Low Carb Meals

This is a good one with marinara sauce: You can do pretty much any protein (chicken, steak, pork, fish, shrimp) with green vegetables, cauliflower, carrots, mushrooms, onions, etc. Salads with grilled chicken, vegetables, olive oil/balsamic vinegar, and no croutons. Tuna salad wraps in lettuce leaves. (chicken salad too) Bunless beef or turkey burgers with sauteed mushrooms/onion on the side. Julia Turschen has a great recipe for turkey ricotta meatballs. I make those often.

I'm glad to see you're incorporating veggies into your diet. That will help.

We just aim to eat more vegetables, and cut out as much sugar and highly processed foods as possible . . . which means lowering the carby carbs (we don't follow a particular diet regiment). I am not meticulous enough with the counting and numbers . . . but if I keep in mind what is better for us to eat, then I am less stressed about it (because I just know I'm going to cave with certain things . . . I'd rather feel ok with the "moderation" thing than feel guilty about caving). Yah, I'm no help .

We did Atkins for about 10 years so we lived the low carb lifestyle. I loved sausage and peppers and ate it often.

I love carbs so I can't offer you any tricks for a low carb meal. I'm happy that what you're doing is working for you and I'm sure fellow myLotters will be able to help you.

I am doing Weight Watchers. It steers you away from overdoing carbs.

Not as much as I should, if I don't eat carbs I get depressed.

Sorry, I don't do low carbs as it drove me crazy.

The food you have eaten was so delicious. I have not made riced cauliflower yet. It seems delicious. I don´t do any low carb. I just eat a lot of veggies and a few carbohydrates food.

I don't do low carb; but it sounds like you have the right idea meal-wise. You should follow Courtney Dutton. She does extremely low carb meals.

I don't follow.any diet program Amber.I just eat everything in small portions.

No tips from me, but maybe others will give you some advice. Still eating like a bird here.

I do low carb as much as possible. Not sure about any tricks or tips. I need those myself lol.

I loved your article! I do low-carb and I do a lot of cooking I like zucchini as well. This morning I made low-carb pancakes you have to use almond flour and Almond milk. I do a lot of low-carb cooking so if you want to know what I make just ask thank you.

Hello AmberLynn. I've been on the keto diet before and it works pretty good. But it can be difficult in the beginning. Today I'm not doing the diet per se (like you) but I am watching my carbs. I read the labels on what I'm eating and limit the carbs as much as I can. I have good and bad days in regards to limiting carbs. I also try to watch the amount of calories because I found that if you cut the carbs but still eat a lot of calories then you don't see as much weight loss. And don't forget drinking water. Not coffee, tea, or juice but just water. If you like you can add lemon to the water for a bit of flavor. My only suggestion would be to incorporate exercise into your routine where you can. Try walking when you can. On sunny days instead of looking for a parking space that's close to the store/work, find one that makes you walk a bit. I'd also recommend some weight training because toning your muscles also burns energy/calories. Just a thought and good luck.

I don't do anything like that and just eat what I like in small proportions and avoid unhealthy food and exercise daily and it helps
