Low Carb Diets

List low or no carb food options for those who are thinking of limiting carb intake.

Re: Low Carb Diets

Salads
Grilled chicken with veggies
Dal soup
Lettuce wraps (i.e make a sandwich with lettuce instead of bread)
Spaghetti squash (looks just like spaghetti and goes great with pasta sauce)
quinoa (is a carb but lower than brown rice or whole wheat pasta)
Broth based soups
Vegetable soups e.g tomato soup

Re: Low Carb Diets

Eggs/boiled/scrambled/omellette
chicken/roast/fried, any which way :slight_smile:
lamb roast/or just from the handi
paneer
hate beef, so thats off my menu
Fish (fried):hehe:
avocado’s
strawberry’s
sugar free jelly

also i try to limit as much carbs as possible without totally denying them, example if i have ordered a sandwich of some sort, i will take off the top slice and eat the rest of the sandwiches, will swap the potatoe option with salad when it comes to meals, Im not a big fan of pasta, so that doesnt really bother me, but i like rice and i love bread :bummer: with rice i will have more protien on the plate than the rice, and bread what i have mentioned above.
