ranch dressing?

[vanzion]

is 4 tablespoons of ranch dressing a day too much? the brand im using is kroger and it has 1 carb per 2tblsps. ive been using it in my eggs and for grilled chicken. im just starting to think it might be too much sugar.

The less sugar the better Have you tried this:

Sugar Free Ranch Dressing
2 cloves garlic
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup homemade mayonnaise
1/4 cup sour cream ( could try buttermilk)
2 tablespoons minced parsley
2 tablespoons minced chives
1 scallion, thinly sliced
1 teaspoon white wine vinegar
freshly ground black pepper

Mash the garlic and salt to a paste with the side of a chefs knife. In a medium bowl, whisk together the garlic, mayonnaise, buttermilk, parsley, chives, scallion, vinegar, and pepper to taste.
If the sauce is very thick, thin the dressing with a couple more tablespoons of the buttermilk. Use immediately or refrigerate, covered, for up to 2 weeks.
Makes 1.5 cups

It depends. Are you getting over half of your net carbs from veggies?

[vanzion]

most of carbs still come from the veggies but ive just been so sick of eggs that i tried ranch dressing in them and can now eat them again no problem
i was going to use a sugar free ranch but im afraid because of all the carbs i get from the splenda in my medication that using anything else with splenda in it would be way too much.we can only have 2 or 3 carbs from sucralose and i alreadly get like 5 from the medication which is too much to begin with but i have no other options there.
and everybody has told me to ignore the carbs i get from the liquid methadone and just do it the way anybody else would. i know the medication causes me to not lose as much as somebody else would but i still lose so im going to stick with it.

I use regular ranch dressing with no problems, probably about 2 to 4 tablespoons per day. I buy it in a gallon jug at Sam's Club.

This won't help the OP but...

Sugar Free Ranch Dressing

Can you use yogurt instead of butter milk or sour cream. You can't find ranch dressing here and I SOOOO miss it . Plain Yogurt that is, it has a sour taste just like butter milk.

I'd think it would work (OWL Rung2+), but why (curiosity)? Can't you get sour cream or buttermilk?

[Ohbehave007]

Yeah I can, I just have yogurt on hand right now

[JulieB]

Oh My guess is that it would work just fine

If it tastes the same, I would choose splenda over sugar...
