is a family favorite, and while my hubby supports my LC'ing, he does not want me to remove the potatos from the roast.
My question is, as long as I do not eat the taters, it is OK to cook the roast w/ them in there, right? Those carbs aren't going to escape and creep into my green beans and cauliflower & celery are they?

Honestly i'm not sure. I believe it will make your gravy more starchy which will add carbs.

I'm paranoid but I would eat my meat and veggies w/ no of the gravy and add 3-4 carbs for what you can't get off.

Up to you though....

Some starch from the potatoes is likely to get into the pan juices, but how much is hard to say exactly. I'd say not more than 3-5 grams worth. If you're really worried about the few carbs you might get, try to get as much of the juice off the meat and veggies that you do eat; perhaps strain them out before making the gravy?

Thanks gals - I actually never use the gravy so I am in luck there. I think to be on the safe side though I will add the extra carbs, even if they might not be there
