Re: Eating kosher helpful?From: PCO (anonymous@obgyn.net)Tue, 18 Dec 2001 21:46:20 -0800 (PST)
Panacea, My husband and I keep to a strict kosher diet. I have been low-carbing for a few months now and have found that it is definitely doable on a kosher diet. Many of the pre-packaged kosher frozen dinners in the supermarkets tend to be high in carbs and usually contain pasta/potatoes. So you will definitely need to cook. Thankfully there are a lot of really easy/quick receipies out there to help. In fact, most of the receipes I use I got from non-kosher cookbooks/sites. I simply modify the ingredients in order to confirm with the dietary laws. When receipes call for shell fish, I replace with other kosher fish. When meat dishes call for milk, I use a non-dairy creamer or soy milk. If the dish really needs to combine cheese and meat, I use soy-based cheese. When eating out, you face the same challenges you would when not eating kosher. But middle eastern restaurants offer a lot of low carb choices. They usually focus on beef and chicken dishes. In italian restaurants I stick to fish and salad (though pasta is definitely my weakness). I hope this helps. Please feel free to email me directly if you have further questions. Gayle
