Challenge yourself to bake a LC cheesecake and only eat one slice per day.
At 305 kcals per slice, it makes a decent breakfast. It get better in the
fridge over that time, too.

I could eat a slice a day but i would feel like i was cheating anyway -
that's alot of cake, I wouldn't want to start a new bad habit when I've been
doing so good. I really had a prob in the past with that kind of food!!

Well, it's 305 calories and about 5 g of carbs per slice...spread over 16
days....cheese, eggs, almond flour, etc.

I've had problems with stuff like that, but that was back when I was eating
sugar in cake....

But do as you feel able....

I may do it. it may give me the feeling that I am being so decadent - eating
Cheesecake everyday for breakfast! Crazy! And I won't feel like I'm denying
myself treats ;o)

I will just give the philly creamcheese recipe a whirl - with splenda of
course and I'll look up a nut crust recipe.

If you get out of control, throw the cake in the garbage. That always works
with me if I slip up with nuts. I'm not too fond of eating out of the
garbage can (and I've thrown almost-full 48oz jugs of almonds away!).

I'd have to spill out the containers into the garbage!! - the insides stay
clean so it will justify retrieving the goodies in a an all-out crave rage!!
I went off plan once when someone gave me a giant bag of chocolate truffles-
i threw it out ...then pulled it out of the trash multiple times. pretty
pathetic - but i was fat and pathetic!!

One slice per day? Cheesecake shouldn't be everyday food if you're on
a diet. Also anything that is in your house will get eaten. Don't buy
or bake stuff that you shouldn't eat--or at least only get a small
portion so you don't have the temptation sitting around.

Why not? It's got eggs, cheese, and nuts, which are all LC foods, and
the calories per serving are appropriate. A slice of cheesecake makes
an ideal (and quick!) LC breakfast, and at that rate you'd only have
to make one every two weeks or so.

Nonsense.....I ate one slice per day and lost 8 lbs that month. Learning
self-control is a part of what this journey is all about. Without real
sugar, the cheesecake won't create cravings the way normal CC would. If you
can control yourself with cheese, eggs, splenda in the house, how is this
any different?

Or you can have 3 children in the house which will consume any leftovers
before an hour is up after baking said dessert.

Why can't it be everyday food? Sounds delicious and a GREAT idea, Roger. I
think I will...maybe make it tomorrow. I will probably use it for my
lunch, though, instead of breakfast.

Why not? Its ingredients are all things that are perfectly fine on a low
carb WOE, cream cheese, eggs, a little flavoring, a little artificial
sweetener, maybe nuts for a crust. Why does it matter what format these are
presented in?

Even though I'm the token real food purist/zealot, I do have to agree. It's
not even a real cheesecake. I could understand if it were real cheesecake
(even real cheesecakes are more nutritious than most breakfast cereals),
but this is just eggs, cream cheese, nuts, splenda... poured into a
springform pan to assume a cheesecake-like *shape*.

I never baked a cheesecake LC or regular - what's the difference in the
recipes?

"Real" cheesecake uses sugar and graham crackers instead of splenda
and ground almonds. Otherwise, they're basically the same - sweetened
cream cheese and eggs in a crust.

Take some to work or share with family.....don't tell them it's LC or that
it is made with splenda....see if they notice. Oh, Myra's cake gets better
with time in the frig....
