If you want to lose belly fat, you must eat 15 grams of sugar (or less) a day. But the other part of your success comes down to carbs — you should be eating 6 servings a day, or about 120 grams. That’s why I recommend using soy flour for pancakes and baking.

Making this simple swap will allow you to cut out nearly 60 grams of carbs. Remember, by minimizing your consumption of sugar and processed carbs, you keep your body from overproducing insulin, the primary hormone that tells your body to store fat.

Good info...my hubby is eating low carb with me and he's been dying for pancakes!!! I'll have to give it a go this weekend :)

Take Care,

Gurl!!  Just use protein powder!!   1 Scoop of powder, 1 egg, add a little liquid until its pancakey sorta and then pour into cakes in a hot skillet.  

Also - Macadamia nuts are the least carby of nuts - and if you grind them up into a flour - they have 4 grams of carbs per ounce, but 3 grams of fiber (if you are a net carb person).  

I also make "muffins" out of 1 scoop of protein, mix with 1 egg (sometimes even cut up a piece of buttery cheese, like muenster) and put it in there.  Nuke it up for 45 seconds and YUM!

I also use ricotta cheese and mix with splenda and use that for a sweetcheesy topping.

Mmmm.

Great ideas...thanks!!! I already told my hubby and he's soooo ready to try the protein powder pancakes :) Macadamia nuts are my favorite so I'll definitely try those for flour too!!!

Take Care,

You are welcome!!  They are my fave too and Brazil nuts - I also found some mac nut oil to cook things in (slurp).

My new fave pancake is BSN Lean Dessert Banana Nut Bread protein powder, egg, (I use like 2 T of heavy cream for my liquid, but I eat higher fats than a lot of folk) some kinda liquid, and then crush up walnuts and put them in there!!

YUM!!

Also, like cherries have 1 carb per cherry, so if you got frozen ones, and you nuke them (or any frozen fruit, just only use "some") and then put sweetner in there - that makes a groovy syrup for the top!

Deeelish! 

Macadamia nuts are the least carby of nuts - and if you grind them up into a flour - they have 4 grams of carbs per ounce, but 3 grams of fiber (if you are a net carb person).  

I usually use a nut flour, or a mix of nut and ground flax, and/or protein powder to make whatever.

I usually enjoy a muffin a day out of protein powder - and will make pancakes for me N fella out of the protein powder - add some choppy nuts in there too!

Delish!!
