Atkins and Low Carb Weight Loss
Lemon Pie
Hi everyone!
I found this recipe for lemon pie that uses a premixed lemonade mix (like Country Time) and sugar. I'm going to substitute with SF lemonade and Splenda.
Now - it calls for putting it in a pie crust. What else could I use to reduce/eliminate the carbs? Its not going to set up enough to not have a crust of some sort.
Any ideas are appreciated!

That sounds yummy!!!
I might try making a crust out of almond meal (using a graham-cracker-crust type of recipe, since it won't "stick" together otherwise).
Please, will you let us know how it works?

Interested in low-carb nutrition? Thinking of trying Atkins? Want to try high-fat and/or high-protein eating? Whether or not you have had (or are thinking about) WLS http://www.obesityhelp.com/group/atkins/
Well... I didn't find the SF lemonade mix - I bought a container of Crystal lite but it wasn't nearly enough, so I had to use the sugar added lemonade mix - BUT - I did use Splenda.
So far so good - it tastes yummy. I used a regular pie crust which looks weird - it fell into the pan while baking... lol. oh well.
Next time I'll try something else. This actually was a mix where you premix the dry ingredients then when you're ready to make the pie you add the rest (eggs, cornstarch). It makes a lot - I really wish I could have found the SF lemonade, but it was a small local store.

I used almond meal when I was making cheesecake for the holidays. It makes a great crust, not low cal, but low carb.
