The economy stinks everywhere but it really hurts in Southern California so I decided to focus more on my health and less on the gloom and doom the media has

Meral and Cupcakes

provided me lately.  I figured, why not get in great shape and stop worrying about money?  So far, so good.  I’m 10 pounds down, look and feel much better and have turned off the news.  I figure if something really important happens a friend will let me know.

Here’s how I did it:

Several weeks ago we wrote about a new cake frosting in development. We were fortunate enough to receive low carb cake and low carb frosting samples to try on our own.

Being chocolate lovers we opted for that flavor though they also offer vanilla.  We whipped up the cake mix in about 5 minutes and slid it into our toaster oven.  It took about 15 minutes to bake, 5 minutes to cool, and about 2 minutes to eat the entire thing!

It’s really unbelievable how far food technology has come but this story gets better because there’s frosting too.  The frosting mix comes as a powder so at first glance we thought there was no possible way this was going to turn out like regular frosting.  We followed the simple directions of adding water, and mixing in our Kitchen-Aid mixer.  Within about a minute or two we actually had frosting, same consistency, same smell but how does it taste?  Well, if you like chocolate frosting then you’ll think it tastes great because that’s exactly what it is.

Now there’s a big difference between this frosting and the other home recipes we’ve tested, primarily the absence of fat, more specifically heavy cream.  We never quite understood the concept behind going low carb then adding unhealthy and calorie loaded fat.  Of course we support the use of healthy essential fatty acids, just not the junky stuff.

So the basic lowdown on this new protein is 1 carb, 12 grams of protein and only1.5 grams of fat.  See why I lost weight so fast?  It’s not hard to lose weight while eating protein, this just keeps me happy in the process.

Low carb frosting is available here:
