One of the reasons I haven't been on here much lately is becasue I have been on a health kick. I have been following a "clean eating" kind of plan, almost kind of a paleo plan. With the change in diet and regular exercise, I have dropped over 35lbs. I still have another 35 or so to go.
Of course, I still want to occasionally treat myselft to my favorite BBQ goodies. Much of the smokey goodness can still be had, as much of it is lean proteins, but where I have to be careful is with watching my sweet rubs, marinades, mops, sauces, etc.
I am trying to come up with some ideas and as I test them and narrow them down to those that pass the test, I will be sure to post them.
Has anyone else embarked on this challange? I'd love to see what you guys and gals come up with. If you have any ideas for sauces and rubs especially, I would be extra grateful.
I am working on perfecting a rib sauce that has a lower caloric impact but still tastes good. I'm toying with raw honey and/or pure maple syrup in lieu of my standard of brown sugar and molasses.
This might even prove helpful for my mom, who loves BBQ but is diabetic. I know that a few of you guys have mentioned diabetic concerns in the past, I thought maybe you might be able to help as well.
Thanks in advance!
