This recipe video is featuring my eldest daughter’s favorite low carb meal, Potsticker Patties. It was developed originally from a recipe on Linda’s Low Carb recipe site (www.genaw.com which if you haven’t heard me brag up enough, let me do it again. The annotated recipes are simply the best! Without any further adieu, here’s the recipe: HEATHER’S POTSTICKER PATTIES Cabbage Mixture: 1.5 pounds green cabbage 1 small-medium onion, chopped, 2 cloves garlic 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon pepper 1 teaspoon granular Splenda 2 tablespoons oil Meat Mixture: 2 pound ground pork 1 tablespoon soy sauce 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon pepper 2 eggs 5 green onions, minced optional Dash hot sauce 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil Shred the cabbage in your food processor. To get really fine shreds, you can add the chopping blade as well. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large wok or skillet over medium heat. Add cabbage mixture ingredients to the skillet and fry until the cabbage is wilted, and starts to stick to the bottom of the pan. Remove the mixture from the heat. Add the meat mixture ingredients in a large bowl. Mix with with the cabbage mixture until well-incorporated. Take 4-5 oz scoops of the mixture, and form rough patties with them. This should make roughly 14 patties. Cook in skillet or George Foreman Grill for about 3-4 minutes per side. Nutrition Ingredients: (per patty) 196 Calories, 14.8g Stout, 2.9 Total Carbs (1g Fiber), 12.5g Protein
@bowulf Thank you
I was wondering what is a excellent brand of mayo to use ?I cant find a low carb one with any sugar?
@LemooreDiamond No problem, best of luck on the diet. Let me know if there is anything I can do to help.
Thank sfor the fantastic recipe!!!:D Im just strting the Atkins diet
I hope i can lose 50 pounds. 
@bowulf ….and yes! I agree we should value ALL of God’s creations.
@bowulf Oh that’s such a shame. But those things unfortunately happen while we’re procuring food. I believe we should be excellent stewards of both plants and animals. I also believe they were provided to us for our sustenance, this coming from someone who used to be a vegetarian for over 10 yrs. (till I found that study).
@TheGraceofChrist I hear you there whether intended or not. I was reading a study about organic farming and how many nests or dens of animals that it killed as machinery went by. All of life is choices that affects something. Trying to designate one piece of nature or creation higher than another piece is a doomed argument.
The only argument that ultimately makes any sense to me is valuing all of creation (as stewards) and specifically assigning value to image bearers of God.
@tommyk77 They’ve done studies with plants that show they have both memory AND emotions. Something dies every day so we can live.
@tommyk77
“human’s don’t have the moral right to impinge on the interest of animals for farming purposes”
Really? Says who?
My first question would be what gives you the moral right to impinge on my rights to eat whatever I want?
@tommyk77 If the study’s diet was the same macronutrient makeup of the Atkins Diet, what is your point? I am seriously thinking you have none, and simply out to promote your personal morals on others.
As for the morality of eating animals, we have as much right and justification to eat animals as plants or any other living thing.
As you still have failed to make any point and I am uninterested in your morality, excellent luck elsewhere.
@tommyk77 Hey if you want to resort to having to take an unnatural substance to support your personal moral stance, go right ahead. I prefer to eat my own nutrition from natural substances.
You are still to demonstrate how my eating meat hurts the environment. All I have seen is a bunch of diatribe and nothing to back it up. I but have pointed to many studies that support my way of eating. The only one on a religious war with nothing to support their beliefs is you.
@bowulf Yes, supplements are fine. I really don’t get this weird paranoia that Americans seem to have against non-organic, supplements, vaccines etc. It’s highly irrational.
I’ve already told you that I do not eat animal products because they harm animals and the environment. You are yet to demonstrate how this is an incorrect action I am taking.
Also, testimonies aren’t reliable. So don’t bother
@bowulf Again, I’m addressing the Atkins Diet specifically. Not just low-crb diets. I agree that low-carbs work for the first year.
Veganism isn’t a fad diet. It’s a moral position. I don’t see how we can justify causing animals to suffer and die just so we can have a tasty meal when we don’t really need animal products in the 21st Century. Humans don’t have the moral right to impinge on the interest of animals for farming purposes.
@tommyk77 I referred to one of the NEJM, it demonstrated a statistically significant difference between the Low Carb followers and the low Stout followers after two years.
“These diets” are no more fads than a vegan diet is a fad. It is way of eating and proven to be more effective than other.
