Seitan is a ...No problem :-)<br />Cheapo Dukan friendly:<br />Seitan is a vegetarian protein allowed without restrictions on Dukan. If you buy it in a healthfood store it is super expensive. If you make it yourself, it's super cheap ... it's basically wheat protein. Making it is really easy, messy, and fun. Just put "make seitan" into google and find a recipe that rocks your world.<br />Also:<br />Lentils are theoretically only allowed if you do vegetarian Dukan, but I'd prefer them to hot dogs or other crap any day. They have less carbs than other legumes (beans), so if you like them, they might be a good option. Definitely cheap.<br />Buttermilk: a tall glass of ice cold buttermilk is really healthy and fills you up. (It has nothing to do with butter ... almost no fat.) If you like the taste, this is way better than "real" milk as a snack.<br />Remember: cheap, calorie dense foods such as wheat and pasta make fat. No way around it. That's what they are designed for ...Mooncowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02173805666704928539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9148036877079471271.post-47377460602495622202012-08-13T04:19:13.095-04:002012-08-13T04:19:13.095-04:00How did the weekend go?How did the weekend go?Mooncowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02173805666704928539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9148036877079471271.post-60675024565593943962012-08-09T08:41:07.040-04:002012-08-09T08:41:07.040-04:00Absolutely....only the things that don't serve...Absolutely....only the things that don't serve us for the future get left behind.
