The cheesecake is just a treat. I can count the number of times I have made it this year on one hand with a few fingers left over. Some people need a dessert to pass them through or celebrate, and that is what this recipe is for. If you have questions what at least one Atkineer eats, you can visit my menu blog.

The whole Calories In Calories Out argument has fallen short in so many studies and has so many holes that swiss cheese might hold more water. What you eat matters as much how Calories are in there. Low carbers eating the same # of Calories as High Carbers lost more weight, more FAT, and less muscle.The point of any successful is diet is to teach you how to eat healthy. Good advice "eat a apple" - why don't you eat just apples? The body needs more than just apples.

Okay, one quick question...WHAT THE HELL!?I understand the whole carb-thing, but what about the calories!?Do those not matter?I thought the whole point of a diet (using the term loosely) was to cut back on what you eat. Not eat chicken (fried) and cheesecake! Even if it is low-carb, wouldn't it be easier to just eat an apple? So much healthier, you don't have to worry about "Saving up" your carbs or whatever....Just my oppinion.

From what I calculated, the total NET carbs for the entire pie is about 40 grams, give or take a gram. 1 Cup cream: 5.5 grams carbs Philly Cream Cheese: 24 gramsWalnuts: 4 gramsButter .1Splenda (non-liquid) 1 gram per packet (5 grams)These numbers take into consideration fiber already. So, in my calculations, 1/12 is 3.3 net. And 1/8 is 5 net carbs... but who's counting at that point. :) I'm already done. I could save up my carbs and eat half of it!

How many net carbs per serving?

OMG! Yes yes! I'm Sorry, you are so right. I was speaking in terms of total carb count. After doing the math.... it's actually about 1.7-to-1.8 NET CARBS per total cake! Which sounds much better. My bad. Thanks for the correction. Enjoy guilt free folks!

Sounds good... Just be aware that your carb counts includes some fiber grams as well. I am always happy when someone improves on the standard and makes it great.

Just a suggestion...try adding a Tbs of cinnamon to the crust mix. It adds about 5.5 grams of carbs to the total cake carb count.But really "KICKS IT UP A NOTCH" !Thanks arain for the great vids.

Wow.. I bet that is an interesting cheesecake. I keep meaning to try the recipe with the English Toffee flavor DaVinci syrup. Thanks for giving back and letting us know about your experiment. |
