out that this thing is genetic and 1 in every 150 people suffer from it and that 75% of those people have no idea.

This genetic situation causes the body not to produce the enzyme necessary to digest wheat or gluten. So that means for those that suffer like myself from this freak of nature we cant eat the things that we crave the most. For years I've cycled on and off of ketogenic diets and have always been carb conscious because eating carbs just did not sit well with me. Now I know why its because that plate of pasta.... is and was killing me.

So low carb ketogenic diets to the rescue. This probably wont surprise anyone that knows they have the disease but for many it just might. So in the process of researching celiac disease I discovered something that really set me back. One of the side effects of Celiacs is Candida and these little critters will make you miserable to no end.

After taking a few tests first at home then at the doctors my fears were confirmed I have both these diet limiting disorders. If one don't get ya the other one will. It seems I'm doomed.


I think for my next project I might make a website for those that suffer from both. This should prove informative I think.
