I know the Atkins Diet works, but I could not stick to itI am trying the high fiber diet, I should say eating 100% whole grains and high fiber veggies and beans.I have Diabetes type 2If I eat whole grains they are quot;highquot; in carbs so how can I lose weightWhole grain foods and legumes are all high in carbsThey are also very high in caloriesWhat is the benefit of eating healthy when I cannot lose weight eating all these carbs? I need to lose 40 poundsI am very confused as to what to eatIs Atkins the best, of course for short-termAre whole grains helping me lose weight? Should I do a low-calorie diet and of course low-carbs and no sugarNothing is working for me.My Diabetes is under control and that is not the problem, losing weight is because I am not sure how to diet.What about 1000 calories a day? That would eliminate meat with 0 carbsHow about salads, yogurt and whole grain bread?I need to know what to eat to lose weight.
you want to put them in cold water anyway if you are making friesit leeches out some of the starch and makes them crispwhen you make them remember you have to blanch them first in the oil before frying them or they will be golden brown on the outside and raw in the middle.
Commercial kitchens do this ahead constantly because it is a time saverAnd they last for at least a week as long as you change the water every dayCut them up (and peel if you are( and put them in a deep plastic bucket of cold water, and make sure they are completely submerged/covered in waterIt doesn't have to have ice in it, or saltJust plain cold water from your tap is fine Apples you can toss with a bit of lemon or lemon water (not drowning them in lemon so it doesn't alter your flavour of your final recipe)
Just cover them with cold water and keep cool.
covered with cold water in the fridge and then definitely dry them off before deep frying themsounds yummy!
