Hi everyone!

Well, I finally decided to join after coming here for about a year.

I did Atkins years ago and did well on it, except that I found it too hard going, so eventually gave up. Now I'm doing Neanderthin/Paleo, which is better for me. I totally agree with the philosophy behind low carb and aim to eat this way forever.
My only problem, as I see it, is my biggest downfall: ICE CREAM!

Hard to combine with a low carb diet!

I hope to get to know you all and be part of this wonderful community

There is a lc ice cream available here called Le Carb - don't know if they have that in Spain. If not, check out the recipe section, I know others have come up with ice cream substitutes.

Welcome!

Hi and welcome to the board. Atkins also makes an Ice Cream in the Endulge line. I don't know if it available in Spain, I would check their website, www.atkinscenter.com

You can whizz up frozen berries with almond milk in the blender when you get a hankering. It's not ice cream, but it should do the trick!

Almond milk? Never heard of it. I will start searching!

Thanks for all the great welcomes! And for the tips on the ice cream

I think I'm going to try Karen's idea of the berries and the almond milk. Does anyone know if Soya milk is allowed? Just wondering...

Depends on what source you're using for information. Acoording to Ray Audette (Neanderthin), no. Nothing bean-y including coffee beans!

Thanks Karen, I'll keep that in mind!

BTW, I checked out your website and loved the recipes. I'm going to make Caponata tonight. I made DH go shopping especially to get the eggplant, LOL. Thanks again, and I'll let you know how it turned out
