You will be very tired :naak: Don’t do it. :frowning:

Anyway, here are a few things: Salads with grilled chicken/fish; stir frys with tons of veggies and lean meats…

Re: carbohydrate

just curious..why are you doing this? you don't even know what a carb-free meal looks like, yet you have committed to the diet?

Re: carbohydrate

Okay usually when dieters do carb free diets, they yo yo a lot. And the reason is because it is very hard to keep up with. If you have a job, school or even a semi busy life...this will drain you.

You need carbs for energy. No carb means no energy which will lead to you being sluggish, tired and cranky.

My suggestion is portion control, increase fiber, lower the sugar and eat healthier.

Re: carbohydrate

Carb free diets are the dumbest thing ppl can do to themselves bc u need a diet u can stick with long term...u are bound to go to a davaat and pig out or splurge on desserts here and there and it messes up ur entire regime...best to go low cal, low fat diet....and keep the carbs on a down low as well...but dont go completly carb free...if u r eat protein, grilled chicken, shami kabab, chapali kabab etc --- tons of grilled meats and salads!!! Good luck to u !

Re: carbohydrate

Are you following a paticular regime? I.e Atkins? Are you concerned about fat intake?

Here's a few suggestions - I assume you were after main meals rather than breakfasts?

Kebabs of all kinds (chapli, seekh, tikka etc)
Tandoori chicken
Masala fish
Dry curries i.e. karhai chicken/bhuna gosht to be eaten with salad
Chilli paneer (paneer in every which way)
Runny curry's as soup
Keema - You could do stuffed peppers with keema
Nargisi kofte
Mousaaka
Roast chicken/lamb/beef
Soups of all kinds
Home made burgers sans bun
Shepherds pie, with cauli or celeriac mash as topping
Chicken Fajita strips with salad/gaucamole etc all trimmings minus the wrap
Steak
