Question Is Isomalt induction friendly?

Has anyone heard of Isomalt? I believe it's a form of sugar alcohol. Is it safe to use?

Yes, it's a sugar alcohol. We are allowed three servings of artificial sweetener/sugar alcohols per day. What do you want to eat that has isomalt in it?

I'm planning to use isomalt instead of splenda when I make my desserts, bec. again, isomalt is cheaper here..Equal and nutrasweet are affordable but I don't think It's allowed.. I've used Equal on induction that's why I think I did not lose that much..

I see. I thought you want to eat "sugar free" candies or something like that.

Isomalt has a glycemic index of 2. But you might tolerate it or not. If you really want to try it, try a small amount to see what's your reaction to it. There is a sticky thread about the cephalic phase insulin response in the FAQs.

And remember desserts should only be occasional items on our menus. It's likely you did not eat them "occasionally" pre-Atkins, so don't take that as a reference for what "occasional" means.

Some people are stalled by aspartame, which is why Dr. Atkins recommended us to avoid it. But others are stalled by Splenda or by saccharine or by <insert sweetener>. You need to find a sweetener that works for you.

Most of your carbs have to come from veggies.
Also I don't know what your recipe is but all the ingredients have to be legal for induction for pancakes.
And yes if you have sweet cravings, it may be a good think to deal with those by eliminating sweets for abit

Do you know the mock danish recipe? It may be an alternative for pancakes once in a while.
Have you tried making the crustless quiche. Very good - and a great way to get in some veggies at breakfast without even thinking about it.

Bad, yet not uncommon.

Hi Liv..is this legal?
Here's the pancake recipe that I make, I could'nt remember where I read this..YUM

recipe:
1 Egg
1Tbsp. Psyllium husk
---------------------
half tsp. baking powder (optional)
1 Tbsp creamcheese (optional)

Mix well and let stand for 3 min. cook pancake in little butter.
top with a tbsp.HOME BRAND Sugar free syrup,1 tBsp. Cream, and 1 tsp. butter.....I plan to make this with walnuts and bananas when I move on to OWL.. If bananas are not allowed, I'll have peaches or strawberries instead what a treat
