Carbquik Baking Mix is a revolutionary baking mix for everyone counting carbs. It's made from wheat so it tastes like flour

My buddy was telling me about Carbquick. She lives by it and says it taste just like the real deal. I'm a little scared to try it since I'm not that far out but I was wondering what you'll think about it.









This next one looks delicious I guess because I miss eating peanut butter. This one is called sunbutter made out of sunflower seeds. This looks good!

 I've heard good things about carbquik also.  But I'm not ready to incorporate baking into my diet yet... maybe once I'm down 100 lbs lol.

As for the sunflower butter, I opt for PB2 which is a powdered peanut butter that you just add water to and it tastes just like peanut butter (same consistency  and all).  Here's the stats on it:

I sugggest holding off on the carbs as long a s possible but this carb quick stuff is mostly dietary fiber so there may be no cabs cravings.  I have not tried it. 

Early out my focus was to eliminate the carb desire as much as possibl;le.  Once that carb mmonster is out it it hard to get back under control.  I've heard BAF vets repeat ths and I agree. 

I also like pb2 but it does not tast exactly like peanut butter.  I love it but if you are a true pb fan there is really no diffference in calories with other substitutes.  I take pb2 and us i to stretch regular chunky pb into a larger serving using 1 tbsp bb to 2tbsp pb2.  Same calories but over 50% more pb.

Like I mentioned in the orginal post. I have NO plans on trying this right now. Matter of fact I have no taste buds for anything early I'm forcing myself to eat as it is.

ditto, i would stay away from carbs or carblike goods period, especially early out, habits are hard to break, once you start over carbing its hard to stop (for me anyway)  i have limits with carbs as it is, bready things like pancakes, rolls, any baked goods still puff up in my tummy and i feel very uncomfortable after that its gas city!  i try not to keep any baked goods in the house!, i have a waffle once in a blue moon, i hardly ever eat pancakes,except to nibble on someone elses if i am in IHOP. when i eat burgers i eat the patty and throw half or all the bun away.  i havent baked anything since the surgery :-(.
