Probably the biggest danger of fried foods is the combo of stuff that coats what is fried. Most of these combos contain wheat, gluten, wheat by products and only God knows what else.

There is a spice mix called Dukkah. You can make this great mix yourself using this recipe link. Foods baked with this spice mix and EVO taste like fried foods with zero carbs besides what is in the hazelnuts.

You can saute food coated with this mixture with EVO or Avocado Oil in a fry pan. You can use some sliced pepper bacon in the saute pan with the oil, to kick up the fried food taste. Use a non stick spatula to gently turn the seasoned protein.

We buy all of the spices in the Hispanic food/spice section in small packages that don’t go out of date at very low costs. The hazelnuts come from Whole foods, the only source we can find out here.

My wife and I do a lunch at a fast food once a month to feed our withdrawal. If we want chicken, we go to Popeyes. For fish we get the grilled cod sandwich at Carl’s Jrs and share an order of fried sweet potato fries and only eat the bottom half of the bun. The last time, our local Carl’s only had a fried cod. I popped up 2+ pounds for a couple of days and my wife gained over a pound from the coating.

Thanks for the link. I will give it a try. I use a lot of almond and coconut flour for a”breading” substitute, but it lacks some of the comfort food feel.
Are you a fan of fish oil? I take quite a bit for inflammation. It has done wonders for a bad back.
