6 WBMO - Carrot Cake Deluxe

From member ........

ARC Gail Note:  It’s a special occasion.  Wearing a party hat without getting any cake makes you feel deprived.  You don’t want to be the only person in the room not enjoying cake.  That’s where this recipe comes in…

As written, this recipe contains 6 portions, each containing 2 oz protein, ½ cup carb and somewhere between 4-7 tablespoons of Veggie A.  Because of the Veggie A, the recipe is automatically relegated to lunch or dinner only.   In theory, you could have 1/6 of this cake plus a large salad or generous portion of free veggie and call it a meal—except that cake for lunch or dinner isn’t really the type of relearning experience  Michael Thurmond had in mind when devising this plan.  So how about a compromise?  For those rare special occasions, try this:  eat half your normal portion protein, half your normal quantity of carb and a FULL portion of veggie.  Slice this cake into twelve small servings and enjoy yours slowly and in small bites.  Rejoice in the fact that you’ve managed to stay on plan and have a healthful meal plus a bit of a special occasion dessert, all the while learning an exercise in moderation you’ll be putting to use when Living Lean.
