AAM, Spices and Mustard/Sauces

[Achelois]

So AAM - getting excited about this and it keeps me motivated knowing I only have two weeks to go (half way there) to enjoy this - so planning what to have.

What if any, spices/sauces can I have - am I allowed Mustard or anything similar???

Thanks

A good idea is to use some of your favorite soup as a sauce. Be careful of the ready mixed spices as some have salt added which will make you retain water try cumin or chilli cooked down with a little water to make a thicker sauce.

what about vinegarette??

 

[Lenwie]

I believe that vinegarette is ok as long as fatfree!!

Go easy with dried spices, some contain a lot of salt.

I'm not an expert here I i'm sure that somwhere on the site someone is ,BUT..
I'd be wary of vinegrette-either it'll be full of oil=the normal kin,or it'll be full of carbs=the low fat type.My advise would be to read th label v carefully.It'd be a disaster if you came out of ketosis due to hidden sugars in the dressing.
i believe that some balsamic vinegars areok but again you need to chek for added sugar.

good luck

Never managed to find it myself so always going without, but I've heard Kraft (Fat Free) dressing
