IOH Test Kitchen: Love this recipe as done and with the same basic batter I simply poured it into a nonstick pan and made great-tasting crepes! I made two changes the second time. The first was to add plain seltzer water instead of tap water. It's an old Atkins trick. Don't ask me why it makes pancakes fluffier and tastier but it does. The second was to cut the fat. I dropped the 1/4 cup creme and used 1/4 cup Hood's Low Carb Milk (the low fat version) which actually has less carbs than the cream and a fraction of the fat. To replace the lost taste by omitting fat, I added 1/2 tsp. of vanilla extract.

South Beach Diet Series Read about The South Beach Diet South Beach Diet SBD Quick & Easy Cookbook Good Fats/Carbs Guide SBD Cookbook SBD Dining Guide South Beach Diet on CD Fat Flush Plan Read about the Fat Flush Plan Fat Flush Plan Complete FF Program Fat Flush Foods FF Cookbook FF Fitness Plan FF Journal & Shopping Guide The keys to overweight are liver toxicity, waterlogged tissues, fear of eating fat, excess insulin, and stress, asserts nutritionist Ann Louise Gittleman. Her Fat Flush Plan addresses these problems with a targeted diet. The Fat Flush Plan, filled with nutritional analysis and detailed explanations, is not a quick read. Despite Gittleman's assertion that the plan is "as easy as 1-2-3," it is quite regimented. No white flour, white sugar, margarine, vegetable shortening, artificial sweeteners, or caffeine. The diet emphasizes essential oils (e.g., flaxseed and GLA), protein (eight ounces or more, plus two eggs a day), vegetables, thermogenic spices (e.g., ginger and cayenne), water, and diuretic beverages (eight glasses/day of diluted, unsweetened cranberry juice). In its first two-week phase, the plan is a rigid, low calorie (1,100-1,200 calories/day), low-carb (no grains or starchy vegetables) diet. Phase two lets you increase your calories to 1,500 and add two "friendly carbs." Phase three, the "lifestyle program," moderately adds more dairy, carbs, and calories. Gittleman promotes walking and recommends strength training in phase three. The book includes 41 recipes such as Grilled Lamb Chops with Cinnamon and Coriander, Breakfast Egg Fu Yung, and Cumin Sautéed Scallops. The Fat Flush Plan is recommended for dieters willing to commit to a strict plan for weight loss. --Joan Price
