i bought the atkins mix for 10$

i bought soy flour for 2$

what is the difference between these two? are they interchangeable?
maybe i should mix them to make the atkins last longer or should i just make all the recipies with only the soy flour and abandon the atkins mix altogether?

any suggestions for what to make?

also, should i get high gluten wheat flour (or something like that... had the same amount of carbs as the soy flour) and what about flax meal? what can i do with these flours?

thanks!

Hi new_here

I don't know the answers to these questions, but I just wanted to register on this thread to see the replies.

Good questions, tho!

One difference is only Atkins recipes use the bake mix, while many LC cookbooks use the soy or almond floour

Put the flax meal in the fridge to stay fresh. Flax can be added to almost anything for a little dose of healthy fats. Some people use it for a hot breakfast cereal. There are some carbs in flax, although all the ones I find make it look like all the carbs come from fiber. You can also make recipes such as flax seed muffins, breads, or use them in place of some oils when baking. Do an internet search and you will get alot of recipes. I used them this morning in those pork rind fake french toast stuff. I modified them to include the flax and lecithin for extra fat and reduced sodium. I also replaced the cream with unsweetened yogurt because of lactose problems and just added more sweetner.

The moral of my off topic meanderings, experiment Take regular recipes and replace the flour called for with a mix of soy flour and bake mix. If you do alot of baking you might want to get the LC thickners. They have one that replaces corn starch (xanthum gum) and another that replaces the texture of sugar in recipes without changing the flavor.
