Mayonaise
Hi,
I eat a lot of Mayo. Am I correct in assuming that it is zero carbs and ok on induction? |

I'm a Mayo fan, and I guarantee you that you'd puke of the fat content before you would reach the 20grams of carb content. On my glass of Mayo here is written: 3,6g carbs per 100g. According to this data: to reach the carb limit you would have to eat whole glass of Mayo (approx 550g). But in this case you would also reach over your limit for calorie intake, so it's frankly not possible to get over the carb limit with mayo as long you watch not to eat too many calories. Remember, 1g fat = 9kcal; BMR @ 200lbs = 2000 kcal. Mayo has approx 70g fat per 100g. In other words: if you have no other carb sources and you don't eat it with tablespoon like ice cream it's no problem. -- B-D_ Atkins since 11/24/03 199/191/165 |

I make mine with egg yolk, lime juice, hazelnut oil, and cayenne. You can't buy it like that. -- Reg email: RegForte (at) (that free MS email service) (dot) com |

Chakolate Hi Chakolate, For each yolk I use 1 T lime juice 1 t homemade sugarfree mustard (you can use 1/2 t powdered mustard, like Colemans) 2 T cold pressed hazelnut oil 6 T safflower oil You can vary the hazelnut/safflower oil proportion, as long as it totals 1/2 C. Use more then 1/2 C for a thinner consistency. T = tablespoon t = teaspoon C = Cup Have fun with this by substituting the nut oils, acids (can use lemon juice, wine vinegar), and adding stuff like garlic juice, chopped gherkins, capers, etc. -- Reg email: RegForte (at) (that free MS email service) (dot) com |

How about preparation? How do you actually _make_ mayo get
hard and stable? Maybe a stupid question, but I've never made homemade mayo. -- B-D_ Atkins since 11/24/03 199/191/165 |

Very easy. 1 Egg Yolk 1 T lime juice 1 t homemade sugarfree mustard (you can use 1/2 t powdered mustard, like Colemans) 2 T cold pressed hazelnut oil 6 T safflower oil Put the yolk, half the lime juice, and small amount of the oil into a bowl. Whisk it thoroughly to combine. In a slow, steady stream pour in the remaining oil while whisking. Add the remaining lime juice. Add salt and pepper to taste. If you're concerned about raw eggs, you can cook the yolk before incorporating the oil in the same manner as you would a hollandaise sauce. -- Reg email: RegForte (at) (that free MS email service) (dot) com |

You have to count calories? I thought there was no restriction on calories.
My jar of Best Foods mayo says 0 carbs per serving. "B-D_" wrote in message ... John Doe wrote: I eat a lot of Mayo. Am I correct in assuming that it is zero carbs and ok on induction?
