I know you're not suppose to have fried foods in Fat Smash, But what if you fry using Pam? It dosn't have any calories or any thing like that in it.

I ask because it's impossible to boil, steam, bake or grill cubed tofu and have it still taste good. I fry my tofu with just a spray of Pam and toss my veggies in the wok too.

So what do you ladies think? Yes? No?

I use a little olive oil to cook my tofu in. I think that a small amount of pam would be OK.

My idea of using a little Pam or olive oil is actually sauteing, not frying. I think frying is more like when you have an inch or two of oil that you're submerging foods in or deep frying in a larger vat.

Although olive oil isn't really an allowed food on detox, it is good for you & I've learned that using a good non-stick pan with a spray of olive oil (either the newer pure olive oil sprays or using a Misto type sprayer), gives you just enough to add alittle flavor & browning without adding much oil/calories to the finished product. Once again, I try leaning towards olive oil vs. Pam depending on what I'm sauteing.

I had the same thought Judyo. Frying is cooking food in a pool of oil. But I just wanted to make sure, being that my Father jumped at the chance to say. "Hey! no frying!" (he's on the diet too)

I figured that because I'm just using the pam (and a bit of olive oil sometimes) to just keep the food from sticking, it's not really frying and not so bad.

How about using some organic vegetable broth to get the cooking/frying started?

good idea, Dolly!
