Atkins Diet Recipes: Low Carb Faux Fried “Rice”
August 8, 2010 by Low Carb Website
Filed under Atkins diet
In this Induction-friendly recipe video, I demonstrate one of the most versatile side dishes or main dishes on the Low Carb lifestyle. From Chinese main meal or accompaniment to an Italian replacement for pasta, this faux rice recipe is versatile to say the least. Note: for the Italian alternative, I would eliminate the Chinese flavorings (Soy Sauce, meat, sesame oil, and egg) in favor of more garlic and Italian seasoning and spices. For Induction, you are limited to 1 cup of Cauliflower per day. This recipe was developed from the original at Linda’s Low Carb recipe site. (genaw.com Here is the ingredients: 2 TBS Cooking oil 4 slices Bacon 1 Medium Size head of Cauliflower (~2 pounds), grated 2 cloves garlic, minced 4 oz of Ham 1/3 cup soy sauce 1 tsp sesame oil 1 egg, beaten 4 green onions, chopped Black Pepper to taste * Heat the oil and bacon in large skillet until bacon is slightly browned. * Grate Cauliflower in Food Processor * Add Cauliflower, Ham, and Garlic and cook until the cauliflower begins to stick (internal water is evaporated) and getting browned * Add Soy Sauce and Sesame Oil, heat for 1-2 minutes * Drag Cauliflower to half of the pan * Cook beaten egg until scrambled, and mix with Cauliflower mixture. * Add Green Onion, and Pepper to taste * Cook 4-5 more minutes Makes 6 servings Link to Linda’s Low Carb Update page: genaw.com Nutrition Info: 116 Calories; 5g Fat; 9.5g Protein; 9g Carbohydrate; 4g Dietary Fiber; 5g Net Carbs Per 1/8 recipe: 64 Calories …
@VelvetGold18 I agree there is no point beating your head against the wall eating foods you don’t want or doing a long term unviable plan for you. I am glad I found the diet for me that could get me to goal weight and keep me there 5 years later.
@bowulf It’s easy to get confused. There’s hundreds or thousands of diets out there and the people who created the diets says only his or her diet works. So I guess I have to ask myself, is this a diet I can follow for the rest of my life or will it be a diet that is only short lived?
@VelvetGold18 If one is out of control with their eating, Induction or Phase 1 in SB are intended to get that back under control. It’s not exactly yo-yo dieting as it is understanding what new foods mean.
Fuhrman is prejudiced against the amount of meat in both SB and Atkins, and while I can accept not everyone needs meat to live healthily (unlike fat which everyone does), I think he focuses on the saturated fats in one’s diet too much especially in light of many studies to the contrary.
@VelvetGold18 I have my own qualms about why I don’t think the South Beach diet is as effective low carb approach as Atkins is, and I do appreciate Fuhrman’s approach to lower carb vegetarian than ultra low fat approach of others. I however think his dispute about South Beach is wrong.
His claim of yo-yo dieting is that if one goes off track in maintenance, it coaches the follower to return to a quick phase 1 phase to get control of one’s eating. I honestly can’t fault that approach.
Did you know what the worst diet in the world is? The South Beach Diet. And yes it surprised me a lot. Everywhere you read it is said that Atkins isn’t a good diet. I think it was a doctor called dr. fuhrman who said The South Beach Diet is a diet from hell because it encourages yoyo dieting. Yoyo dieting is worse than keeping on the pounds. Amazing what you can find bu surfing the net.
thank u soo much.
@janeuugaa Well there are certainly lots of diets like the one you refer to, and many of recipes that I post here may indeed qualify for your diet although I might use too much cheese for you. You might find the best success in looking for recipes at a Paleo diet website as they perhaps most closely align with your diet choice.
I’m on a diet that eats a meat and veggies. I guess it works so good. I already lost 5 lbs. But i have just a few recipes for that. I really donno how to call this kind of diet. So i culdn’t find good recipe. Please help me!!! just a meat and veggies… no pastas no breads no orange juice no cereals, no hams no cheese, no hot dogs… I can have eggs, milk, fresh butter just a lil bit, If u know about this diet please tell me.
that looks so yummmmm!!!! thanks for the great video!!
@greencart I am glad you liked the recipe. It’s amazing the usefulness of cauliflower. You might try the fauxtatoes one too. The same result happens with that recipe too.
I’ve just made this and it’s great! I was a bit sceptical at first but the cauliflower is so disguised my husband could not recognise it. I will be definatly be making more of this.
LOL you shouldnt weave a knife with a straight blade -.-

All the ingredients are Induction legal, so you can have it during Induction. (Roughly 1 cup a day)
I have a question is this receipt is when you are out of the induction or you can eat it during the induction tomorrow will be my first week in induction and have lost 12 pound already but im always looking for new receipt thank and congrat on your lost weight.