Animal harm – more nonsense. Animals are raised to be eaten like my strawberries are raised to be eaten. Sure, they should be treated right. Why? The same reason as handling berries, they taste better.
@tommyk77 ” It claims you can eat as much as you want”
You are incorrect. It says you can eat as much as you need to be satiated. That is different than you can eat a cow each and every day. As for the calorie in calorie out argument, I have a whole video on it. The small answer is people on low carb in studies eating the same number of calories as low stout lost more weight. LCers who were able to eat ad libitum (no mandated limits) also lost more weight strict Calories and found it simpler.
@tommyk77 So depending on an unnatural supplement is fine in your eyes?
My point is why eliminate a food group for no reason? If you are going to restrict something from your diet, there had better be a reason behind that choice.
I lose 211 pounds on this diet. I have been at goal on this diet for nearly 6 years. The results are only small-lived if people use the diet as a small term fix. Those who learn the lessons have permanent and dramatic results.
@bowulf continued…
The New England Journal of Medicine did two studies on specifically the Atkins diet and showed that it did not differ in weight loss to other low-carb diets. Typically the loss plateaued at one year.
What I am saying is that these diets are fads. Weight loss is achieved by eating less and getting more exercise. Simple. I augmented this point by pointing out that consuming meat contributes to environmental and animal harm for a trivial pleasure.
@bowulf I have a B12 supplement. Supplements are available for all minerals you mentioned (although I get enough from the fruit and veg I eat. Usually about 10 parts a day).
I reckon I may not have made myself clear. I agree that low-carb diets can cause weight-loss, but these are typically small lived, I.e. one year. Also, the Atkins diet is not a mere low-carb diet. It claims you can eat as much as you want and does not address issues of caloric intake. This violates physics.
As for not being more effective than standard diet, check out this meta-analysis study that demonstrating in vast majority of the studies that compared low carb to a low stout approach, low carb was more effective and a smaller failure rate.

Sorry the studies are on my side…
@tommyk77
Twelve years:
Long-term use of the ketogenic diet in the treatment of epilepsy
Twenty years:
Low-carbohydrate-diet score and the risk of coronary heart disease in women.
The 44 month study is fascinating as the people following the high carb approach experienced 7 times more heart attacks and serious heart-related problems (like one death) than did the low carb followers.
@tommyk77
Two years:
Carbohydrate-restricted diet for obesity and related diseases: an update (2008)
Weight Loss with a Low-Carbohydrate, Mediterranean, or Low-Stout Diet.
Three years:
Long-term consumption of a carbohydrate-restricted diet does not induce deleterious metabolic effects.(3yrs)
Long-Term Outcome of the Ketogenic Diet for Intractable Childhood Epilepsy (3 years)
Four years: (44 months)
Low-carbohydrate diet in type 2 diabetes” by Jörgen V Nielsen and Eva A Joensson.
@tommyk77 Vegans routinely experience B12 deficiency, extreme difficulty in getting sufficient quantities of other minerals and vitamins (like zinc, calcium). While the same can be said about the standard American diet (not B12 since the required amounts are small), eliminating the surest and simplest sources for those vital nutrients is not the right the course.
Stay tuned for the list of studies:
@bowulf I already said the majority of studies don’t support the Atkins diet. I looked it up before commenting.
Also, I’m yet to hear any decent argument against vegetarianism. Care to throw one my way? I really like meat, so I’d appreciate a excellent case against my position
. Seriously!
@tommyk77 Cherry pick when the majority of studies prove me right?
It’s incredible how people continue to stick their head in the sand, and refuse to depart from past thoughts. Watch my misconception series of videos if you really want to learn, and not simply try to mislead others according to your religion of protecting the animals.
The intellectual bankruptcy of your animal rights position not withstanding (you brought it up) — you are still incorrect on the primary subject as well.
@bowulf You can cherry pick whatever studies you like. The majority of studies into the diet show that it increases risk of heart disease and is no more effective than a regular diet of the average American.
Try poking at my animal rights position, fine, but it’s exactly what I would expect from someone who doesn’t have the facts to support him. You sound desperate
@tommyk77 Wow I guess the numerous studies that say Atkins approach or low carb in general to be the most effective way to lose and maintain weight loss were just a figment of my imagination — especially the ones where the heart risk factors DECREASED on Atkins.
Your last sentence clarifies your whole motivation about animals dying for our trivial pleasure. Take your animal rights garbage elsewhere.
