I found this low carb? recipe for potatoe skins. It says to bake the potatoes, remove just about all the inside, so you just have the skins left , apply melted butter to skins, fill with bacon, cheese & green onions & bake until cheese gets bubbly. It is so good!! Is this really low carb? Let me know what you think. I really miss potatoes & this takes away my cravings!

Potatoe skin on my master cook program is only 4.5 carbs. That would make a great dish for supper.

Sounds great but about how much can you have for it to be only 4.5 grams of carbs, is that about half of a medium sized potatoe?

I would try this until you are maintance. I think even the potatoe skin is what you would use may cause craving because of the natural sugar. So even if it is only 4.5 carb for a med potatoe it would cause you higher if you start craving. I know that potatoes was my all right favorite vegetable but I know I am not strong enough yet to even get around one.
I hope this help.
