Food & Dining Best low carb recipes

Try Pinch of Health Forum , I lost 8 kg in 6 weeks, is a spin off of bodytrim, but is a low carb diet.

 

I've only been on this diet for a couple of days so far, here's the things I've made so far:

Parmesan Encrusted Salmon - Used skin-on salmon fillets. Got the quantities wrong so didn't have as much of the 'topping' as should have, but was still heavenly delicious.

Bacon wrapped chicken breast - Modified it a bit. Actually cut the chicken breasts in half 'hemispherically' and added cheese and garlic in there, as well as well as the bits mentioned in the recipe. It was great.

As a side dish, made cauliflower bake, which is just like potato bake with cauli instead. It was basically raw cauli, whole pack of french onion soup powder, cream, diced bacon, grated cheese. Then baked in the oven for like 45 min. It was pretty good.

 

I lost weight by having my own custom made Mediterranean salads , without the drizzle.
Low carb but not high fat, but you can always add something *****.
Good thing about salad is you can add whatever you want in it and I'll still be a salad (psychology)

 

I do normal recipes and replace pasta with vegetable strips ie zucchinni zoodles.
Recently made chicken zoodle soup. cut zucchini (or pumkin) into zoodle strips and put in at the end.
Lasagne can be made with vegetable pasta too.

I dont buy anything that is marketed as "alternative" ie gluten free pasta - it may not be made with wheat but made with some other refined crap that has not been recognised as being bad yet. It's not the food, it's the refining process that is bad.

Cant go wrong with REAL food.

My only exception is chocolate is replaced with only chocolate.

 

The hole of a donut is pretty low carb.

 

For breakfast- or brunch if you are not a breakfast person - make chilli con carne, leaving out the beans if you are not eating legumes. As much chilli powder or whole chilli as you like, lots of tomatoes, onion, garlic, good beef and oil. You can make in batches and freeze.

Reheat in microwave 2 - 3 minutes in a bowl for one.

Make 2 wells and break 2 eggs, one in each well.

Grate cheese on top. Grill or bake in a hot oven and serve with sour cream and avocado

 

Tim Ferris the four hour body has some interesting food ideas. Plus some other weird stuff.

 

Capsicums are higher in carbs than some veg but stuffed with beef garlic tomatoes herbs and feta cheese make a great filling lunch. These are also great made in batches and microwaved.

 

I never ate Brussel sprouts until one of my chefs made me this:

Fry a finely chopped bacon rasher in olive oil.

Cut sprouts in half. Add to pan until brown on one side. (One to two minutes )

Turn over sprouts. They should still be quite hard. Cook one to to minutes.

Deglaze pan with Chardonnay vinegar or similar scraping up all the bacon pieces.

You can finish by roasting in a hot oven if you wish

 

If, like may people,you don't like lettuce, try the baby cos (little gems). Cut lengthwise in half. Rub ground garlic on the cut side. Fry in a mixture of olive oil and butter on the cut side, add chopped bacon to the pan if you like.

Turn, deglaze pan with wine vinegar, finish briefly in a hot oven. Serve with fish or steak.

 

Craving chips?

Finely chop raw kale, removing stalks. Mix with olive oil garlic and sesame seeds.

Bake in a hot oven

Keto low carb is a farce.
Sure we have steak & salad, chicken & salad 2-3 times a week but low carb and keto style of eating in my opinion is not sustainable.

Portion control and increasing exercise is the key. Tradie burning 4,000 calories a day, whereas an office worker does 1,800-2,500.

Diet needs to be adjusted according to your vocation or exercise in order to restore the deficit.

Simon I am very impressed at your journey to date and you should be proud. I hope you only keep going strong mate!!!!!
