Atkins Diet Recipes: Low Carb Faux Fried “Rice”
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 …

Comments on Atkins Diet Recipes: Low Carb Faux Fried “Rice”
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.
@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.
@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.
@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 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.
I have started phase one of the Atkins diet and I’m affraid of not getting enough carbs in but I cant seem to eat more than what I am.
@hammondfamo What vegetables are eating on a daily basis? If you are getting the 2-3 cups in daily (not just iceberg lettuce hopefully), you should be fine — unless of course you are seeing symptoms. If you aren’t getting the vegetables in, then peruse my recipe videos or other LC recipe sites for ideas that might trip your hunger.
I have a least my 2-3 cups of veggies like..celery, peppers, lettuce, onions, and radishes. I’m not too impressed about other veggies so can I get the rest else where??
@hammondfamo The majority of your carbs should come from veggies, but yes you can eat the carbs from other legal sources in legal amounts, like 3-4 oz of cheese (4g). The 20g per day is only a top limit not a mandatory each day amount. If you eat between 10-15g, that is enough.
Good I feel better now thanks
Thanks Kent
@perryboston You are very welcome!
that look’s so good,i can’t wait to cook it myself,thank you
@kackleful If you miss Chinese, this is a sure fire way to satisfy that craving.
Thanks for the video! Can’t wait to make this on Sunday! I just love watching your cooking segments!!
@lakegirl645 I am sure you’ll like it if you like Chinese food. I am in the midst of uploading my newest cooking video right now, so there might be something to try Saturday too.
very creative with the cauliflower…
LOVE IT!!!
now i dont can enjoy eating fried “rice” without worrying about the real rice going down my throat.
Just found your videos…been on atkins for about seven weeks now..doing well down about 28 lbs…I look forward to trying some of your recipes…tyty
@JJTINO1231 I am glad you liked this recipe. I am always surprised at how versatile cauliflower is. Before Atkins, sure I occassionally had it with dip raw or with a cheese sauce, but that is where it stopped. Now I am having the stuff all the time. I hope you like the new recipes I am producing as well.
Is the colifower precooked?
@gkyahoo No, it is raw when you grate it, and they you fry it.
are you using the S blade and the shredding blade or just the shredding blade of your food processor. are you putting the cauliflower and the stem or just the flower part
are you shredding the flower part or the flower and stem part of the califlower
@CoachU2Health Actually I used both S blade and the grating disc on the food processor. The combination of both I think gives the best results. I shred everything except the really hard inner core.
