THICKENING AGENTS  
Here are a few suggestions to thicken your sauces:  
1
. Xanthan Gum: made from fiber so all the carbs can be deducted. Just a little (1/2  
teasp. will thicken 1 cup).  
sprinkle on about 1/4 teasp at a time and whisk it in real well. It will thicken upon  
standing so do not overdo. can be found at local health food stores.  
2
. Guar Gum - Can be uses the same way as the xanthan , but it leaves a "slimy" taste  
on the food.  
3
. Expert Foods notStarch - Haven't had much success with this product, as it just  
didn't seem to thicken very well, but other people have had good results.
