You can replace carbs with cauliflower. You can make cauliflower "mashed potatoes ". Cauliflower pizza crust, and Cauliflower garlic "bread". You could also scramble 2 eggs, add a serving of egg whites, a little refried beans, tons of spinach and veggies and mix it all together. I eat that all the time. Congratulations on your weight loss. You inspire me!

Congrats on your loss, that's amazing progress. I am glad you're under medical supervision because I would have said the same as everyone else: eat a bit more. But it looks like you know what you're doing and you're getting good results.

Here is a website with some really good low-carb recipes: http://www.skinnytaste.com/2007/07/low-carb-recipes.html

Good luck!

some great ideas thanks for all all the in

ABeautifulDistraction

1/2 boneless skinless chicken breast, thinly sliced
1 yellow onion, sliced
1 green bell pepper, seeded and sliced
1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
1 TBSP any flavor blend Mrs. Dash seasoning

Sautee chicken and veggies in a non stick skillet with the olive oil and seasoning.

ABeautifulDistraction

If sauteed is a no-no throw it all in a foil packet and bake it.

Lots of great ideas already! I would just add you might want to try smoking meat and playing around with herbs as well. Smoked turkey and chicken is awesome. (Of course this probably is not an option of you live in an apartment).

Fresh herbs are cheap and easy to experiment with. Throw a handful of basil and a few cloves of garlic in a food processor with a drizzle of olive oil and you have a great mixture to throw on baked meat or use as a dipping sauce. Cilantro, onions, and lime juice prepped the same way is terrific on chicken. Don't be afraid to experiment whatever fresh herbs you can find.

I like to take shredded cheese of any kind and put it on a peice of cooking parchment and microwave it. It makes yummy cheese crisps. I also buy sliced peporoni and microwave them. These help curb the crunchy craves I get.

psucato

both those ideas sound great i will try them

Have you done stir fry? This makes 6 servings at 218 calories and 4.8 carbs. 2lbs chopped chicken, 2 green peppers sliced, 1 large onion sliced, 1 cup sliced mushrooms, 1 cup snow peas, 1 cup of brocolli florets, chicken seasoning, seadoning salt, 2 tablespoons of spicy schezuan sauce.

In large skillet or wok sprinkle with chicken seasoning and ook chopped chicken until no longer pink. Toss in vegetables, sprinkle with seasoning salt. Add schezuan sauce to 3/4 cup water, stir, then drizzle over chicken and veggies. If you like it really spicy you can add more sauce. Cook over medium heat for 15 20 minutes stirring occasionally.

He didn't say what amount of fats he ate…so I asked. People who are on strict 20 carbs are typically doing LC….which means higher fats allowed, and there is still no info given on the limit/type on fats.

and I believe I answered the question asked.."something new ..I'm burning out" no ideas were given on WHAT he wanted...

What is wrong with you??? he didn't say what amount of fats he ate…so I asked. People who are on strict 20 carbs are typically doing LC….which means higher fats allowed, and there is still no info given on the limit/type on fats.

You came in with KETO advice. He's obviously watching fats too, as his allowed foods list has revealed.

There's nothing wrong with me.

You saw the words "low carb" and neglected the context of the ongoing thread to tailor your advice to the OP's specific situation. That's not a good idea.

I have PCOS and have to avoid breads/rice/pasta/potatoes. I definitely recommend you 'spice up your life' -- my favorite is 'Cajun Foreplay' by Dinosaur bbq, though Curry's work well as well. Anything not too high in sodium. I use an 'Italian blend' which makes me almost not miss pizza and pasta. In particular I use it on zucchini/yellowsquash with tomatoes and create a 'bake'. I also like shirataki noodles. Are you allowed to have any types of protein powders? I know there are a lot of tasty fo-dessert things you can make with those.

Congrats on your loss so far! And good luck with the rest of your journey.

i have try the protein powered but it never seams to agree with me. It may work if i cook with it but in shack form even the lactose free gives me problems. I will try the Cajun foreplay and and i love the shirataki noodles been playing with a way to make mack and cheese whit them.

the diet seems harsh but if your doctor says so.....
CONGRATULATIONS on your huge weight loss....remember, you need to make good eating habits you can stick with for the rest of your life

Try edamame pasta. Since tofu is in your list I would think soybeans would be as well, but check with your doctor. Edamame pasta contains nothing but soybeans, it's got twice as much prot e in as carbs and would give you the pasta feeling. But as I recall a single serving would use all your carbs for the day so maybe you'd want to go with a half serving. Also consider torneados, skirt steak or another very thinly sliced beef cut with vegetables rolled up inside and broiled or grilled. Also fajitas, with scallions, tomatoes and peppers.

I'm doing low carb as well! I made cheese burger wraps with Romaine lettuce. I cooked the hamburger meat on the stove with salt, pepper, garlic salt and table spoon of ketchup. Once in the Romaine, I topped it with tomatoes, onion, cheese and a pickle spear. I have 3 and they were delicious! Low calorie and low carb.
