In this cooking video, I detail how to make one of my staples of the diet — low carb fried chicken. You don’t have to give up the joy of fried chicken, and contrary to low fat diets, you can eat the skin too! I have fried chicken at least once a week almost. Chicken has a great amount of protein as well as delicious fat in the skin. I display 2 of the 3 methods that are among the acceptable coatings for chicken or chicken-fried foods (like Country Fried Steaks):
* Parmesan Cheese – Induction friendly
* Carbquik breading — I typically buy mine from Netrition or Amazon.

* Crushed Pork Rinds. ** not shown Just run the pork rinds through a food processor to crush the rinds into smaller pieces. You would be surprised by how tasty this is, and how little pork rinds flavor there is remaining. I had intended to show this method as well, but Wal-mart wasn’t selling them anymore.
Here is the recipe for the breading:
* 1 cup of Carbquik flour
* 2 TBS Paprika
* 1 TBS Black Pepper
* Dashes of Cayenne Pepper, Chili Pepper, Garlic Powder, Onion Powder, Poultry Seasoning

Hey you are through what most consider the worst part. Now it is just proving you can do it over awhile. If you have any questions just let me know.

Bowulf, you are the …
Bowulf, you are the man! I am from a similar background. I was in the Army Reserve for 9 years. I did a tour in Iraq from ‘03 to ‘04. After that my enlistment was up, I started a family, and proceded to pack on about 70 lbs. Ouch! I was in great shape before, and plan to be in the future. I am about a week into induction, and have a little ind. flu, but not too bad. I will keep you updated on my progress. It’s nice to have someone like you who will answer questions. Thanks, Bradock

Correct. Induction …
Correct. Induction is more than just less than 20g per day. It is eating only from things Induction Acceptable Foods List.

Okay, I’m confused…so you can only use the Carbalose flour after you are thru with induction??

I tell you I was in heaven when I figured out I could actually make fried chicken and lose weight too. It is such a great way to eat chicken, and not be forced to eat dry lifeless chicken day after day. I am very happy to have another new best friend.

You are my new best friend! I am so happy you are sharing your recipes with us! I have struggled for years being “healthy” and did nothing but gain weight! I now understand the truth abut nutrition thanks to folk like Atkins..now I can enjoy my fried chicken. Thanks!

Give it time… …
Give it time… Keep trying new combinations. I was once like you, and try them in new combinations or with new tastes. Think FauxTatoes, or Faux Fried Rice, or putting them in quiche. The longer you spend on the diet the more your taste buds will change and the better they will taste.

Do you have any suggestions for people who genuinely dislike veggies?

Carbalose flour… (It’s made by Tova Industries) I however use Carbquik which is made out of Carbalose flour, baking soda, etc.

Or better yet, make a video of your own rather than try to high jack someone else’s video and viewers on a completely different topic.
So best of luck to you, deep fat frying in your avocado oil!

Let’s see we are …
Let’s see we are talking about chicken here, and grain fed is not their natural diet? You have absolutely no clue about “over-consumption of saturated fat from grain-fed, drugged animal products” since you have no idea where or what I bought. It would seem that you would prefer I would eat 0 animal products or that the cost of such meat products would be so high, one would eat less them.
Great so I am lost, so you can bring your message elsewhere where it might actually be on topic…
December 22nd, 2009 - 5:32 pm
You asked me which …
You asked me which sources are bad in your recipe… I am telling you its the over-consumption of saturated fat from grain-fed, drugged animal products. If you honestly believe the whole story is “at some point food breaks down to its essential nutrients in your stomach,” and there are no down sides you are truly lost.
December 22nd, 2009 - 5:32 pm
But again you are …
But again you are cooking it in a searing liquid – ideally you have 0 transfer of anything. Not nutrition and not fat, so quality of nutrition within it means less that someone sauteeing it.
As for coconut oil or avocado oil, sure high smoke temps but cost is also astronomical. Think cost per benefits obtained. If I can obtain higher value (i.e. nutrition or taste), I use the higher cost item equal to its additional benefits. Spending $15 to fry chicken and Wings is not equal.

How did we hop to …
How did we hop to this topic?
That said I am all for eating your food from the best sources, and best tasting possible. However at some point, the food breaks down to its essential nutrients in your stomach. The amino acids and fatty acids from a corn fed cow will be the same. So health from a sick animal? Yes possible. Then again I advocate buying my meat from local sources (grass vs. grain means less than quality, hormones)
If you want to rail against the food machine, find another place.

2nd half of below
As for the vegetable oils safflower, sunflower, soybean, and corn oil – They are loaded with a refined omega-6 devoid of any any of the natural health-promoting antioxidants that are normally found in these oils because they are processed out to increase shelf life.
As for deep fat frying, coconut oil has a high smoke point (450F), as well as avocado oil (520F)
December 22nd, 2009 - 5:32 pm
All saturated fat …
All saturated fat is not created equal. Saturated fat from grain fed (not their natural diet), animals who are shot up with anti-biotics isn’t the best source. How much health can you get from a sick animal? As for grass-fed beef saturated fat, it’s great! As well as plant saturated fat from extra virgin coconut oil is another.
December 22nd, 2009 - 5:32 pm
But again answer …
But again answer the original question – where is the bad source in this recipe? You have a choice – the chicken or the cheese, or the variation of the pork rinds (fried pork skins). Which is the unhealthy one?
And as for balance, chciken (3-1 unsat-sat fats), beef (2-1), but what determines appropriate balance? Shouldn’t long term health determine if you are in balance or not?
December 22nd, 2009 - 5:32 pm
I mentioned I …
I mentioned I prefer to cook peanut oil, but that I was cooking in Corn oil this time with deep fat frying. Why I stir fry, I cook in coconut oil. You can’t do either with EVOO as its propensity to burn and break down at high temps leads to nasty food.

“To their amazement …
“To their amazement, they found that those
with the highest intake of saturated fats had the fewest ischemic strokes (the most common
kinds), a whopping seventy-six percent less than those with the lowest intake of saturated fat. ”
“Butter, olive oil and lard worked
very well for our heart-healthy ancestors. Or if you find it difficult to resume eating saturated fat, use olive, canola or grape seed oil.”
If there is no danger to sat fats, why avoid using them?
December 22nd, 2009 - 5:32 pm
The reason I …
The reason I referred to saturated fat as a bad fat is because people let it dominate their fat intake. That’s why I referred to EVOO, avocados and nuts as good choices for healthy fats, because most humans in general overdo their saturated fat consumption and under consume the rest (especially Omega 3’s). A balanced fat intake is best for OPTIMAL health.
Also I didn’t catch the name of the oil you’re frying in? I hope it’s not canola oil (search can-ugly oil)
