Pickles?
I am still on induction and don't wanna mess this up the tiniest bit. It's not on the food list from the DANDR, but cucumbers are.... can I eat 'em?
I can't find a thing on the Atkins sight about pickles. Please help!! |
yes, I was wondering the same thing. I have a jar of pickles in the fridge taunting me...

I believe you can eat them as long as there is no sugar. Mount Olive makes a Splenda-sweetened pickle, but I haven't found them yet. Also, watch the sodium - it can make you retain water. I'd say, pick a brand/type that is low carb without sugar and try..
|
I keep a gallon of Kosher Dills in the fridge. DH loves them, especially when I throw in a big handful of garlic (we've never had a problem doing this) and some hot pepper flakes. There is no sugar of any type listed in the ingredient list. 0 fat,0 cal., 0 carbs, 0 protein, 323 mg. of salt.

I wonder - if I'm being very careful to measure all my veggies so that I make sure I get the 2 cups of salad vegetables and the 1 cup of higher carb veggies... where do you suppose the pickle would fall? Would I go ahead and consider it as cucumber??

My jar of Strub's Baby Dills has the following info:
(in the US, manufacturers are allowed to label an item as zero calories if it's less than 5 per serving, including 4.99999g. Also if a food has less than 1g carb per serving, including 0.9999g, it may be labelled either zero or "<1g" ) hth, Doreen |
sour not dill
most sour pickles have no carbs whereas dill ones do.
ive been having a sour pickle at lunch everyday, and it isnt hurting me. |
I love those vlasic sweet and tangy pickles. can't have em. sure do miss em. i don't like the sour ones (go figure!!) :D
|
recipe for sweet pickles quick ones
1 cup of splenda
1 cup of vinegar little salt peeled cucumbers, sliced onions...just a little, sliced jalepeno if desired...remove seeds and slice heat the ingredients and pour over the veggies....Refrigerate..These are great... You can add a few sliced cucumbers after consuming some of the first...etc, until the mixture weakens |
I'd count the pickle as cucumber, as long as there's no sugar in the pickle brine.
|
Thank you!!
