Low Carb
Cheese CakeThough Atkins is
something that works for many people, it can be hard to give up
sweets completely. You really don’t have to when you do this style
of eating, but you do have to modify what you eat and what is
considered to be sweet. I found a few great recipes for things that
can be had on Atkins that are really sweet but have only one or two
carbs per serving. The first thing I just had to try was low carb
cheese cake. I am so glad I did. It’s not the same as the original,
but it is surprisingly good and satisfying.
When making low carb cheese cake, the first thing someone has to
get is Splenda. Anyone who is on Atkins already knows that this is
the sweetener that is recommended for this diet. Also needed is
cream cheese (two), heavy whipping cream, and vanilla. Some use
lemon rind in theirs, but I do not. This is something that can be
added if someone wishes to do so. Either way, the low carb cheese
cake will still be good and probably will be gone rather quickly
because other family members might like it was well.
One thing to remember about low carb cheese cake is that there is
no crust, at least not in the version that I have made. Some in the
later stages of the diet may be able to add a low carb crust to it,
but when someone is in induction or the early states of ongoing
weight loss, the crust is not an option. However, that is the only
thing missing, as this is something that is sweet and tastes like
real cheese cake for the most part. I found it immensely satisfying
when I had the urge for something a little different.
There are a few good recipes online for the low carb cheese cake,
and because I didn’t create the recipes I won’t put one here, but
they are pretty easy to find and they are all going to be really
good. Look for one that will be something that you can make easily.
Some are more complicated than others and what time and work someone
wants to put into a low carb cheese cake will be up to them. Though
this will have to chill for a little while, it is something that can
be made and then enjoyed rather quickly, and that is just what
someone might need when a sweet craving hits. These are rare with
Atkins, but they do happen.
