    Fat Replacements

    It is a gel. It looks like a thick slurry that has sit around for 10 minutes. You would add it at the end instead of of the solid butter. It will thicken slightly but it will extend the sauce. Look at it like an extender. Basically the calories of the sauce will be the same, but you need to use less sauce. If you need 1 cup of sauce for your pasta than make 3/4 of a cup and add 1/4 cup of Ztrim. Then you will have the 1 cup of sauce you need but 25% less calories, fat, sodium, etc. The texture and flavor will be remarkably close.
  2. I would never miss Yogen Fruz on any trip to Canada. It is my favorite snack. The best!!

    Also cutting fat is important to most people. A fat free diet is dangerous but most Americans eat over 30% which is recommended. If this help cuts some great. They say it does work in carbonara, but I haven't tried. They say use it at the end in a 70/30 ratio. Let me know.

    Fat Replacements

    I have been using it and it is great in salad dressings. I use 50/50 with a full fat dressing and it works wonders. Most people can not tell the difference. I also have used it in Mayo 70/30 and also nobody could tell. Most people could not tell when it is on a in tuna or a sandwich. I haven't really tried just putting it out. With the salad dressing it i you can just put it out there. I also use it in crepes instead of egg yolks and it is super. The baked goods are not as good as butter but better than margarine or shortening. I can speak very highly of it in those cases. Nutritionally, adding more fiber is one of the healthiest things one could do for themselves. It helps control cholesterol, reduces blood sugar, prevents colon and prostate cancer. Certainly this is not a great source of fiber but anywhere it can added is helpful. Of course you NEVER want anal leakage. Does anyone have any other ideas of where or how else to use it?
  7. I have been there. I don't like it either. It is a hoax. 475 calories per course. The courses are very small. I had fish the portionwas about 4 ounces, 3 halfs of red potato, one small carrot and 1/2 of a baby bok choy. The food tasted good but I had an app & entree so the calories were around 1000. Which is not the worst but then I had to find somewhere to eat. It looks great though.
  8. I have been working on cutting fat out of some recipes. It has been coming more often as a guest request. I started using ztrim and find it very exciting. I use it in salad dressings and baking. There does not seem to be any adverse reactions, like that junk olestra. Has anyone used one of these and have any ideas on how else to use them.
  9. too bad the east side oyster bar is gone. That was the best!!
